Thanksgiving

[Big Jim]

We fly out on Thanksgiving this year. We know we will be able to pick up a McDonalds or Wendy's type meal on arrival night but suddenly thought ... is the following day Black Friday? If so, how manic will the likes of Walmart, Publix be for a bit of a food shop? Also the all important first breakfast! Do the restaurants get as busy on Black Friday?

Publix is usually no different if you are away from the mall areas you will be fine for breakfast

Grocery stores like Publix don't do Black Friday. Walmart and Target do.

Must remember this, we are flying out hopefully either 22nd or 23rd and Black Friday is my birthday. Really don't want to be caught up in hoards of bargain hunters.

Publix do not open on Thanksgiving. Most of the sales start about 6.00pm - midnight on Thanskgiving, do not try and go shopping in Walmart it will be manic. On Black Friday you will be fine shopping for groceries. We went to Walmart on Black Friday about 10.00am shop was empty. Most people are shopping at the malls and outlets.

McDonalds will be open on Thanksgiving.
