Why This Mom Has Started Christmas Shopping Before Halloween

It’s not even Halloween, so why is this mom shopping for her kids’ Christmas gifts now? Mom of three Marisa Brahney has already started shopping for toys, because she knows that there’s likely to be long waits for deliveries as America’s supply chain faces extreme stress. More than 60 massive cargo ships are still waiting to be unloaded at ports on the West and East Coasts. Chris Brinkodski, owner of Tons of Toys, says that supply will start to dwindle at the end of October. #InsideEdition

She's actually buying them now because she knows they'll become more expensive during Christmas time.

My mom used to start on December 26th next year from the mark down rack.

This is the most perfect to Christmas because ain't nobody even thinking about buying gifts yet, and plus everything is cheap right now.

[choisansbestfanrealnotfake]

This is really smart, at least everything is cheaper and there’s no rush to get one toy

[FutureMeterologist]

This genius not gonna lie. And she has a strategy everything will be either, sold out, expensive or lines will be very long.

It’s always a good idea to shop before hand…. It’s called common sense
1. Get it on sale
2. Saves lines
3. Done early
4. Get the stuff at the end of the seasons

Fun fact: If you want to buy swimsuits and bikinis for summer at the cheapest prices, start shopping for them during the August month

[cherylmccray]

It's not to early, I start every year around August to September, especially when you shop for a lot of family members

[karacreswell]

I’ve always done this. It makes the holiday so much more enjoyable.

My family's decided not to buy Christmas gifts this year but to use that money towards a family trip next year. Kids don't appreciate what they have and get so why not make memories instead?

[veranaika]

As a filipino. We start our Christmas at September 🤣 we got a long list of people to give gifts, not to mention we have a big family. So this is normal for us. Buying Christmas present, way early putting up Christmas tree.

Lets not forget people order those metal frame above ground pools this winter season....they will be soooo cheap until summer when they triple in price 😆

[trodg]

Christmas has become so materialistic it’s sad. this isn’t what it should be about. enjoy being with your family

[Vlaud]

Shopping now for Christmas is actually a really good idea, NO stress. . NO crazy crowds you have to shove your way through. A LOT lot easier.

[fireflymiesumae]

It's actually smart since Christmas is basically around the corner.

[poncho]

It's cheaper if you just don't buy Christmas gifts altogether.

[TylerPark]

Plot twist: She's actually scalping them toys to resell

[viralnorn]

Wondering if the "supply chain issue" is a ploy to get consumers to spend like crazy this year since black Friday sort of died during the pandemic. Time will tell.

Part of the experience is that stress around Christmas. I will wait and do the best I can lol 😂

My mom actually did the same thing and it’s a good idea. There aren’t enough workers to ship out items from online shops so gifts get delayed. Also everything gets too expensive come December.
