Easter is just 2 months away!

Posted by Markus Langenfeld - 02/14/07 at 11:02:16 am

I was at our local Wal-Mart Supercenter last night, doing my normal shopping thing and I came across a nearly empty isle in the grocery area, or ‘Food Center’ as they call it. This isle is the “Seasonal Grocery” section, where they normally have candy and food related to the upcoming holiday, or they have items that run along with the current season in general, such as chips and soda for the big game or whatever.

Now I know I’ve went on about retail stores and their ridiculous hyping and overselling of products for holidays by putting the products out super early, but I think what I witnessed last night took the cake. The reason I say this is because this isle was formally dedicated to Valentine’s Day items, it has been for months.

I took a photo with my phone quick so you could see the kicker here is that THE DAY BEFORE Valentine’s Day they take down the Valentine’s items and start stocking candy for Easter. Which I may remind you, happens on April 8th this year. So they take down the items for the holiday that is happening the next day, to stock items for a holiday that’s nearly 2 months away.

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Or should I say Happy Easter :)
