Friday I stopped in at the Family Dollar Store to pick something up on my way to the Flea Market. I just happened to walk down an aisle and stop in my tracks. They had Halloween candy out! August 2nd and they are getting ready for the Trick or Treat holiday already! My, oh My! I was good and did not let the temptation get me and left without any candy! It would have melted in the car anyway since I was headed to the Flea Market. Have you noticed any Halloween candy out in stores in your area yet? Photo Credit: My Own

Not yet. But I am sure it is coming soon. I don't think it will be long before Christmas displays are up as well.

@kareng Very much so. Regretfully, I imagine when the weather starts to turn, it'll be quick.

The candy never seems to leave our stores, so I never notice. The only time I notice is around Easter when the Cadbery eggs come out.

It's all a commercial gimmick to get us to buy, buy, buy!

I think they are playing a game to see just how early they can get in more sales! It seems like every year it is a few days earlier than the year before!

That is what I said! I was going to pick up some small snack size bars, but was going to the flea market so told the clerk to not ring those up--they would just melt.

@kareng You are right, it is so hot that we must be careful what we buy and store at home.

It's in the triple digits here!! Can't think of buying candy. It would be melted by the time you got home with it!!

It wouldn't post because it is in a weird format. I don't understand what happened to it because I took it with my camera. Oh well. Just candy on the shelf in the store!

I like candy corn, but that is about it for what is actually Halloween candy. I prefer regular candy.

I didn't go on the candy aisle, but I did notice that they had some Halloween jewelry at Walmart.

I haven't seen it here yet but no doubt it won't be too much longer before the shops are stocking it.

I don't get out to the stores; but I know they start early to tempt you and increase sales. Have a good day.

A friend went to Dollar General today, she said they have out a lot of Halloween stuff, pumpkin everything, candy corn...and it lacks 4 days being 3 months until Halloween. Why can't we wait, to put this stuff out and to just not do that with every holiday. Ugh.
