    Fun fact: in Danish, July is called Juli, which when split into to words is jul i, which in turn means Christmas in.

        They have a nice assortment of advent calendars out right now. Some candy ones, some booze ones.

          I read the first word as “I” instead of “They”. I thought you were saying you had a coffee table or something in your house with a bunch of candy calanders, and calanders with alcohol. Which I wasn’t sure how that would work. It’s not like you can open the flap for the 3rd, and pull out a 12 pack of beer.

          So my assumption is you open the flap, and it just says “Get drunk”.

          So I’m just over here thinking you’re a diabetic alcoholic.

      Honestly it was before a month ago, probably 6-8 weeks ago I saw the first Halloween stuff there. Then it’ll all be completely gone by the end of September and they’ll spend the entire month of October celebrating Christmas

      Ugh so cute. Costco, I guess I’m coming. Omg and a eight pack for 17?? Actually amazing. Although they are the small boys.

    I’ve heard of Christmas in July before. Seriously. Might be capitalizing on that.

    At least it doesn’t look like chocolate stuff, always great to get those turning white because they baked in mid summer heat.

    Eh. It’s Costco. They’re going to have shorts and swimsuits in store by the start of January.

    Last year, about this time or even earlier, a supermarket in a major city here suddenly had a wealth of Chrismas products (mostly sweets) on offer. Of course, people wondered, and it turned out that the supermarket chain had been shooting pictures for their Christmas campaign near that location, and instead of throwing the stuff away, they simply sold them off.

    I like so many things about Costco, but they absolutely go batshit insane with the timing on their holiday items.
