Tesco Halloween 2024

The local Tesco in Folkestone isn't the biggest store and so it's half-aisle wasn't packed with anything too exciting this year, just the basic decorations and a few items of clothing. I'm sure a larger store will have a better selection.

Asda puts out its stock

The local Adsa in Folkestone had it's Halloween fare out for sale when I popped in yesterday evening. The usual kinds of decorations and costumes were on the main aisle. It was interesting to see the Nb4C wreath that Sainsbury's had for sale a couple of years agon, now for sale in Asda. The Jack Skellington plate was a nice item and priced at a reasonable £8. There were a few Beetlejuice items but not much left and the glasses were probaly the best of what was left.

Also at the ends of the aisles were crockery and homewares, such as a mat, candles, candle holders, wreaths, wicker storage baskets and jugs. The crockery that was produced last year in ornage is also available in other colours too this year.

And at the end of clothing aisles were t-shirts and sleepware, a couple of examples are shown here. It was good to see a Snoopy (womens) t-shirt (shown below), and there is a Chucky t-shirt this year

Sainsburys puts stock out

The bigger of the two local Sainsburys had their Halloween stock out when I visited it yesterday. Usual fare. Some wooden decorations and garlands. Mugs and plates but in more muted colours this year. It was good to see a continuation of Nightmare Before Christmas items - a few were ceramic, but the baubles looked quite plastic. There were also a few items based on the Wednesday TV series and the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film - so lets hope there might be a few more different choices going forward in future years.
