Valentine Goodies Already

Was out and about yesterday. All the Christmas stuff was gone. And yep, the Valentine goodies were on the shelves. These stores do not miss a holiday. And there is always a holiday. I bought this little M&M bowl full of M&M candies. Only $1.00, could not pass it up. They got me. But then my shopping was done. You can always find something on the shelves for a holiday coming up. But then I started thinking, it is January, Valentine's day is only a month away. Amazing how time flies.

And even before Valentine's Day arrives, there will be 'Easter Bunnies' and baskets, filled with jelly beans and chocolates!

@CarolDM And once those Easter bunnies are gone, out come the bathing suits and photos of people enjoying the beach!

Once Valentine's Day is over, the stores will immediately switch to Easter.

I know that the local stores will have chocolate for sale right now, I hope not to be tempted this year, but I am not sure. One month and one week before Valentine's Day, I have all the time to think what to do.

Some of these treats cannot be too fresh. The shelves will be full of Easter stuff before the Valentine specials are gone. The bowl is cute.

geez Valentine's merchandise is out already? If I bought candy now for Valentine's, I'd eat it before the week was done! We're lazy, we wait until the day after, buy our candy on sale, and celebrate a day late. what a cute bowl :)

Retailers' greed gone mad! I read somewhere that in the UK, Easter eggs and other merchandise was already up! Just crazy.

Yes it's a month away. But I think it's still too early Valentine stuff to be out. They are rushing things too much.

@caroldm Valentine's Day is the most abhorrent of all the days invented by store keepers. They have convinced wives and girlfriends the world over that if their man doesn't spend lots of money on her then he doesn't love her. No, I'm no cynic.
