Thread: Target halloween

Is it me or did Target have a lousy selection this year of Halloween props etc. they usually have videos a bunch of kid theme stuff and some decent low cost props.

Target has gone downhill over the past few years IMO. I scored a pair of nice gargoyles this year but they had littl else except the usual tableware and costumes. Sadly, a trend with other retailers that used to have a decent Halloween selection too.

Agreed. I went to Target at 8:30 am tuesday morning and the only good stuff they had was a few fog timers and some Funkin type pumpkins. I ended up getting several kitchen/house type items for our house and like 2 things for myself.

I went to WalMart, Walgreens, Kmart all the same morning and they all stunk. Absolutely nothing worth buying....It was a little disappointing. We were at Big Lots over the weekend and they really had nothing special either.....

Yeah, the only thing I got from Target this year was a black light spotlight. Everything else was more of the same as they've had for the past few years. Hope things turn around next year.

Yea they all dropped the ball this year big time. Big lots usually a good place but not this year./

I wasn't that impressed this time around, either. They had a few items that I had to have, but I mainly picked them up on clearance just a couple of days before Halloween, since I couldn't see paying full-price. IMO, most places were a bit disappointing this year, honestly.

The only thing I had to have was the skeleton salad servers, and I bought those regular price since I wanted to actually use them this year. They had a bubble fogger left for clearance, but refused to sell it to me because it had a red sticker on it that meant it had "been to guest services" either as defective or a return. It was a return - unused - and I got to the register and they told me I couldn't have it

It's a bit late for this year's clearance, but if you do find something, or find something after Christmas, etc, double check it for any red tags and pull them off!! When I called corporate to complain they basically admitted that would have worked unless it's a serial-tracked item (i.e. GoPhones).

I bought those, too. Mine are the smoky-colored, plastic ones. Great minds think alike

*Raises hand* Me, um, three! I was happy to find them there because they were far more reasonable than similar ones at places like Pottery Barn.

Otherwise, I bought a couple of candles, and the husband picked up a couple of craft pumpkins (better price than Michael's that particular week), Overall, Target was pretty weak this year. For better or worse, we usually spend a lot more money there.

To me it was the worse of the lack of halloween among all the retailers.
