00:00 Well, the fall vibes are back and we're not just talking about pumpkin spice.
00:03 Everything stores are stocked with Halloween decorations already.
00:06 Consumer reporter john Matter East looks at whether it's worth buying now or
00:09 maybe waiting so you don't waste your money.
00:11 Believe it or not, Halloween and fall decorations are already out. And if
00:16 you'd like to have the spookiest house on your block this year, we wanted to
00:20 know what you'll find right now and what it will cost you. Scary sounds,
00:26 animated animals and inflatable monsters. Julie Rocchio of at home
00:33 says these are the biggest decor trends this Halloween. Great size for your
00:37 yard, she says. Inflatables from 44 up to $200 are all the rage. So they're
00:43 plug and play. You can decorate real fast and easy and they also, you know,
00:48 when they disinflate, they're easy to pack away and store for next year.
00:51 Julie suggests completing your yard with skeletons and tombstones as low as
00:56 $19 each. Now that we're all excited to scare the bejesus out of young
01:00 Children, it's still august, right? Like I didn't lose time somewhere. We
01:05 wanted to know, did Halloween creep into stores sooner than usual. We're
01:09 kind of getting this fall vibe a little bit earlier. Julie Ramhold with deal
01:13 news dot com says just like the excitement around pumpkin spice lattes,
01:17 stores are getting on board. That means you can spread out your spending
01:21 rather than buying everything all at once. So should you stock up now? Julie
01:25 says it depends where you shop discount stores like home goods or T. J. Max
01:29 places like that. You're probably not going to want to wait, she says. It big
01:33 chains like walmart and target prices will likely come down the closer we get
01:37 to Halloween. The best deals of course come on november 1st. But if you want
01:42 these big inflatables at homes, Julie Rocchio says don't wait till october.
01:46 They'll probably be gone. We're selling out as soon as we put them out on the
01:50 shelf. That way you'll have the scariest home on the block and you
01:53 don't waste your money. I'm John Mattress.
