A New Patio Bistro Set and Date Night with My HubbyJust because the inside of my house lacks color and
personality, doesn’t mean my back porch does. I recently had
the opportunity to go to Sears and purchase a patio set of my
choice. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted, I just knew I wanted a
space that actually had some color and pizazz.
Since I knew I would be purchasing our new patio set at Sears,
I went online to see all the styles they had available. While
browsing the selection in the Sears Style Hub, I found some
that I really loved. But as you know, there is nothing like seeing
it and touching it in person.
In addition to the Style Hub, you can get inspiration and design
ideas (like I did) with the Sears Outdoor Catalog. Since I don’t
have an ounce of creativity, it helps being able to see how it
could look in my own space.

our retreat for Date NightI headed over to the Sears Style Hub and boy oh boy I could
not pull myself away! I knew I wanted a few chairs that I could
pick up and move if needed. The Sears Online Catalog was
super easy to navigate.
We have a Sears Hometown Store really close so I thought I
would look and see if they had the set I was thinking about. You
can find the Sears Local ad online easily.
We checked out the Simply Outdoors area
and we had to sit and test the chairs out of
course. We knew we were also looking for a
smoker. Part of the area we are creating for
our date night involves cooking. We spent
an hour browsing and checked out right
around closing. Our salesman was very
helpful.

our 4th of July - Better With SearsThe salesperson that we worked with was
very helpful. I found it interesting that he
and his fellow co-workers were all using
IPad devices to connect customers with
their online site. He showed me the items
online as well as reviews. As I continued my
exploration, he kept track of the items we
were considering on his IPad. At the end of
the shopping trip he said that he would email
me links to all of the products that I had been
considering in the store. How slick is that?
All he had to have was my phone number
and, based on my Shop Your Way Rewards
Account, he sent everything to my email
address.

Getting ready for the 4th of July with SearsI knew we needed more help than just extra space. We needed a
welcoming area that said “Come and sit down for a while”. I also
wanted badly for my husband to get the grill of his dreams. I’d tried to
talk him into purchasing a new grill before, but he always brushed it off
and thought of something else we needed instead — never thinking of
himself. I searched Sears online catalog for grill deals and sales–along
with ideas for a patio set to rest in after a long day of cooking. I’d
heard about the benefits of ShopYourWay Rewards at Sears as well;
and was thrilled to find the perfect grill on sale!

Preparing for a Bash on the 4th with SearsFirst of all, I must tell y’all I do NOT take major purchases
lightly. I like to research and analyze these types of
purchases to death. Thank goodness Sears made that easy
for me. I started with the online catalog for some inspiration.
After my research, I felt knowledgeable enough to head to
the store. The sales associate was nice enough to answer
TONS of questions from me. My helpers all came along
with me on my journey as well. Want to see even more
pictures of our adventures?
We ended up with the Brookshire 7 pc Dining Set from
Country Living. The quality construction, sale price, and
lovely details are what sold me. I mean look at that tile table
and gorgeous chairs! I am in love...

Grilling Up for Father’s DaySears has always seemed like a store that was divided into very
distinct sections to me. So it was a no-brainer to go there and
choose grilling accessories. The first floor is all about women,
including women who shop for their men. The second floor is all
about children, and the man cave – also known as the lower level is
all made for dad. I mean sure, they sneak a couple of lawn furniture
pieces down there to appease the women, but it’s all about man toys.
Lawnmowers, drills, leaf blowers and tools. I liked that I could do a bit
of research before we went to make sure that what we were looking
for was even offered at the store. Another great program that Sears
has is the Shop Your Way Rewards (which I’ve been a part of since
last year) that rewards you one point per dollar spent, and you’re able
to apply that amount to current purchases. Not bad.

Celebrating Father’s Day After spending a fun filled afternoon at the local Sears store we
found just what we were looking for. Everyone had an opinion
and everyone needed to experiment with all of the grills! We
have been a big fan of Kenmore and look forward to using our
Kenmore grill all summer long.
To make my shopping experience even better we were able to
get free assembly on our new grill! We signed up for the Shop
Your Way Rewards program {which is a free rewards program}
through Sears. Since we used our Sears credit card we
earned 2x the reward points and saved 5% on the purchase!
We could not be happier with this purchase. We saved money
and earned rewards! We will definitely be heading back to
Sears next month to purchase our new washer and dryer. click F o r M o r e F r o M t H i S

Summer Grilling is HappinessI looked online at Sears.com because I knew
they had a great selection of grills. I also
wanted to search for a few other pieces to
make my backyard feel more relaxing and less
like a children’s play zone.
The Simply Outdoors catalog on the Sears.
com website had some amazing outdoor
setups that I would love to have.
I looked on the website and was excited to
find a side by side comparison of grills. There
is also a grill finder on the website to help you
find your perfect grill. I checked out the local
deals online and then headed to Sears.
