Cheap Date: Holiday Taste Fair at Mustard Seed Market

Thanks for checking out our new feature. Every Friday, we will suggest one event or activity to do on the weekend that won't break the bank. Introducing Cheap Date.

You remember when you were little and you would accompany your parents to the grocery store? A successful grocery store trip for you wasn't measured by the amount of groceries you carried home in the trunk of your car; it was all about the little samples you collected while meandering through the aisles.

Invite your special someone to accompany you Saturday to the Mustard Seed Market's Holiday Taste Fair where you can relive that nostalgia and load up on sample after sample of Thanksgiving staples. Plus, there's no guilt involved with these samples; you can try everything. In fact, that's what Market Seed Market employees would like you to do.

Try it all so you know what'll be sitting on the table come Thanksgiving.

And trust us, you'll get your fill. We're talking all-natural turkeys, artisan breads, sides and dessert.

"We essentially give away a whole Thanksgiving dinner for free," second-generation owner Abraham Nabors said.
