First Halloween sighting in stores...

**BooBerrie** · 06-20-2009,03:01 PM

I can't wait to go to Michaels on Monday (with my 40% off coupon) and see if they've started putting their stuff out.

I saw this thread and figured it was an old thread, but maybe someone had posted a comment and bumped it up, and then I read the post date (instant big goofy smile) wooohooo!

I went to michaels, with 50% off coupon in hand, and bought a crow. I've been wanting one for my graveyard.

I went to hobby lobby earlier this week and today, there's no xmas stuff, just fall.

In regards, to some of the convo about getting rid of all the other holidays....NOOOOO! I am an avid decorator for every holiday. Granted, most holidays are not near the grand scale of halloween and christmas, but i put out stuff for every single one. My christmas is almost as big or just as big as my halloween. Halloween is still my favorite though. I love holidays. And i love decorating for them. Must be the kid in me.

Thanks for the heads up! I went to Michaels with 2 50% off'ers, bought a crow, went back in line and bought a pack of 6 LED tealight candles...all for $11!

I just got back from Hobby Lobby here and Christmas stuff is hitting the shelves...
they have their "harvest" stuff out too.

But, most importantly, their garden stuff is on clearance, so if you are looking for crosses to embellish your tombstones or some "statues" of angels/cherubs the price is right. They also had some that were life size women's busts, no not those busts, for about $11.99

It will soon be time to hit my 2 favorite mega-size super stores Old Time Pottery and Garden Ridge (just do a search under those names from last year and you see the amount of nice mechandise they carry,they are worth the trip for an early fix ) early next month. These 2 stores have the early kick off to the shopping season with GR being the best experience of them all.Oh and another super sized store to keep an eye out for early inventory is The Flower Factory too, I just got my membership there. Can't wait......>>>>>
