It's probably a good idea to get that chocolate now before the price really explode. But, yea, it's early.

I said the same thing to my husband yesterday! I was hoping to bargain shop at our local market street and all of the Christmas stuff was gone and Valentine stuff already in its place!!

arlenemb.bsky.social•170 days ago

Today we saw Valentines Day AND St. Patrick’s Day merchandise!

Last year, one shop had Easter decorations for a reduced price. That was the day before Christmas.

Most women are still deciding how long to keep the guy after Christmas or whether to keep them into NYE or not. Now they want them to think about February???

niapsaka.bsky.social•169 days ago

I think if you're going to cut him loose, the kind thing is to do it before New Year's parties, & the selfishly cruel thing is to keep him around until January 7.

1cherokeenative.bsky.social•169 days ago

No, not really. It's all about marketing and making money

accesstherealyou.bsky.social•170 days ago

Apparently not

helenmryan.bsky.social•170 days ago

Target was putting theirs out last night. 😖

wayneslaven.bsky.social•170 days ago

Nope

vikazoora.bsky.social•170 days ago

I went to a store on Christmas Eve and they had Valentine’s Day stuff out. They had already cleared away any festive merchandise.
Who really celebrates Valentine’s Day like that?

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•170 days ago

And buys that shit so early ? It’s next year !

gene47.bsky.social•169 days ago

I was in the marked on the 24th and noticed how Valentines Day had already started.. cannot have empty store shelves.

classifiedmediads.bsky.social•170 days ago

F corporate!

It’s stupid

riglow331.bsky.social•170 days ago

I've also seen hints of Easter starting. Valentine's hit some stores mid-December and will leave by the end of January, which means if you shop last minute your Valentine's gift may be bunny related.

They had to fill their empty shelves with something.

jmal52.bsky.social•170 days ago

We live in a commercial world run by corporations that want to make money off us 24/7 365 days a year. We need to stop doing their bidding.

poppy567.bsky.social•170 days ago

Exactly. They wouldn't put it out if no one was buying.

modwoman.bsky.social•170 days ago

They could not wait to bring in all of the new products. I don't pay that much attention to Valentine's Day.

toddcorley.bsky.social•170 days ago

The Corporate Oligarchy has denied your request. They sent "Thoughts & Prayers" instead

alisacapone.bsky.social•170 days ago

Well that's kind of pathetic!

wnh13842.bsky.social•170 days ago

Yep, I walked into our local Walmart on the 24th. No Valentine's stuff. Walked into it last night, full of Valentine's stuff

tepidlatte.bsky.social•170 days ago

Gotta keep the machine running, pumping out endless crap! If we don't constantly buy buy buy, the economy will crash and the world will end! It's your duty to consume the entire planet! Everything must gooooo!

sringo5.bsky.social•169 days ago

I know. Seriously.

grrlgotgame.bsky.social•170 days ago

I saw Valentines crap at my pharmacy 2-weeks before Christmas. They have now started adding Easter. Apparently time has no meaning anymore.

igloochik.bsky.social•170 days ago

It's already been in stores for a couple weeks now. Capitalism drives everything.

Don’t forget Halloween 2025 is 307 days away, I keep wondering when that’ll start getting advertised in August.

Valentine’s Day is the dumbest of those made up special day. If you need to wait once a year to tell your other half how much you love them and do something nice for them, you deserve to be alone.

h-k-l.bsky.social•170 days ago

Yes, and same with Mother's Day and Father's Day. Yes, I am a mother X 3. We zoom once a month and that is the best present I could possibly receive.

k-stina.bsky.social•170 days ago

Give me all the dark chocolate. I simply live for the day after these holidays for the sales.😂

mariaaragon64.bsky.social•170 days ago

Right?!
Good grief.

veggieman801.bsky.social•170 days ago

It just goes to show you how tough on relationships Christmas really is….

espengis.bsky.social•170 days ago

The consumerism of every aspect of life and events is one of the reasons I have a hard time stomaching any of them and do what I can to not be caught all up in it. Soon we'll have Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Halloween, Thanks giving, Mothers and Fathers day 24*365.

spoopygolightly.bsky.social•169 days ago

As soon as Christmas is taken down, they already have Valentines ready to put out. It’s how the system works. I’ve seen it through Walmart and Dollar General.

elesazehndorfer.bsky.social•170 days ago

No, you cannot, sorry 😄

Hot cross buns already in the supermarkets here in Australia Gross mass consumerism.

therapywitch.bsky.social•170 days ago

They have to keep the money train rolling. Get those people spending money they don't really need to. I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day.

terryezell.bsky.social•170 days ago

Don't worry, the Easter stuff will be out in two weeks.

