Went into (B)Lowes the other day looking for a box fan for the neighbor...They are already cleared out for the season!

The end cap where they USED to be is now filled with electric heaters!! istols:

It's mid August and still flirting with 100s at least once a week....

And we have HEATERS in stock!!!!!

Side note I see the Seasonal area is cleared out.......I expect Christmas stuff to be showing up before Spetember first.......I SERIOUSLY hope I am wrong!

They had some Halloween stuff set up today at our Lowes.

I was confused to say the least. I'm looking for router bits and machine screws and the first thing I see when I walk in the door are two Halloween lawn decorations.

Halloween i can take, but not Christmas stuff. I agree, it's still way into the 90s here, i want Ac and fan supplies on the shelf until that changes. So in my neck of the woods, Oct/Nov. As for holiday stuff, one month advance only. So Halloween on Sep 1, Thanksgiving by Oct 1 and Christmas by Nov 1.

I have noticed that retail chains keep moving back the arrival dates of the holiday stuff. Maybe, just maybe, in a few more years it will have moved back far enough to be in sinc again with the actual seasons!

I trust you complained to the manager and refused to buy anything else at the store. If they get some feedback, maybe, just mayyybe...

I took my son for school supplies at Target the first week in August. By law public schools here don't start until after Labor Day, but he wanted to get there while the selection was decent. Wise lad. The area was jammed with people loading up on notebooks, backpacks, pens, etc. I suspect by September it will either be completely picked over, or cleared out for (more) Halloween stuff.
