Today I went in to Target and they have several isles lined in orange paper with all the SHELVING TAGS UP! Although the spots are empty each tag has the item and price of whats to be put there. A couple isles were started ; lighting and candy carriers.
YAY!!!

YIPPEE!!! Those are great indicators that hopefully we'l have some Halloween items on the shelves within the next few weeks! Last year I kept walking back to the seasonal decor section in our Target, only to be continually disappointed by back to school supplies. Here's hoping they move the school supplies out earlier than they did last year...

Laurie: "Was that the boogeyman?"
Dr. Loomis: "As a matter of fact...that was."

I sincerely believe more will be put out each day now!

I'm hoping they have out tomorrow by me, I'm just going there to check tomorrow. I was there on Friday and it was still all back to school, nothing even cleared out. School has been back for a week or 2 now so I don't know what their deal is here.

I think Target by far has the best stuff for halloween out of all the big-box stores. I went in there today to get the new candy corn Kisses. However, they were not in stock, but they were putting out halloween stuff in the candy and mini seasonal section. They had some cool cocktail mixes as well as some shot glasses and molds for your drinks(hands and eyeballs)!!! I previwed their new halloween on their website and was impressed( search for halloween). A team member said they would be getting the rest of their candy tomorrow.

I miss my Target discount greatly and am trying to stay out of there for fear my Target Visa will go over limit!

Yeah, it's the same here. School has been back in for 3 weeks now but they still had the back to school stuff out when I was there on Saturday. I'm hoping that they were just waiting for Labor Day. I'm excited to see what they'll have in their $1 - $2.50 section this year!

I worked at Wally World for 12 years. Their directions from Home Office is that back to school is not to be taken down until the weekend following back to school day. That's because so many areas have teachers that send supply lists home with the kids, and they don't hand out the list until the first day of class. Then it usually takes until the weekend for a lot of parents to get a chance to go fill the list. Unless they've changed that rule since I left there in 2001 that's why our Wal-Mart (and Target I'm sure too) is still Back To School.

I had always guessed that.

Makes sense, but I don't care I want my Halloween LOL

Went again yesterday and they still had all the back to school out, but there was a promising sign of removal....they had lots of staff over there with boxes and carts to pack it up....I'll give them till the weekend.

Ya' know, I just love this thread and the Wallyworld thread. See, I'm a stalker. A Halloween aisle stalker, that is. And reading about you guys checking these stores every day or so makes me realize that I am not alone in my "Halloween stalking".

Just knowing that there are others out there that cause store clerks to get nervous as we repeatedly circle those unpacked Halloween boxes and shoot them the "when the hell are you going to open this????" look ... well, just somehow makes me feel ... dare I say ... safer? LOL!
