The AFC has come out on top except for the Bills/Eagles which the Bills should have won. eagles beat miami and the chiefs (in kc) as well, and let's be honest, the eagles sorta suck so not sure where you are going with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to both today looking for deals on lights for next year, 98% already picked thru or gone, and gardening stuff was rapidly being pushed into the empty shelves that held Christmas stuff just a day or two ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowes was done with Christmas last week! But I went to Walmart yesterday morning and got a bunch of lights for 50% off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I always think it's funny how the consumer moans about the timing of holiday merchandise getting put out but starts buying it as soon as it's out. Trust me no retailer is going to waste valuable merchandising space for something that won't move.

Enjoy your Valentine's and Easter and passover stuff Well I certainly don’t want to buy Easter stuff now. I was frustrated this holiday season with craft stores as most of them down here had already sold out of Christmas stuff we needed by mid-December, and were stocking Valentine’s stuff. The new thing seems to be that we have to buy Christmas stuff around Labor Day I guess lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs alot of money to mark stuff down so as little as possible is best thus going out early to run down or out just prior to the holiday...it's all a game trying to figure how much to order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you want to buy a kit, construct it, assemble it, paint it, wrap it, hang it and/or send it...you have to start in August. Ask any Girl Scout leader. An inflatable Minion with Santa hat from Home Depot...that's a different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Baltimore favored at home by 3 against Miami? Geez. I feel like we are dominating teams: I think they have had the lead like 92% of the time all year (SF, DET, SEA, JAX, CLE, LA, CIN, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs alot of money to mark stuff down so as little as possible is best thus going out early to run down or out just prior to the holiday...it's all a game trying to figure how much to order And that's the problem for the consumer. I don't want to start buying Christmas decor before Halloween; however, if you wait you may not get what you need. Case in point, last year I found a cool snowflake projector at Lowe's. So I bought one and took it home to set it up in the dark to see if I actually liked it. If I did, I was going to buy another for the other side of the house. Mind you, this was just before Thanksgiving. Turned out that I liked the projector, but it took me a couple days to get back to Lowe's since I lived 25 minutes away at the time. When I went back the day before Thanksgiving to get a second projector, they were sold out. Couldn't even get it online. The associate helped for 30 minutes trying to locate one. Ultimately, we found one at Woodstock, which was about 50 minutes drive from my house. I called and purchased immediately and drove there to pick it up. I don't think most consumers want to start purchasing holiday items 2 months, or more, in advance. However, we're being conditioned that we must quickly buy any items we want because it may very well not be there when you want it. Stores do not restock any items that sell out, I assume for fear of having to mark anything down post-holiday. I get it. But it's fucking frustrating and depressing going into stores in mid December to find empty shelves and BBQ grills and patio furniture taking over the Christmas section. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
