I went to Walgreens today to get some milk. I saw that they had some fall decorations out.. so I poked my head down the aisle...nothing, but I did look down the candy aisle...and there were about a dozen football jack-o-lanterns, some cute ghosts and scarecrow figures, and some small tombstones on the top shelf...

looks like their gearing up too...I didn't have my camera on me, but maybe tomorrow...

But maybe? Lol it's a must (if you don't want hallow-weiners bighting at your neck. I wasn't impressed with walgreens last year. There prices went up. Just imagine how much they'll be this year with all the truck drivers and such.

They're almost finished building a Walgreen's in our little town. If they finish in time, It will be fun just to see what they have even if I don't buy anything. My son and I like to look at the Halloween stuff in the stores, although we usually don't buy anything. Last year we had to go out of town to look.

Hey, I LOVE Walgreens for Halloween stuff! The ones in my area put out more than Wally-Mart (yuck) and have some pretty nifty things. You can always count on them to have large tombstones for cheap, lots of different lights and tons of small stuff that I just HAVE to have.

I was just in one this morning, and they had nothing out. But they don't have the overhead storage shelves like some of the stores do, so they may have it all in the back room.

School starts back here around August 25, so I'm going to be waiting impatiently for the stores to start putting stuff out!

Wow that's a late start on school for your hometown. Our kids go back August 18th. Which is like a week before. Hehehahanana. :p

Mine has an aisle full of discounted summer stuff, and school stuff on the other side. Every time I walk by I think "hurry up and sell that crap so we can move on!!"

IME, Walgreens gets some pretty good stuff in, unique anyway.

I bought a TON of stuff at Walgreens 75% off after Halloweeen last year. Lot's of makeup for a quarter each and a huge hanging pirate for 5 bucks and some other stuff. They had some cool things. I hope to go back after this year's Halloween and get more goodies. My wife likes it when I buy stuff AFTER the holiday! :)

I would agree fully with you on the wal-yuck. ever since they were not allowed to put a super-store in our area, it's like they sell cheap doller store stuff for holidays. the walgreens always has things you can't get at wal-mart.

I went to Walgreens. Just candy and fall stuff. I went to another Walgreens. I did not see any fall stuff. Just Halloween candy.

Sorry Haunted Host...I am gonna have to take a picture of the one here in town that actually does have some stuff out already... but the other 3 or 4 close to me don't...I can't figure it out,.

I so hope one of our walgreens gets those MM masks in. Dh is going as that, and they actually look pretty good compared to some of the "cheaper" MM masks I've seen online. A little work and it's definitely useable, but it's kind of up to DH. :rolleyes:

I've scored some pretty unique stuff at Walgreens. No one ever thinks to look there in our neighborhood because they all head over to Target and Wal-mart.
I KNOW! I freaking love walgreens just because they have such a great assortment of stuff for such a small store. I ALWAYS end up finding stuff there that you don't see anywhere else.

Yesterday my walgreens had a *few* things out. They were all up the school aisle on the highest shelf so I couldn't get exact details but they had some new stuff! I saw one Donna the Dead something or other. A couple grave breakers and stuff like that. I love the prices there, everything is VERY reasonable, even the grave breaker figures were ten bucks. This year they have a BLACK four foot tree with orange lighting for 19.99....*thinking*

walgreens

All mine had out yesterday were some paper plates and napkins( Halloween)


They had an end cap with fall items

and Brach's Halloween candy!

I just had to pick up some Carmel apple candy corn to get me in the mood.

and I prefer it over the reg. candy corn.

I bought that candy corn last week and it was really good! My kid killed the bag quickly though. Last night I picked up the chocolate candy corn, it was good, but not as good as the apple.

Mine had some fun stuff. they had the animated skeleton's hand candy bowl thats at Michaels, some new ground breakers, a witch and a Frankenstein head lifter (like Head lifter Harry or whatever his name was), and little miniature animated freddys and jasons. Much like the Chucky they had last year. They also had the lighted black tree mentioned before and some other nifty lighted stuff. Nothing big out yet, sadly.

Couldn't really get a hold of anything, as I was in a hurry.
