Hosts and hostesses can avoid the holiday meal "horror" of missing ingredients or an incomplete menu with the help of free printable grocery lists for planning Thanksgiving and Christmas.

All of the shopping lists and menu planners at the website FreePrintableGroceryList.com are free to download and print. Users can choose from PDF form (just print it out and write on it) or .DOC form (open and customize it in Microsoft Word or other .DOC-compatible program, typing directly into the list.)

The holiday grocery lists range from simple lists – three per page -- with checkboxes to a Thanksgiving grocery list with common meal items listed. There is also a full-color, illustrated Christmas Menu Planner with room to write in who is bringing which meal items to the feast. Another free printable available for instant download is a Christmas Gift List.

"With these printable grocery lists, you won't forget any of the trimmings this holiday season," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "They're so convenient to print out before you head to the store during the busiest season of the year."

FreePrintableGroceryList.com offers more than 45 printable lists to use year-round, including a popular master grocery list that details dozens of items, with checkboxes. There's also a price tracker and several menu planners.

There are over 60 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
