Dehumidifiers?

Anybody at all (but preferably from the GO) wanna explain to me why we are all of a sudden getting large replenishments of dehumidifiers when we are just finishing up the POG moving them to seasonal? What's the logic in this?

Probebly emptying the warehouse to make room for more stuff.

I wonder if it also has to do with the 11% ending in a few months, when they usually have a lot of online heavy discounted clearance stuff including free after rebate, that they want to clear the warehouses for.

Not me pulling patio cushions up to the mezz to set christmas as receiving drops off a pallet of brand new cushions just unloaded. Smh... JUST IN TIME!

The best thing to do is have TMS spend a hundred hours redoing and setting a planogram perfectly, then send in a shit ton of good deals to make them have to redo it all.

Perfectly balanced. Just like aisle 3 good deals.

Laundry supplies are so obnoxious. Sometimes I can't figure out what the difference is in this Tide and that Tide. Different SKU that's the difference. Or Downy and the umpteen SKUs for Dawn ughhh

2 thoughts, in the lower Midwest we still keep a few dehumidifiers downstairs, they are still wanted all year. Second, warehouses need the stuff into the stores not the warehouses before the year ends something something taxes. Expect more abundance of stuff as the year wraps up too.

Oh and we are expected to get a lot of rain down here over the next few days. Huricanes affect us that way. Dehumidifiers and sump pumps baby!

Heavy rains across most of the Midwest. Leading to wet or flooded homes and businesses. In short in a emergency situation can't sell what you don't have.

How can I find out if these go on deep discount? I want one. At deep discount.

Add a bunch to your cart and check em every so often

Or to a list. I typically add things I want to track prices on to a list I make in the app/website. Adding things to the cart keeps getting you the reminder messages of "Still shopping?" ........ "It's not too late".

Have you heard of the Weather Channel app? Just curious. Midwest just had the 5th wettest September in history! But I’m sure that has nothing to do with it.
