PHOENIX (AZ family) — Are you one of those people who wait until Thanksgiving to shop, or did you forget some gravy for the mashed potatoes? Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest times of the year, so here are some tips if you need to do some last-minute shopping.

Arizona’s family spoke with Ashley Shick, director of communications and public affairs with Bashas’ stores.

If you need to go to Basha’s, all stores are open on Wednesdays during regular business hours. But on Thanksgiving Day, the store will only be open until 15, so be sure to stop by early.

“Right time if you work on things in the morning or if you eat early, like if you’re one of those families that eat at 1 o’clock and you burn the rolls or something like that, plenty of time to come down and grab it,” Shick said.

What if you want to avoid the crowds? She says the earlier the better to avoid the mass group of shoppers.

“I think the earliest and the later. Those are really the slowest and quietest times. Tomorrow morning will inevitably be a little bit hectic and crazy. But even while we’ve been here, we’ve seen a lot of people come through this self-checkout and get kind of a random mix of things,” she explained. “But definitely early in the morning or late at night will be the quietest times.”
