      It looks like hobby lobby. That’s how they always price their shit.I went there with my wife to find a bookshelf she wanted and I noticed a little sign in the furniture section that “furniture is always 30% off” and wondered why they don’t just lower the price by 30%.

        I thought that there have been legal issues with this behaviour.

        You see a Christmas tree for $40 $25 now it’s an impulse purchase. Just listing it for $25, it’s not a hot deal.

    I found Thanksgiving in a grocery store or two the other week, but wow. It’s a weird feeling to see it and then think the stuff in between somehow matters less. Maybe others don’t have that thought. It’s just depressing to see, or, mildly infuriating.

      The only good thing about this early jump start in holidays is the food. You will start seeing stuffing mix, pumpkin pie, egg nog, and other holiday foods in the grocery store soon.

    Home Depot and Lowes have Halloween decorations in already, but that’s almost kind of reasonable. Ish.

    Having Christmas stuff in August is just absurd, unless it’s one of those dedicated Christmas stores that’s open year-round for some reason. (Do those still exist? The only two I knew of near me either went out of business or became online-only years ago.)

    JFC even Michael’s (which is a crafting store) doesn’t have their Christmas stuff out yet! And if you’re hand-crafting Christmas gifts for the whole family, sooner is better than later to start lol
