I actually work for a Kroger.  I too was shocked when walking through the entrance yesterday seeing outdoor pumpkin decor for the fall. But someone up above made a good point.  When retailers receive  seasonal product there isn't much space to keep it stored in until the holiday arrives.  Daily loads of product still come in and get pushed through...not easy to move when other large things are in the way...so retailers drop seasonal items prices (still trying to make a buck on em') and clear them out.  Get the higher priced ticketed next season things in to make higher profit on them. They've mastered this.

Probably to make sure we are all able to get our candy fix. LOL. I still can't believe the Summer is half over and they have school supplies out.

I always get excited seeing all the halloween stuff. They come out with better, creepier & just plain outrageous stuff every year. I like browsing through the items.

I have not seen any Halloween stuff out yet,  I think it is too rushed and summer is not even over.

Besides random items, I haven't seen Halloween stuff either...big focus now is back to school items which have started appearing in stores

Why does it matter? No one is making you buy anything.

Do they? I havent noticed! I havent been in many stores lately though. I noticed school supplies, I guess it is about time for kids to go back.

If halloween is out then it wont be long before christmas stuff is out. Seems like it was just here!

I haven't noticed Halloween stuff out in stores I have gone to lately. But of course since I just wrote that, I will probably see some tomorrow!

Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday, so I don't mind seeing all the stuff out already, though it's certainly soon. I do get annoyed seeing other holiday stuff way ahead of time, but I've grown used to it too in a way. They're just trying to move product, I get it.
