While retailers have “resets” every so often, one of the big ones is done after inventory and after the holiday selling season … when they “reset” the section and start fresh.

With just a little over two weeks left for holiday/Christmas shopping, how complete is your CARS list being fulfilled. FIRST UP, Advice for CHRISTMAS-HOLIDAY shoppes who want these CARS BEFORE the 25th of December. Why are stacks, and stacks and stacks of CARS (and toys) unopened in gardening at WM?

Enough To Choke a wagon train of Clydesdales … TRU – launchers and singles? Whatever. We will corner the market on the Radiator Springs Mountain Challenge!
