Thread: On a Walmart run today... 12 stores...will post what I see.

Tweet

Walmart sets "our" section of the store 2x per year, and I go out to see that it is set properly, etc...
They have different sets based on size and demographics, so I get to make a huge Walmart tour.

I have only seen scant sightings of HW stuff so far, but they were re-hanging shelves and had the Plan-o-gram printouts in the last store.

Will post either here or in the main thread, but I fear the general "sightings" thread is too long.

Looking forward to hearing your report!
I checked out 3 locations over the week-end - unopened boxes in one, nothing in the other two. Are they starting later this year, or am I growing more impatient in my old age?

ours had the Candy Aisle up.... in groceries....no HAlloween just autmn/fall stuff..that was as of today here in central Florida

Very disappointing, folks...

Most stores have nothing up, a couple have started making way and 2 stores had most of the section up.

There are approximately 100 feet of costumes and 80 feet of decor stuff out. The decor is very much recycled... sigh.... tombstones, foggers, fencing, etc... all the same stuff from years past. Even the wall clings are the same.

The only thing really jumping out is that all the lights are LED. 25 ct strings are $3.50 and 50 ct strings are $7.00. Pumpkin lights are all LED now... pumpkin stencils looked like the same sets as before.

I'm waiting for that hopefully additional 20 feet of props to show up...

Even at Target, most of the stuff is recycled. Maybe not from Target last year, but from other retailers now showing up at Target. The lighting strings are pretty cool and get more advanced...and MORE EXPENSIVE.

Will be out more this week... hopefully something worth photographing...

I was extremely disappointed by Walmart last year. Really hoping it's back this year. They had no setups here last year, just candy all over and a few decorations.

i was wondering the same thing, if they're all setting up later this year or if i'm just to excited and to impatient.

Went to my local wallyworld last night and they had costumes, costumes and more costumes. No props at all. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Walmart and Target last night....left emptihanded. Pretty much the same stuff as last year. I'll go back and get a few of the 3ft skelies for $10 at Walmart but nothing else is calling to me this year.

It does feel late this year. Back to school was over a while ago and after that then the orange and black comes out in stores

Nothing at the Walmart by me on Wed. The Target looked pretty sad but not much was out yet.

The reason it feels late is because Labor Day is a week later this year than last year, so these stores are putting stuff out later Halloween wise because of that.

For the LED lights what type are they?

Are they like this style, and do they come in purple? I don't like the other LED lights that are really small.
