Thread: First Halloween sighting in stores...

Tweet

Sings "it's the most wonderful time of the year..." I can't wait to see the fall/Halloween stuff out at Michael's. That seems to be my home away from home come Halloween time. Last year I think I went almost every week with a coupon. Got almost all our Spookytown stuff with coupons last year. Like someone else said, once the countdown is 99 days away, out goes our countdown sign in the front yard.

My sister-in-law works there and she said they are getting their HALLOWEEN TRUCK in on WEDNESDAY, and it should all be on the shelves by Thursday, Friday if the Store is behind. (Her particular store is already ready and waiting, so they'll have it all up by Thursday). So get ready for an Awesome 4th of July Weekend because Michael's will be Ready for Halloween for All us freaks!!!

*Don't forget your coupons!!*

Woooo hooooo!!

WOOO HOOO... It's about time!!!

beep beep!! Just went to Garden Ridge last night, felt it was calling me but not sure why. Low and behold, they had Halloween stuff out!!!!!!...! Only inflatables and a few other things but they were clearly getting ready!

Just prior to GR we were at Kohl's, I kept picking up Fall'y type items and my daughter argues "Mom, Summer just started a week ago" to which I replied with "Summer's OVER, dear daughter, OVER!"

there goes this paycheck.....muahahahahahahaaha

Hey Stranger, would that be the Garden Ridge off Bryant Irvin? Ooh - I hope so! That's the closest one to me.

Yes, it is!! I didn't even see them at first, but as soon as we walked in my daughter grabbed my arm and said "MOM, LOOK!!" I almost died with the stupidest smile on my face.

ok here i go again , feeling jealous of all you lucky people getting halloween stuff out so early , i love this merchandise watch thread every year

if you guys with garden ridge stores have a sighthing of the large feathered crows out in stores pm me please to let me know their out i need a few and will ask a friend to pick some up for me

I'm not a big fan of Michaels (no foggers or fog juice at mine or much of anything but tiny props for indoors of which I have no use for) but Garden Ridge rocks and I can't wait......I'll be sure to take lots of pics like last year and post them here. I prefer large props and outdoor decor of which GR will have the biggest selection. WHOO-HOO

Yea at the Michaels near me, there are fog machines/fog juice. There are also cool mantel pieces, I have also made fall wreathes that come out awesome. I did an all black rose wreath once that looked awesome. There was also a headless bride. I think Michaels bases it on how well Halloween items sell in a specific area. I think if your town doesn't do well in Halloween sales - they don't sell much in that store. I too tend to only buy little things from michaels - I tend to order alot of stuff online.
