Halloween items available here in August! Really?

Yes, Halloween items are coming out. Nobody wants to think about Halloween this early. Christmas displays will soon be out too. It looks silly to me.

Um we had halloween stuff out in July. . Christmas will be by end of September probably.

yes its way too early lol

I am seeing Halloween items everywhere and also Thanksgiving items. What happened to waiting until a holiday is closer and quit shoving the nest holiday at us so soon.

I haven't seen any, yet, thank goodness! As much as I love Halloween, I find that absurd and depressing.

Yes, school supplies are out in July and Halloween in August. I have stopped buying things, its making hoarders out of everyone.

I noticed that . The Halloween stores usually don't open til the very end of August, but we discovered this year they are already open! Places like Dollar Tree and 99Cent Stores are already stocking the shelves with this stuff. Today we went to a decor shop and I could not believe it was decked out in Halloween galore already. I love Halloween, but I'm not ready for this right now.

I've seen it in a few stores, but not many, just the candy. It doesn't bother me though; I'm ready for fall and the Halloween season, but that's just me.

Did they forget labor day? Cheeeze, it's really gettin bad with retailers milkin holidays. I haven't looked at anything other than food for either the kritters or me so haven't noticed if anything halloweeny is out yet.

I did notice that all the summer things are discounted but I haven't seen the Halloween items out yet, I am sure they are but I haven't been in the store in a few weeks.

Those in the photo are more Autumn decorations than Halloween decorations, we will see them in the stores as soon as the kids are back in school, at the end of this month.

The stores had the candy on the shelves last month. I don't fall into the Halloween trap so I can ignore the stuff.

I expect to see them tomorrow now that you have. Brace yourself for Christmas. I did notice some of that at Costco the other day.

Not yet, but I will be shopping before the end of the week, so no doubt I'll have a chance to see if the stores are littered with them.

I know this is going to sound crazy but where I live, the Christmas season starts in September. Yeah, you read right. Radio stations start playing Christmas songs and you'll start seeing Christmas decorations in stores. I even know some people who have decorations up on the first. You also have countdown counters. Halloween, on the other hand, isn't as popular here so you won't really see a lot. You'll have a few halloween parties and trick-or-treat events for kids but not too big of a holiday.

Yes I've seen this at alot of our stores lately. It's just unreal that they put Halloween stuff out now as we haven't even had labor day yet.

I haven't noticed any Halloween items on sale yet, but it wouldn't surprise if they were coming soon, if they're not already on sale. End of August and early September seems to early to have Halloween items for sale. It doesn't make too much sense to me, but that's just me.

Not at all but I like what I can see there. I would have to make my own to get anything near to what I want.

We never used to celebrate Halloween when I was young but since there were so many US television programmes they trend has taken off here!

I guess it's all about the profits. Making people feel excited ahead of time so that they'll stock up on more than they really need. I love Halloween though, it's my favourite time of year so I don't mind if the stock comes out early. It's when I see the Christmas gift display appear in September that I despair!
