Only 156 Shopping Days Left!
Way to go, Costco. Yuck.
Font looks like Sam’s, and I saw similar Christmas stuff there recently
You probably did and that’s probably a standard font.
Fun fact: in Danish, July is called Juli, which when split into to words is jul i, which in turn means Christmas in.
So it sounds like saying “Christmas in christmas in”?
Yeah, “Christmas in July” in Danish would be “jul i juli” 😁
Costco had Halloween out a month ago
Does Costco sell calanders? Because I think Costco needs a calander.
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.
Not a calendar or clock in sight.
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
I was there today, and most of the Halloween stuff was gone.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go buy stuff like a good little consumer!
Tbh those peppermint squishmallows are adorable, though.
Ugh so cute. Costco, I guess I’m coming. Omg and a eight pack for 17?? Actually amazing. Although they are the small boys.
Eh. It’s Costco. They’re going to have shorts and swimsuits in store by the start of January.
Swim wear is useful at that time of year if you’re travelling to a country in the southern hemisphere.
That’s not why Costco is doing it though. The crowd they’re catering to buys things in advance of when they need it, rather than just-in-time, and usually well before the actual seasons for thing.
Oh do fuck off. It’s nowhere near time, we’ve not even had bonfire night yet.
Pshh, my place was already putting up trees in June.
It’s Christmas in July, duh. They even made a movie.
All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance…
Well… maybe. My response was mostly tongue-in-cheek… it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Costco was just selling Christmas kitsch in July with no other considerations.
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.
hahahahaha
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.
Last year the supermarket I work for got our hot cross buns in ready for Easter, 3 weeks before Christmas day.
