The sets of lights I bought last Sunday were 75% off. They were LEDs, I couldn’t believe it when I checked out, and the shelves were almost bare. They started sales before people really started buying.

There were a number of little things that I buy for stocking stuffers that just aren’t available this year. Things are looking grim around here.

I’m also noticing less Christmas decorations on houses, but that could be due to the excessive cold and snow we have been having here in Chi Town.

I was at the mall today. It was quite empty. I suppose that could be because it was a Wednesday, but it was so empty you could shoot a canon through it and not hit anyone. The anchor stores were doing a bit of business, but I’d guess that was because they were handing out 20% off coupons like candy. And that was on top of the already reduced sale prices. They were well stocked too. I found everything I needed.

Starbucks was selling bags of Christmas blend coffee beans at 20% off! I have never seen that before… not even after Christmas… they never discount their coffee. Sign of the times I guess.
