Thanksgiving procrastinators have a few more days to stock up on pies and cookware.
Yes, but: New Instacart data shared with Axios shows plenty of people wait until the last minute to get essentials.
What they found: Pumpkin pie, pecan pie and dried sage are the top last-minute orders just before Thanksgiving, per Instacart.
- Food thermometers and mixers are far and away the top needs on Thanksgiving itself.
Between the lines: Instacart's findings reflect items that were especially popular around Thanksgiving 2024 compared to average demand over the year.
The other side: Nashville residents still have some time to beat the rush care of a few local restaurants.
🍽️ Martin's Bar-B-Que can cater your whole party for up to 15 people. There are also options for smaller gatherings and a la carte sides.
🍗 Edley's Bar-B-Que is also offering full feasts, including ham, turkey, sides and pies. The deadline to order is tomorrow.
🍰 City House is selling special sweet potato pies and cakes for Thanksgiving. You have until Monday to place your orders.
🥧 Baked on 8th will have a limited supply of pies and desserts stocked daily on a first-come, first-served basis next week.
