How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

All About Shopping AND A Giveaway ! Win A $100 GC

in Lifestyle on 09/22/16

Apparently it’s Fall.  I say apparently, because I think Mother Nature is still on her Summer vacation!  I’ve been blissfully soaking up these last few days of sunshine, knowing that soon enough, I will be moaning and complaining that Old Man Winter has come to stay.  How does a Mama prepare for this dreadful change in the weather?  She goes shopping of course!  Not wanting to give up any of those last moments of outside I did what any savvy shopper would do, I jumped on-line at Sears.ca (maybe in my pyjamas ……don’t judge) and I got down to business.  Fuzzy slippers, red wine, (fake) roaring fire because it’s still hot out and Sears.ca.

You won’t believe the deals I found!
I started my shopping ..well for the house.  Maybe not the most exciting, but after 20 years of marriage I kind of feel like I almost need another Bridal Shower.  Do you know what I mean?  Some of the lovely things in my home need a re-fresh.  A few things I put on my wish list include:

This WholeHome 1.8L Glass Pitcher.  Currently 40% off so rings in for just $8.99 plus tax.

Next up on my wish list, new towels.  Towels for the bathrooms and towels for the pool please! When the WholeHome®/MD Towels start at just $3.58 there really is no excuse not to re-stock!

One more item for the house?  I’m going to say yes, because when I saw this WholeHome®/MD San Marino Firepit, I just knew it was perfect for the back yard!  I can almost taste the s’mores now.

You know I just had to go looking for something that was just for me.  Kind of loving this Heys La Mode Tassel Tote.  At just $39.94 it includes a detachable bonus pouch for smaller items and is just spectacular for travel!

screen-shot-2016-09-20-at-7-34-21-pmTime on the Sears.ca site was once again time well spent. I found some amazing deals, and even bookmarked a few items to go back and buy later. Does doing a little shopping on-line or in store at your local Sears store sound like your idea of fun? Then I have a some fabulous news for you!

One lucky reader of How To Survive Life In The Suburbs will WIN a $100 Gift Card to Sears!

      I’d buy a new comforter set for my son’s room. He’s 17 and I’d like to change up his room to reflect his growing up. He won’t part with all his hockey theme, but a change up of sorts would be nice. Thanks for the chance! 🙂

      It’s a toss up between new towels – ours have faded and we last bought when Target was still in Canada. So they are done. Or, I might use for my husband for Christmas. He needs some new travel clothes. So do I but I can’t wait until Christmas so…
