Saturday 11/28/09: Buy for next Thanksgiving

The best time to buy anything for any holiday is within a week after the same holiday the previous year. So if you're into decorating for Thanksgiving, or you were thinking how nice it would be to have a pretty fall platter at this year's dinner, head out to Hobby Lobby, Michael's, AC Moore, drug stores, department stores, etc., and get at least 50% off Thanksgiving decor and supplies for next year. This is how I get all my Christmas decorations, and I'm developing quite a store of great stuff. After a week the items left aren't the best selection, but also after a few days the store will keep cutting the price, often up to 80% off within two weeks.
