Okay, now I know it’s in the retailer’s best interest to get a jump on the competition, and as for the holidays, well, stores are getting an earlier and earlier start every year on when they put out their seasonal displays, that’s true. But come on people! This is getting freakin’ ridiculous!
So, yeah, this is the seasonal display at my local grocery store.
Trick or Treat anyone? Who cares if it’s 110 degrees out? Or I don’t know, that it’s July!?
I thought it was supposed to be “Christmas in July?” Not this “Halloween in July” bullshit.
Musings from a Tangled Mind 
Oh, goodie, a Hershey’s bar in the Halloween bucket manufactured in January! Good call on this one, Wendy.
Halloween candy never fares well in my house, regardless of when it’s bought. LOL
so, how much chocolate did you buy?
Oh now come on! What makes you think I would stoop so low as to buy Halloween candy in July? July of all months!? I mean what kind of chocolate fueled maniac do you take me for?
…..just three bags.
Oooooo! a woman with chocolate sated eyes. 😉
It is getting strange.
I imagine Christmas stuff will be out by the end of August.
I heard Christmas carols on the radio last weekend. It is was a Christmas in July kind of thing.
Now see, THAT makes sense. It’s always been a thing. Hallmark does a special on their channel with romantic Christmas movies all month and nonprofits do fundraising around it for homeless shelters, animal shelters, etc. But people know it’s not really meant to be true Christmas shopping. Not this Halloween stuff I saw. But hey, it didn’t stop me from buying the candy (and eating it). Or from going back to buy more. 😀 So I guess their evil marketing plan worked. LOL
lol
It worked. 💛😃
That candy will all be spoiled by the time the end of October rolls around.
You seriously overestimate how long that candy will last in my household…oh wait, you mean the candy in the store. Oh, of course you do, ahem, right.
Seriously, SERIOUSLY…. seriously 😒 have you polished off your three bags by now? 😉
No! Of course I haven’t! I mean, good gracious what do you take me for, a chocolate eating maniac!?
…okay fine, yes, I ate all three bags…and the other two bags I went back for since then…
Lol… good girl 😘
