Out of all the various [insert product name here] of the month clubs available, I’ve never really been interested in any of them for myself.

I was at the mall today when I noticed something a bit odd. Most stores still have fall/Halloween related decorations and products on display, but a few are taking things a step further by reminding consumers that the holiday shopping season is just around the corner. Yep, I saw several notices encouraging people to get [...]
