I went to 5 stores today, looking for fall/Thanksgiving things. It was so disappointing! I found Halloween stuff on clearance, and aisles and aisles of Christmas decor. I love Christmas, but I also like decorating for fall, and there seems to be less and less available every year. Am I just looking in the wrong places? I went to Michaels, Target, Ross, Marshalls, and Pier 1. Out of all the stores, Pier 1 had the most, but it was by far the most expensive. Where are you guys finding fall stuff?

WalMart has a lot.
Kohl's.

leith78 · 10-19-2012, 08:10 PM

I'll try Kohls. We don't have a WalMart. Thanks for the tip, Nancy!

The stores near me are carrying less Fall/Thanksgiving items as well. Walmart has a bunch of things.

Meriweather · 10-19-2012, 08:33 PM

Your Target didn't have anything in the dollar spot? Ours has some cute things. I think I got a couple things there.
Joann's had some things too.

Target did have a few things, but it was pretty picked over, and most of it was Halloween. I didn't try Joann's. I used to just go to Hobby Lobby, which I loved! There isn't one close to me anymore, though. I'm sure I'll find some cute things. I just need to keep shopping!

Meriweather · 10-19-2012, 10:09 PM

Well, shopping is fun

My sister just received her box from Nancy. She says thank you soooo much! It was fun watching her opening it. Her eyes were huge when she saw the Lindt truffles.
She also received fall leaves, fall dish clothes and towel, Thanksgiving cookie cutters, cupcake holders, a pumpkin candle, some lotion, gourd salt and pepper shakers, Thanksgiving table runner, and so many extras

Meriweather · 10-20-2012, 11:55 AM

Glad to hear it arrived

Hope the Lindt is alright. They get rather "squshy" here.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

mommytotwo · 10-20-2012, 02:14 PM

an arrival!

figmentswife · 10-20-2012, 02:37 PM

I am out now looking and WOW. The lack of fall/thanksgiving stuff is amazing. I am at my 3rd store. My person will be getting a hodgepodge of stuff. I hope happens to go with a theme but that is not going to happen

Belle is fine, now, thank you! The great thing was that she ate the candies whole! When they got her to upchuck, they came out still wrapped!!!! That was a blessing.

So, now, I'm back to going to shop for some fall/Thanksgiving things. She got into everything. Our grocery store, Krogers seems to have fall things as well as Halloween things.
