Thanksgiving meal and decor deals from Amazon, Crate & Barrel and more

It's time to lean into your Thanksgiving plans and prep.

If you're someone who shops early for decor or wants to test a new turkey cooking method before the big day, now is the time to maximize sales that are happening early.

Where to shop early Thanksgiving sales

Retailers like Wayfair, Amazon, Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma are all offering Thanksgiving sales on everything from fall decor and table settings to roasting pans, carving knives and slow cookers.

Keep in mind that these deals tend to sell out quickly -- especially deals on tools like meat thermometers and Dutch ovens -- because the products are rarely on sale.

If you don't know where to begin, use the tips below to help you consolidate your shopping strategy.

How to shop Thanksgiving sales like a pro

• Make a hosting checklist: Before you start browsing, list everything you’ll need for your Thanksgiving get-together -- think roasting pans, pie dishes and wine glasses.
• Look for free shipping deals or in-store pick up: Delays in shipping around the holidays are always common. To ease stress, opt for free in-store pickup when possible.
• Shop daily deals and flash sales on Amazon, Macy's and other retailers: There are tons of sales that happen for 48 hours or less, so if you see something worth the purchase, don't sit on it for long, as these sales might not last.
• Stack discounts and use promo codes: It is always smart to search for promo codes before checking out.

Whether you're hosting for the first time or upgrading your setup, now is a great time to save.
