Supply-Chain Issues Could Make Holiday Shopping A Nightmare This Year “Retailers are warning shoppers to start buying now, or better yet, yesterday, if they want to make sure they can track down everything they want this year.”
It’s enough to make your head spin, but it all boils down to this year: the only way to give yourself the best chance of getting what you need is to get out in front of the competition.
I’ll admit it: a few weeks ago, when I started seeing news reports about starting holiday shopping early this year, I sort of dismissed it as a ploy to get me to spend more. I was like, these are the same people that want me to buy my Halloween costume in July and my Easter candy in January — they’ve got ulterior motives, no?
But then I started seeing the issues for myself — products I loved discontinued, deliveries not coming on time, higher prices. All of that is only going to get worse when everyone and their mom is trying to shop at the same time, and the holidays are only two months away., according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Honestly, at this point we won’t be surprised if we start hearing that we should start shopping for Christmas 2022 on December 26, 2021.
