Fall is just around the corner and even though we’re still thinking about Labor Day sales and summer clearance, some stores are already thinking about the end of October. We’ve seen sneak peeks at this year’s Halloween deals on store shelves and online. Some stores, like Lowe’s, had Halloween decor on display back in July. We’ve also seen Halloween costumes appearing at Walmart, Target, and on Amazon.
