Summer stuff is quickly disappearing

[Mariposa]

Is it my imagination, or has all the summer stuff been put in the stores really early this year? And why did we see so many sales already way before summer even arrived? At this rate there will be slim pickins for the summer closeout sales.

I agree with you Mariposa!!!. Down here summer stuff came out on sale in February!. All I did was start buying early for my cruise so that I would be prepared. I know that it is so hard to find for example, flip flops later on....

Hi Mariposa
Its the same here. I guess it goes for everything now. Easter eggs after xmas, summer clothes in March, and by August, its winter coats.

I put shorts on for the first time today.

We haven't even had summer yet. It is true though all the Fall clothes are out in July.

Patgo, I wouldn't say that fall clothes are coming out in July, it's just that you see summer things dissapearing. I don't know if its that people buy too much of it, or if the stores just stop selling them and move on to another line, more fall like clothes!!. Anywayz it really bothers me, but down here in Miami, its 92 degrees!!!

I could hardly believe my eyes yesterday. We got the Sears Fall and Winter catalogue delivered. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] And I haven't even put on my first pair of shorts yet.

Are you sure it was Sears??? Their catalog business ceased in 1993 as far as their general catalog is concerned. Sure it wasn't Penney's? I worked for Sears catalog for 17 years and I miss that darn book!!!

[nosnobunny]

I'm positive it was Sears. I get 4 or 5 of them a year. They may have ceased their US publications, but not in Canada. We don't have JC Pennys.
