Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, so it’s time to start preparing. Marshalls is a great place to shop for everything from Christmas decorations and kitchen appliances to travel essentials.

Since many retirees are likely on a fixed income, shopping at this budget department store can help them stick to their budget while snagging high-quality finds. Whether you’re hosting, dining locally, or traveling on vacation, you’ll likely be able to check plenty of things off your list after shopping at Marshalls.

Here is a list of nine things retirees should look for to prepare for Thanksgiving this year. Be sure to head to the store—or shop online—soon, as Marshall’s items aren’t always restocked when they sell out.
