Shop Early For Seasonal Items...

I think we all know that stores put out seasonal or holiday items very early, sometimes 2-3 months in advance. When we see it, we sometimes ignore it because we are not even in that "mode" yet for that holiday.

However, I have a shopping tip for you. When you see that seasonal or holiday section early on...definitely take a look. The products for certain holidays are only ordered once for that particular time period. If you see something that you want...get it, because once it's gone, it's gone.

Shop early and buy it when you see it!

These pumpkins are an example.

Our daughters are long past dressing up for Halloween, but I still look in that section of stores every year. These pumpkins were in Walmart in the scary decor aisle. Not scary to me!!

For me, they are perfect for Fall decor.

I love the colors and the beaded surface and they are only $2-3 each.

You can use them in different spots around the house from September through November, so it's a good investment.

Thrift store basket for $2.00 is the best holder.

Fall centerpiece you can use over and over each year!

Christmas is out now at Michael's, so I grabbed some ribbons that caught my eye.

Sometimes a very small item triggers a whole theme for me...like that red and white snowflake ribbon. I love it!!

and this burlap glitter ribbon. How could I resist and at 40% off...even better.

So when you are out shopping, don't just walk by all those seasonal aisles because you will miss out on some great things.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day,
