Larry Leonhardt Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Went to Wal-Mart today, and found that they had the Christmas lights out.. Attached files
Surfing4Dough Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I believe those are the same price as last year, which I guess is a good sign considering how things are going with everything else.Wait...I just looked again. The LEDs are 50ct, whereas last year they were 60ct. :X
xmasboy Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Incandescants appear to be $2.98. I think they were $2.49 last year... That's kind of a big increase...And this seems extremely early. I don't think Wal Mart had lights out until the end of October last year. Interesting. Lowe's looks like they could go out any day now.

I would bet in just a couple of days everything will be out. I am trying to match some Philips LEDs that I bought at Target last year. Target doesn't have any out yet. I asked when they would be out, and they sort of laughed at me. Oh well, I already know I'm nuts with this hobby, so that didn't hurt my feelings.

I was looking for LEDs, so I didn't pay much attention to the incandescent lights.

I'm betting lights will go out in the next week or so.

scubado Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 When I walked into the big Menards store near where I work, the first thing you see is Christmas lights, with large signage above that says Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I was happy to see that.
paulanator Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 TJ, did we miss "talk like a pirate day"???
xmasboy Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I went by Lowes and Home Depot today. Still nothing...
jldavis1969 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I was in my local Home depot today also. On the highest shelving was some christmas stuff. a few days ago I was in there and commented that the christmas stuff should be showing up soon and an employee said setup is the 26th.
eschlomach Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 My walmart put out there lights yesterday. I was the first customer to buy any lights. They looked at me kinda funny when i was buying 50 boxes. Then they really thought i was crazy when i told them i needed another 100 boxes. I was able to get all my clear lights but they didn't have any red or any green 100 count minis. I called 7 other wal marts and all of them only have clear, multi, and blue. Thats all i can find at my store also. Has anyone else seen red or green minis at walmart? i just might have to return my lights and get them all somewhere else. Being as im going with all new lights for my show id like to stick to the same brand
CKSedg Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I was in the local Target on Monday night. No Christmas lights. I asked when they would be out and they told me after Halloween, and actually made some semi-rude comments about crazy people who celebrate Christmas too soon!I was back in the store just two nights later and EVERYTHING was on the shelf, both incandescents and LEDs. I bought a bunch. They had red, cool white, warm white, pink, purple, and blue. No green, for the second year in a row! Glad I ordered a bunch from CDI. Now I need to find some amber LEDs somewhere.

MikeH Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I was at Walmart today and found a Christmas count down. I know several people have been looking for something like this.MikeH Attached files
