Any Halloween stuff anywhere yet?

[50sjayne]

Saw some at Walgreens and a few things at Costco, have heard Michaels and Goodwill has their stuff out- anywhere else?

[Rockfordmom]

All of the stores here have it out, even the grocery stores.

[amberjobryant]

Just got back from Lowe's and they've got their Halloween decor out.

[beccasbank]

Dollar General in MI has Christmas stuff out!!!

[50sjayne]

Thanks for the responses, we didn't have time to go to the dollar tree here last night-- they always have great stuff. We did go to big lots and they had some-an aisle's worth, Walgreens had a little, Costco had a giant bat for $26 that was cool. We spent too much time at Big Lots but I got some great stuff, crocs for $12, all 24 episodes of Joey for $6 and the first season of Night Court also $6. We did get some Halloween stuff there too- a Dracula's pub sign that lights up, was the highlight and a black kitty pumpkin at Walgreens. Seems like stores have stuff out here-- just not a lot yet and Target doesn't have it's stuff. I haven't been in a Walmart for 5+ years so I don't know if they have stuff or not.

Hmmm....I think I hear someone with a juicy Wally World story to tell LOL

[nat1jen]

Costco already had Christmas trees and ornaments out! I am still waiting for Halloween.

Nope-- I loved Walmart, really mised it at first but when you look at the big picture of what it is and what it represents- I could no longer go there. The documentary High price of Low Cost sealed it for me. I cannot support those business practices and their extreme anti union stance. I realized after awhile that if you are a good shopper- you can find things for the same price or cheaper on sale elsewhere and I don't miss the type of white trash customer base I got tired of rubbing up against there. I'm not saying I am so highbred myself-- proud descendant of Missouri white trash here-- it just kind of disgusts me how people completely ignore what is really going on with that company-what it is doing to America-- for a few pennies savings.

I agree 50sjayne. Due to my employment at Walmart I am able to support myself, own my own home, have 2 cars (one brand new, the other 3 years old) in my driveway, a retirement account, profit sharing, discount on hotels, theme parks, cruises, etc..., an insurance policy that pays 80% of medical bills (if they go over $5,000 my insurance covers 100%). I sure wish I had a union representing me like GM and Chrysler. I am soooooo jealous of Chrysler and GM employees right now.

 

 

 

Hope you recognize sarcasm!!!!

forgot to write last phrase

[lovetoshopCA]

Target, OSH & Ralphs (Kroger) have it out here

[50sjayne]

I had heard they have improved the insurance lately and that is great. I also like the fact that they are going greener. Plus the low cost generic prescriptions are awesome. I hope they keep improving. But these things alone are not enough to entice me back to their store. My brother worked for Walmart and could barely support himself, his wife and child were on welfare--it's how they got insurance. Your personal anti union stance--well a whole 'nuther can of worms for a whole 'nuther message board.

[mtsuboy]

to stay on topic:

 

Halloween candy should be set at Walmart next week. Decorations, etc... the week after next.

Glad I live in the US. We have choices where we work. If we CHOOSE to marry and have kids we need to have the funds to support them. If you're skilled only for retail and don't have a lot of resources ($$), don't make babies. Remain single. Don't blame the employer.

Target is bringing in the Halloween here (NC: wilson, knightdale and wake forest)

[jewleyp]

Hobby Lobby has Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas out. Looking at all the holiday stuff makes feel cooler in Hot Texas....lol

[Butterflyisis26]

Went by my local Kirkland's yesterday and they have an array of Fall/Autumn- Halloween and were in the process of putting out Christmas decor also. Ugh! Let me get through Halloween at least before even thinking of Christmas!

[stacy0479]

I was disappointed. I got excited reading this thread, so I thought I would go out and see what I could find. Nothing. Target and Walmart both have nothing to do with Fall or Halloween yet.

[tinkrbel]

our wlamart is starting to bring halloween out, just fall accessories while they attempt to clear school stuff for now. kmart had two aisles full a few days ago

[lot-narth]

Went to Meijers today and they had their Halloween stuff out.

[newmom517]

Walmart had their halloween candy and stuff out. So did Dollar General.

[50sjayne]

Found some great stuff at St. Vincent De Paul yesterday, I've been looking for more outdoor stuff and found 2 plug in plastic things-- a big handsome pumpkin and a tombstone with ghosts coming out of it-- really cute for $10 and $5. Found a Similiar thing at Goodwill last week. Scored husband a Nightmare Before xmas shirt for $4 at St. Vincent.

[krissy077]

does anyone know if lowes puts there halloween stuff on sale before halloween like they do their christmas stuff?

[nelsanbor]

Target in my area is starting to put out Halloween stuff.

[christyandtimm]

The Lowes in Arnold, Mo already has its Halloween stuff on 50% clearance. Not much left after the employees got their hands on it first. They only had one end cap of stuff left. All the other Lowes in the area are down to the same inventory or less, but they are not clearanced yet.

[MarkdownQueen]

I can tell you this, most stores are severly cutting back on their inventory. They don't want to be left with alot of holiday merchandise then have to take huge markdowns to make little profits. It use to be so much easier now everything is scarce.
