Many pointed out it’s nowhere near Halloween yet.

The post sparked reactions as shoppers rushed to share their opinions.

Another commented: “Bit early for Halloween stuff not even September yet.”
A third added: “I like seasonal items coming out early. Good to plan ahead.”
And one joked: “We’ve got Xmas stuff next week too.”
Some fans were thrilled, saying it’s never too early to prepare for Halloween.
It’s not the first time Home Bargains has caused a stir with its cut-price treats.
Earlier this month, shoppers went wild when Haribo share bags were spotted scanning at tills for only 29p.
The retailer teased fans with the post: “This is not a drill – Haribo share bag only 29p.”
Shoppers were quick to react.
One said: “That’s cheap.”
Another wrote: “Time to stock up for work.”
Pictures of trolleys stacked high with Haribo have since appeared online.
Fans bragged about filling cupboards for the kids, the office, and late-night snacks.
And the sweet deals don’t stop there.
Rowntree’s has also launched a brand new version of its famous fruit pastilles, called Squidgers, on shelves at Home Bargains.
The 99p sharing bags come with five fruity flavours: strawberry, lime, blackcurrant, orange and lemon.
They’ve been described as “irresistibly squidgy” and “bursting with flavour.”
One review read: “They taste exactly the same as fruit pastilles but in a sugary and spongy sweet texture.”
Another fan said: “They sound so nice, I need to try these.”
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
