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!

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
