a terrible trend ?

[George Curtis]

Was bad last year but worse this year. At least around here. No sales of bbq or grilling stuff. Also less stock of things. Target is the only one that had sales but this year they stocked very little. Even this summer and fall I have found next to nothing in my favorite second hand store. Dry dry dry.

I tried to stock up on grill grates this fall with no luck, I must have waited to long or the stores just didn't have much stock?

Nothing here at all.

Maybe they're doing cost control. Better to run out at the end and lose a bit of profit than have to have a "fire sale" and lose a lot.

Well, they are taking a hit just having all that just sitting there. Product rotation is how you make money. Not if it's just sitting there.
