Remember when Christmas shopping began the day after Thanksgiving? Now stores run sales before Halloween. Retailers are at it again.
Toys R Us kicked off its 'Pack to School' sale on July 1, Wal-Mart used a giant crayon in stores starting this week to draw attention to back to school items, Target and Office Depot started on July 10, Staples on July 6, Walgreens this week...
At stake, $55 billion in back-to-school sales, according to the National Retail Federation. The irony? The NRF's back-to-school survey isn't due out for another two weeks.
