The more you prep now, the easier things will be on Thanksgiving. Beyond thawing the turkey and preparing sides in advance, there are simple ways to make your life easier on Turkey Day. We spoke with a group of all-star chefs including Marcus Samuelsson, Elizabeth Heiskell and Alejandra Ramos about one thing they always do in advance to get ready for their Thanksgiving meal. Sharpening knives, creating place cards for the table, and gathering leaves for a pretty display are just a few ways to help the meal go smoother and make the atmosphere more festive.

When the turkey is finished, the shopping begins. But some Black Friday sales are already underway, so should you wait until the actual day or grab those items now? NBC's Vicky Nguyen spoke with experts who said if it's 30% to 40% off now, you should take advantage, but double-check to make sure there's not a cheaper price on Black Friday. Vicky also had expert tips about waiting until Cyber Monday to buy clothing and beauty products to get the best deals, and why Tuesday, Nov. 28, is quietly a huge day for savings of up to 75% on cruises, plane tickets and hotels.
