I think it is ridiculous to have this heavy poncho on as Today's Special Value.  It's the middle of summer for crying out loud!  There have also been alot of long sleeved tops  and heavy jackets on recently.  Most people want to buy summer clothes right now.  Can't you wait until at least August to start selling these fall/winter items?

Agree - it has been 90 here since May  - with no relief until October!!!  It looks like a blanket but I guess it goes with the clown clothes from Logo.

Can't let the other shopping channels and B&M stores get a jump on it...I bet the B&M stores are slowly filtering in their fall stuff as well..  But granted, it's being pushed on us like vegetables were when we were kids.  At least I'd they weren't cooked to smithereens, they were healthy for us!

All of the B&M stores I go to, are getting their Fall/Winter lines out and have been for awhile.  Summer clothes are on clearance and horribly picked over. 

 

I, too, wish we had a better selection of seasonal clothes, in season, but, it's not the way retail works. 

 

I need a new coat for winter and a few fill in pieces, for Fall/Winter wardrobe.  I'm not in the mood to shop for those things now, but, if I want the best choices, I better get with it!

The transition to fall has started.  The newspaper here is full of summer clearance sales.  Fall will be in the stores soon, so it's not just the q.  This has been going on for a couple years now.  If you want the best selection of the season, you have to buy the season before.

It is only 71 where I live.  I think they are trying to please everyone.

It only gets into mid to high 70's here as well and our summers are so short so please, let us enjoy what summer we have without thinking about falls do winter clothing.  I think most of us can get by with what we have for sure.
