As September draws to a close, now is the time to shop for Halloween decorations — especially skeletons, while you still have time to comparison shop and find good deals. Right now, Walmart’s skeleton aisle is still stacked with full-size humans, dogs, cats, ducks, an alligator, a mermaid and — naturally — a dragon skeleton. And they're all marked down ahead of Halloween season really kicking off.