Hot cross buns in Sydney supermarkets on Boxing Day 🤷

facedamuzk.bsky.social•170 days ago

prolecat84.bsky.social•170 days ago

Goodness, no. Stores have to plan 2-3 holidays/seasons ahead. And every year they have to begin it all earlier in order to get a jump on everyone else. Otherwise they risk losing sales to competitors, and CEOs might lose bonuses.

mimimcbroom.bsky.social•170 days ago

momofanangel.bsky.social•170 days ago

zoltar76.bsky.social•170 days ago

Stop buying this shit. Stop feeding the machine. Bake some heart cookies instead using flour and butter you buy on sale, in bulk, locally from a small business. #eattherich

accesstherealyou.bsky.social•170 days ago

Exactly

shellygee.bsky.social•170 days ago

redincalif.bsky.social•170 days ago

well, you had me on all the 'stop feeding the machine' & 'buying this shit' (meaning commercialism) but you lost me at 'bake some cookies'... nah.. I'll buy them from a local bakery though! (I'm sick of baking.. I just got thru Xmas.. can you give me 2 seconds off from baking!? 🤨🫤🤦‍♀️)

zoltar76.bsky.social•170 days ago

Buying from a local bakery works too!!! I just happen to like baking. Buy local, buy small. 👍🏼 It’s a hard step to take anyway, every little bit helps. But commercialism is how THEY stay rich. They make us think we need this crap. We don’t. Living a simple life is very gratifying.

redincalif.bsky.social•170 days ago

100% Zoltar! In my family, the kids know I won't 'celebrate' Valentine's day, have issues with mothers/fathers day, etc. It's ALL about commercialism. The altruistic idea behind any of those kinds of 'holidays' may have been genuine 100 yrs ago but now it's corrupted beyond recognition. If they

zoltar76.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’ve already told our kids that those days (Valentines, Mother/Fathers Day) are manufactured by THEM to make us buy their shit. The best gift they can give us is their time. A day out in the yard grilling out, listening to music, telling stories. 🙂🎁

redincalif.bsky.social•170 days ago

want to celebrate me or with me for something, then that's a feeling we need to generate every day for us personally & leave boxes of candy out of it. We've even toned down our Xmas/TG day to going to a movie or planning a family event for those days rather than more 'things'. Not getting my $!!

zoltar76.bsky.social•170 days ago

We discussed it as a family. We’re doing a gift exchange next year, drawing names. Make more targeted gifts, things people want/need. And stocking gifts just for fun. It will save everybody tons of $$ that just feeds the rich anyway.

mommytlc.bsky.social•169 days ago

editcrazi.bsky.social•170 days ago

Welcome to the new age of marketing where the consumer is pushed daily into buying stuff without a second of intermission. I hate it, I’ve always hated it and I will not buy into it. Remember Black Friday in July is almost upon us.

tree700.bsky.social•170 days ago

Nope, corporations invented holidays. Just ask Hallmark.

lorraine5.bsky.social•170 days ago

Apparently not.

justsomeliberaldem.bsky.social•170 days ago

That bottom line though! It's the corporations saying "fuck you that's why". They have been putting out Valentine's crap here since before Christmas. They start Halloween garbage in August. Probably why I have lost my holiday spirit.

peanutbuttercookie.bsky.social•170 days ago

scottishborn71.bsky.social•170 days ago

Completely agree…but on the bright side, it brings us 1 day closer to getting these beauties!

robertsssmart.bsky.social•170 days ago

commercialism, it seems to be what America is built on more and more.

Can I interest you in some Fourth of July bunting??

kentann.bsky.social•170 days ago

On Tuesday (Yes, Christmas Eve day), I was looking for some last minute candy stocking stuffers and almost bought some cute Valentine candy. WTAF. They couldn't wait until Thursday?

carsonia.bsky.social•170 days ago

Speaking of chocolates, does anyone have a real good favorite I can order online ? Not cherries.

kaylan.bsky.social•170 days ago

Yes!!! Say no more. This is a small chocolate factory where my mom grew up and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Like by far. And I’m a huge chocolate nut! If you need any recommendations of what to order, just ask me👇

Ahhh, sorry, didn't think of that. Just a bit down the highway myself.
If you ever make a trip out to Montana, though, it's worth a stop :)

carsonia.bsky.social•170 days ago

They have exactly what I want .27.00 shipping ! 30.00 chocolates

bevdower.bsky.social•170 days ago

carolcook75.bsky.social•170 days ago

I worked retail for years. The pallets of Valentine merchandise are waiting in the back room. Christmas night the Christmas things are put in markdown and the Valentines go up. February 15 the Easter merchandise go up along side the St Patrick section. It’s never ending.

indygal.bsky.social•170 days ago

I worked retail for many years, we never got to enjoy the current holiday because we were focused on the next one.
You either have empty shelves, or you start filling them with the next holiday. You can’t just start throwing all that out there the week before.
