I've read on line that stores are planning to stock less this year because of the poor economy and the fact that they got 'stuck' with stuff last year, but I really didn't believe the extent of it until this weekend.
I went to Toys R Us, their toy book came out on October 31, and I was there November 6th, and they were already SOLD OUT of a bunch of stuff I wanted.
She offered me rain checks, but couldn't guarantee that they were getting more shipments before Chirstmas, not unless it is a Black Friday item.
WOW!
I was able to order what I needed on line at the sale price, but still!
At Walmart, they seem to have about half the amount of Christmas stuff they usually do.
I'm so happy I shop ahead, but still....
What about you? Are you finding what you need? Especially you folks with Santa lists to fill?
