Summer officially began on June 20th, but at least as far as one retailer is concerned, summer is apparently over — less than two weeks later!
Yesterday we went to Meijer and were greeted with this sign in the entryway:
Well, if you’re looking for deals on patio gear, you can check them out at Meijer… everything’s on sale, and we spotted deals on patio items ranging from 20-50% off. For what it’s worth, I good-naturedly disagree with their assessment that we’re already at the end of the summer season– you’ve got plenty of time to enjoy your outdoor furniture. :)
I wonder how quickly we’ll see the patio aisles replaced by snow shovels, ice scrapers and bags of salt?

This is the same store that a few years ago waited until after Hanukkah was half over to put out their Hanukkah merchandise…

The store I was in, was putting out back to school items. Think kids are going to invest in that now?
Theresa says
Back to school sales start in July so have to make room and clear summer merchandise I guess.
