Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I am seeing more and more ads for "BACK TO SCHOOL" sales etc etc. WTF? most FX kids just got OUT OF SCHOOL for the summer and wont return till Sept1st whatever. Sure College freshman report sometime in August but come ON? Noticing a trend retailers advertise Holidays and "BACK TO SCHOOL" Earlier and earlier. Am I RIGHT Ladiez?
back to school ads in the first week of July are like lining up to see Star Wars episode 1 3 months before its released. Its like pre-ordering Meade Skelton's new CD from Amazon before it goes to #1 in the Czech republic, its like Wearing a condom to jerk off to the Swimsuit issue.
People have xx dollars to spend durring the winter holidays, back to school, halloween etc. Retailers figure thast if the spend the $ in my store, they wont spend it in someone elses. Hence the big sales and hype on black friday.
Sales on kids clothes for back to school in the begining of July is rather silly. I have heard kids can grow like weeds in a couple of short months.
