Tips For Enhancing Your Car Shopping Experience

Usually, shopping around for a car can be fairly stressful. You're hit with ads and sketchy car dealers, and you're probably overwhelmed because you don't know what to get or even the best price. But shopping for a car, whether used or new, doesn't need to be a giant disaster. Here are some tips for making the process as easy as possible!

How to find the best Black Friday deals

We have all seen the video footage of Black Friday shoppers going completely mad - often for items they don’t even need or want, but all in the name of the discount! Black Friday is a great time to find a deal or two, but if you do not go in with the right approach, you will just be wasting your own time. The key to a successful Black Friday is research - after all, why would you spend money if the product isn't good. If you aren't prepared, you will not make the best decisions and end up waisting money. Here are some tips to help you make and stick to your budget.

Shopping for Back to School Outfits

This is the time of the year, we shop for the latest trends, colours, and styles of clothing for our children. Before a new school year starts, we go through our children's closet to get rid of clothes that no longer fit them, and shop for outfits that they will enjoy wearing to school especially as the weather becomes cooler. We like shopping at Sears Canada for children's clothes because they have a wide selection of their own private label styles at reasonable prices.

Ease of Shopping Online

We love shopping online! There are a few reasons, why my family and I love to shop online and have been doing this more frequently in the recent past. With online shopping, we can conveniently buy what we want, when we want without trying to beat traffic, driving to a store and looking for the items in the shelves, or carrying the items and standing in line. Especially with the busy lifestyle, making purchases online is quick - simply search for the items and buy it - and the products get delivered right to our front door. Also, depending on the items, it is quite easy to return without regretting the purchasing decision.

My Shopping Experience at Linen Chest

I am glad I took advantage of the recent Linen Chest Grand Opening 4-day sale in the Greater Toronto Area.

Benefits of Being An Avioner This Holiday

During the holidays, shopping malls can get very hectic, crowded and busy. However, having an Avion RBC card changes the feeling of chaos and makes us feel like "royalty" instead. With the RBC Visa Avion card, we can get our car parked by valet, relax in the VIP lounge away from the crowd and enjoy shortbread cookies and warm beverages, while our gifts get wrapped for free.

Carter's and OshKosh B'Gosh clothing @SearsCA

I attended the #SearsAmbassador event during the Family day weekend as Sears welcomed Carter's and OshKosh B'Gosh line of children's clothing to their selected stores and online.  I am a fan of Carter's and OshKosh B'Gosh clothing since my children were young and I am glad that now Sears carries these quality clothing for our convenience.  

These clothing are bright and adorable.  The summer collections will feature jungle graphics and stylized animal prints that children will look cute in.    

The detailed and beautifully crafted clothes from newborn to size 7 are sold from $7 to $24.  These comfortable playwear collections will be available at 79 Sears locations across Canada and online.

I have bought all my baby items at Sears and found the baby room setting very cute.  Looking at the clothes, furniture and goodies made me feel like having another baby :)  

Sears also has a wonderful collection of toys and baby items that would make valued gifts, which are sure to be enjoyed and appreciated by children and parents.
