I've had my eyes on these matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse plastic light-up pumpkins to put in my front yard, but I've been waiting for them to go on clearance sale before buying them.
It doesn't seem like Halloween decorations sold very well this year, probably due to inflation, tariffs, gas prices, and grocery prices. People have better things to spend their hard-earned money on.
Usually, by the time all the seasonal merchandise gets marked down drastically, it's all been picked through and none of the good stuff is left. But this year, just about everything is still on the shelves. It's marked down 50% currently, but still doesn't seem to be moving. Tomorrow it will all go down to 75% off, and I'm going to get up early in the morning to grab the Mickey and Minnie pumpkins.
I already have Mickey and Minnie ghosts, and Mickey and Minnie vampires in my front yard. Adding the pumpkins will be a nice touch.
Have you bought any Halloween decorations this year, or are you waiting for the drastic price markdowns?

Thank you! Halloween is one of my most favorite times of the year. Probably has more to do with the seasonal changes more than the holiday itself, but I do love eating Halloween candy! lol

I can't get them all in one photo since they are spread out across the front of my yard.

Now that really tells how everybody around the world is suffering from this economic downfall.
We don't really celebrate halloween so decorations aren't a big thing here and we only see them in toy stores and not in the home decor shops.

Has the economy been pretty rough in your country? Things are rough here. Not bad, but rough.

Oh nice, your discounts started early. I didn't start seeing 50% off discounts until yesterday, so our local stores were trying to wait as long as possible for taking the markdowns.

My relatives are waiting for the markdown due to money being tight due to the economy conditions.

I think that's what everyone is doing. It's a tough economy right now, even if we aren't in a recession.

I checked the store again tonight, there is still plenty in stock. I will go back to the store first thing tomorrow morning when they open and buy them.

I am glad you can go tomorrow to get them as who wouldn’t want 75% off? The sad part of that is that times are so difficult for so many people. In better times, they would have been sold out.
My neighbor had two pumpkins by each side of her porch, a cute display with cornstalks, etc. last night raccoons decided they could no longer wait for Halloween to be over, and this morning she discovered four raccoons had destroyed and eaten her pumpkins. She caught them on her door camera. Of course they made a huge mess, so she was out this morning cleaning the porch. But hey, at least the pumpkins didn’t go to waste!

I am usually at the caravan this week so I don’t usually decorate the house. I will get some decorations in the sale afterwards….ready for next year.

I do that a lot too, where I'll wait until all the good sales after the holiday and then stock up for next year.

That will be tomorrow morning. And early (as soon as the stores open). We're heading to Disney World right after that.
