zman Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 You may think this is sarcastic, but it is not meant to be. Buy your lights in Jan/Feb/March. It doesn't do you any good now though, I understand that.Problem now is that all the vendors know people are coming alive with the Christmas stuff. They also have had orders in for product in phases. Their suppliers charge differently depending on WHEN our vendors order product too. It's a snow ball effect.Right now the best you may be able to do is look for close out sales. Sometimes the big box stores will run sales, but you can't plan on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Your best bet is to wait for another month for the big box stores to stock lights. Work on other things that can be done on your display infrastructure till you get lights. There always seems to be plenty to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hertig Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 If you don't mind purple and orange lights, Halloween lights are starting to pop up 'everywhere', and you can probably score some 'after Halloween' sales to get the cost down. Other than that, when Christmas lights come out, they will tend to be 'full price' until close to Christmas (Sears usually starts their sales early in December). Of course, after Christmas you can generally get great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I noticed that the orange and purple lights at Wal-Mart are $3 per string right now. But then, I think they cost more than Christmas lights last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lasher Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yard Sales and Flea Markets are good places to find Xmas lights and decorations. That is a good place to look on the weekends. If you dont see anything in the yards ask them, you never know, they will go digging for things to sell!!!!John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lasher Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 check out walmart and target , they both have Xmas lights out. about 10% more than last year. Target also has the Snowman countdown clock for $99.99. Walmart has the 6 channel holiday light controller for less than 70$ this year for those that cant afford our LOR controllers.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
