Wait, you forgot what for Thanksgiving?

MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WDTN) - So you have the turkey, you have the pumpkin pie, you have the cranberries.

Wait, you forgot the cranberries?

Uh-Oh.

"It's always the last minute things you think about," says Stephanie Underwood, who was doing some last minute Thanksgiving shopping. "Oh, I missed the salt. I gotta get some salt. I gotta get the flour."

The Kroger on West Alex Bell Road was filled with shoppers who were either looking for that one item they missed or in some cases going through an entire list of Thanksgiving essentials. 

"I have all the fixings," says Sheila Cranford.

For Cranford it took a little more than an hour to make it "over the aisles and through the carts to the check out lines she goes."

And that was despite leaving one important thing at home.

"Don't forget your list," Crandon says. "Make sure you got a list so you can go through the aisles swiftly and get on out so you can get back home and enjoy family and cooking."

For others, like Underwood, who was shopping for her mom, the experience was as easy as pie.

"It wasn't bad at all," Underwood says. "The weather's beautiful and I'm out early."

Well, she was almost out early.

"I think I forgot the onions," Underwood says. "I may have to go back in and get the onions."

But no matter how much shopping you did, there was one key Thanksgiving ingredient you couldn't find at the store.

Togetherness.

"I have family I haven't seen for a while but we all come together and it doesn't matter what's been going on during the year," Crandon says.

Adds Underwood, "That's the good thing about Thanksgiving. It's all family."
