Why do they have Halloween stuff out already?

[Getinonthis]

Everyone is looking to make a buck, while shoppers are looking for ways to save, nevertheless there needs to be some control.

Yeah I used to work in a big grocery store as a receiver and had this holiday stuff come in months before that one day and took up a lot of space in my backroom which made working very difficult

Ugghh!  I went to a couple stores today and two of them already had Halloween stuff out.  I hate that.  I feel like they are trying to rush my life away.  September fine but not July!

Because in a couple of weeks, they will have all the Christmas stuff out.  The Holidays are just commercial to entice people to buy early and spend more money.  There is no goodness or emotion in the Holidays.  Greed pours out.

I have not seen any yet, but I am sure by late August stuff will be in the stores as end of summer sales are on now and by September we will probably see Thanksgivings stuff.

Already? It's way too soon for that. I guess they're just trying to get the seasonal isle filled up.

Because at the beginning of August, they will have all the Christmas stuff out.  Commercializing Greed.

I know is that crazy or what?  I mean it just is the beginning of August so it is almost a full three months until Halloween.  It is just insane to me.

Crazy! it seems to get earlier every year!! LOL! not really, but it is crazy, how they run the holidays together!

It's all about the $$$$$.  Get product out early and sell as much as possible.  Halloween is only once a year.

I guess they are trying to make all the money they can. I guess the earlier they put stuff out the sooner you can buy it and you don't have to worry about it later.

omg,,relly,,i havent seen that yet..........

[gaby_ro_2004]

I didn't see in the store

Being my favorite holiday, Halloween is the one holiday where seeing merch early is exciting instead of annoying. But I agree it is almost kind of too early for me to enjoy it properly, especially since by the time I consider it "just right" it'll be long gone and on to the Christmas stuff. It's getting where you can't find anything when you do want to buy for the current season!

Which would means people buy stuff this early. You can call it greed, but it really is just giving the consumer what they want.

It's all about business.... don't they start having Xmas stuff out immediately after Halloween? They just prepare on time... make sure they brainwash you ahead of time... so that you WILL purchase something eventually.
