Big Lots already in Spring mode?

I couldn't believe Big Lots has not only putting their Valentines Day and St Patricks Day merchandise up but also two aisles of lawn and garden supplies, fertilizers, potting soils etc. Mind you it's 20 degrees and the first mow of the season won't be til April here. These stores have got to carry seasonal merchandise in my opinion not waste shelf space on lawn and garden. Very foolish decision by the store manager. I registered a complaint with the cashier who said she would pass it along.

Re: Big Lots already in Spring mode?

You seriously complained to the store manager because you feel it is foolish? Seriously?

You do realize that stores like Big Lots put out the merchandise they are sent by corporate. It is not as if they have huge warehouses in the back with the store managers deciding what goes out.

If you do noit wish to buy lawn and garden merchandise now, then do not do it. Others, however, may choose to do so. Where do you get off deciding what should be sold?

Good to know, I need potting soil to repot house plants.

I need to go, not everyone lives at the North Pole, even though it has been very cold in the south, I am tired of the winter dull and dreary days .......... we have only had one day of sunshine here the whole year!!! Spring is my favorite season .......... everything dead comes alive again!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

What seasonal items did you want to see? I guess what I'm saying is that I would expect to see spring items even though we are still in a deep freeze where I live. Hardly worth voicing a complaint.

I say bring on the Spring merchandise! I'm not a fan of winter and love to have spring and summer to look forward to.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

It's called marketing.

Those who do their Christmas shopping in July would not be happy if they could not buy Valentines and St. Patrick's merchandise now.

Actually, I saw Valentine's Day items starting to be displayed before Christmas. It doesn't bother me much.
