Why do they have Halloween stuff out already?
« on: July 20, 2016, 11:15:32 pm »
Ugghh!  I went to a couple stores today and two of them already had Halloween stuff out.  I hate that.  I feel like they are trying to rush my life away.  September fine but not July!

Because the stores have a dedicated section for seasonal / holiday items... when one is over, on to the next upcoming event, no matter how far in advance it is.  Our economy is based on shopping, sad state we are in.

July does seem a little early but it is the next major holiday after the 4th of July....lol.
It seems the marketing starts earlier and earlier.

I was in Kroger yesterday and, yes, they are starting to put the Halloween stuff out already.
Have a wonderful day!

Because stores want us to buy. It's much too early for it.

It's getting earlier and earlier every year with any holidays items.   It's one of the many reasons I avoid going to a physical store and do as much of my shopping online as I can.   I'm willing to bet Christmas items will be out long before Halloween gets here.

I have not seen Halloween stuff.  Just back to school and school starts in a couple weeks.  I don't think they are rushing anything.  You do not have to buy it now.  Although if you see something you really want you better buy it now cause otherwise it won't be there when you want to purchase it.
