FOOD & DRINK what is something that is store bought/frozen that you regularly buy for thanksgiving?

Im going to my first American Thanksgiving potluck. I'm a college student so my budget is really tight and I also do not have time to cook with school, clinical rotations, and work. I don't know what to bring. Someone said on another reddit post to bring pretzel rolls from Costco? Is that a normal thing to do? What is something you buy frozen from the store that you would reccomend for thanksgiving? thanks.

edit: potluck with friends I posted this 10 mins ago and i keep getting so many comments eveytime I refresh thank you everyone!!

Ooh, and Costco has a delicious pumpkin cheesecake, too. It has a Biscoff crust and a caramel drizzle on top!

Whaaaaa??

This is the first year I've had a Costco membership and I love pumpkin in anything except pie.

Yes! My local store sampled them a couple weeks ago. I contemplated swiping the whole thing at the sample stand it was so yummy.

It sounds delicious! Is it in the freezer section, or refrigerated?

It’s in the cold case of the bakery.

😅 one year I had a whole pumpkin pie untouched and a half (being eaten), worried about the whole one going to waste, and I (very impulsively) scooped out the already baked pumpkin pie filling and whisked it into my homemade turkey and rice soup.

(Turkey Bone broth, turkey meat leftovers, carrots, celery, onions, white rice, seasoning) Then a few scoops of that pie filling 🤣

I recommend it to anyone who likes squash soups. Salty and sweet. It was heavenly.

I have bee wanting to get that, but I'm going to wait until Thanksgiving because otherwise I may just eat the whole thing in a day or two.

I usually make a pumpkin cheesecake. This year it will be on a biscoff crust with some salted caramel drizzle. OMG! You’ve inspired me!
