I think the stores bought less this year because Easter was so early. I have never seen it so empty BEFORE Easter. I don't think a lot of it was bought at 50% off, I think it was bought before Easter at full (or sale) price.

Also, after Christmas, some of the 'stocking stuffer' type items like the Legos did not go on clearance. These were items that didn't have anything Christmas-y about them, but were in the Christmas aisles. I wondered if it would be the same way with Easter.
