Thread: Any stores in your area have Halloween stuff out yet?

Tweet

Just wondering if anyone has seen any Halloween goodies out in the stores yet? Right before my birthday each year I get so excited about Halloween. I start my prep right about this time each year. I can't wait to get my shopping on!

Not yet. I called Party City and said probably not til August. Michaels does have stickers though. Waiting sucks!!!

Michaels in my area gets the good stuff out in early August. You gotta scope it out early though 'cause in mid Aug they'll put Halloween mdse on sale (10% off maybe) and then you cant use the 50%off regular price coupon anymore.

I was in Joann Fabrics yesterday and did notice they had autumn stuff, which got me pretty excited!

I look for Halloween stuff with mixed emotions. On one hand I want to see Halloween stuff put out so badly cause I want to see what's new. ON THE OTHER HAND: I dread seeing it cause I know when I do It's getting close and I don't have stuff done yet. I'm already nervous cause the back-to-school stuff is going out and around here when that stuff comes down Halloween goes up.

I've only been able to find some crows and pumpkins (not JOL) at Michaels right now. What I've been told is that the Halloween stuff won't start being put out until the end of July.

I haven't seen any yet and I'm fine with it really. I can't wait for it but I like for it to be at least close to that time of the year. It's just way to early for me. Seems like the try to rush each holiday a little more each year. I'm so tired of it. Shopping for Halloween stuff when it's 90+ outside just doesn't suite me.

I'm the same way. This heat zaps my motivation.
