Where to take out on Thanksgiving in Chicago

Where to take out on Thanksgiving in Chicago. If you haven’t heard many components of the Thanksgiving meal are going to be more expensive from the tinfoil to turkey.  This might be a good year to purchase pre-made.  Once you price out all the items you need to purchase the cost may be close.  And  there may be shortages. 

If you’re tired of shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning up purchasing a fully prepped meal may be the way to go. Or you can buy all the sides and just make a turkey.  Many restaurants are selling full meals and a la carte items.  I’ve listed everything I could find regardless of price.  Order soon.  Time to splurge!  If you don’t see what you want try searching Tock.

Affordability

This time of year many restaurants are selling gift cards that offer a bonus.  You won’t be able to use the bonus gift card on Thanksgiving just save it to enjoy later but you can use the regular gift card.  This is a great way to reduce the cost of your meal. I’ve noted which restaurants are currently offering gift card deals. However if you are placing your order online you won’t be able to use the gift card.  You may be able to order over the phone and pay via gift card.
