Excellent comment.  To tag onto that, I have actually seen three TV commercials earlier today for "back-to-school" items i.e. backpacks, tablets, etc (from Walmart).

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?  

 


I am so with you on this comment. It's 91 degrees right now and it's almost 8PM. The last thing I am thinking about is buying a poncho or anything long sleeved. Nothing like the bums rush.

My nephew and niece return to school on August 17th.  Not so far away.  They have already received supplies needed notifications so parents have time to spread out purchases.

 

My state hasn't committed to a back to school tax free weekend for 2016 but neighboring states start theirs the last weekend in July.

It's not heavy. I bought it back in June through the Insider. It's like a thick cotton T-shirt material. And I bought the 3x, I love super baggy clothes, technically I'm a medium. It would make a great swimsuit cover up if you're going inside in a cool lobby of a hotel / to your room, or to take to the movies.

It's not heavy.  It's French terry, probably not as warm as an average cardigan sweater.  It even looks flimsy.  Perfect for air conditioning, don't you know.

 

I don't know why people on these boards can't accept that the summer shopping season is over and we're transitioning to fall.  It's always this way, B&M stores too.

Most schools in the "south" start the first week in AUGUST!
