So I went grocery shopping ... and there were boxes and boxes of Halloween candy in the candy aisle.   Big ol' orange Holiday boxes with haunted houses and full moons and bats on them.   

Kinda rushing the season along .... aren't they?

I guess I should be glad that they at least waited until after Fourth of July.

This is the same grocery store that at Christmas last year had the Christmas candy out and also the Valentines candy and Easter Candy.    Yeah ... at Christmas.

Rush rush rush.

And before anyone asks ... no I didn't buy any bags of Halloween candy to munch on.

Silly me.
Here I thought Halloween candy was set out the day after school starts.
And School supplies come out the day after July 4th.

Thats one reason I order pickup or delivery or have it shipped in... I loathe grocery shopping now 

I can't stand the huge stores anymore, the vegetables mostly suck, and I don't know what's going on with the papayas..

I do better ordering, LOL I get less, and it's planned better

I can't find lettuce worth buying to save my ass.

Where I live, there are no supermarkets, at least as you know them.   We are all so cheap that we don't buy the holiday candy before the holiday, but gorge on it after the holiday when it comes down in price.   Now, last year, the stores were hip to this practice, so they held the price after Easter.   We held also, for the most part.   Nothing happened until recently, when the stores collectively relented  and dropped their Easter candy price.   Chocolate fairly flew off the shelves, but nobody seemed to want expired marshmallow peeps.   Why expired?  Because they were old before they got here.   They will probably end up in the government shelter supplies.   

A fate worse than death -- having to survive on melted marshmallow peeps.   There must be a punk song in there somewhere.

ETA:  Forgive me......... this just flashed through my head:

It's the end of the world 
and we got nothin' to eat
but marshmallow peeps
melted all in the heat
even the sheep weeps

NEVERmind.   pay me no attention.  Mental  flapjacks.
