Well, as we head into October, TKMaxx's offering start to dwindle and the regular UK supermarkets start to put out their wares. And this week I've been to the 4 major chains... and all my visits have disappointed slightly.
Sainsburys is great if you want kids fancy dress costumes, disposable partyware and decorations. There are cheap DVD and CDs mainly aimed at the kids' market - it is a shame that there are no new compilations this year of Halloween music. Also, a couple of years back, Sainsburys experimented with some higher quality decorations (such as made of wood) and it is a shame these never took off.
