First sighting of Halloween

[EMCE Hammer]

With the demise of Party City, Joann, and Big Lots I'm a little bummed about the prospects for Halloween decorations this year. I was at Dollar Tree getting some poster board on Wednesday, and came across their first offerings. I'll be haunting them more often now. You all know I have a thing for ceramic trees, this one came home with me. $5

Never too early for Halloween stuff. I always look forward to the first Monster cereals sightings.

My daughter sent me pics of a new skeleton treat pail at a nearby Walmart. Does my soul good to know Halloween is coming!

I just found out Big Lots came back and there are three under twenty miles from me. I should probably buy a lotto ticket.

One of the thrifts I go to has some Fall/Halloween type stuff out on the sales floor. (Some Winter/Christmas stuff too, though that's probably for the 'Christmas in July' shoppers...)

I actually saw some Halloween stuff at Wal Mart the other day. I have accidentally turned into a Halloween blow mold collector and try to add one every year. Huge yes to the monster cereals too!

Love seeing Hallowe'en stuff--merchandizing seems earlier this year.

One of my grails is the Telco classic Phantom of the Opera.

Had to look that up - that’s pretty awesome!

Just take a stroll in a Cracker Barrel and you'll see all types of Halloween stuff. I was in one probably at the first of July and a witches broom was following me around in the shop in the front, kind of like a roomba.

Halloween is in full force around here: Walmart has stuff out, and a Halloween candy display greets you on the way in, the thrifts are full of Fall & Halloween decor/items, and Spirit Halloween store has set up shop... I haven't checked Target out lately, but I'd imagine they're getting in on the action as well...

Walmart's about to roll out a ton of Halloween stuff. I just filled a whole trailer with the stuff.

Very cool! I've been watching for Halloween stuff to appear. I watch for Parks and Cons to post awesome costumes. I started getting Reese's pumpkins...

Me too, and it is pretty awesome.

Home Goods already has their Halloween stuff out.

Really surprsied MORE stores don't have their full Halloween stock out yet. Marshall's had a ton of neat Halloween stuff at the store we stopped by yesterday. The 5 foot tall, articulated skeletons seem to have been ordered in abundance this year, but they will still probably sell out way before we get into October.
