Three Words Carry Tons of Baggage

Back. To. School.

Those three words might by now be repetitive and obnoxious, but they don’t have to be.  Because as in-your-face as the commercials and printed ads may be, they also don’t lie: there are some killer sales going on now for back to school!

With so many deals available, it can sometimes be hard to narrow down the ones you need most.  I know at least I can get caught up on the sale frenzy—buying things I don’t really need, just because they’re marked down. Know what I mean?

As much as I like to be an easy going person, I find myself having to make lists when I go on shopping trips so I don’t a) forget something I need and b) buy more than is necessary.  In terms of back to school purchases, this is probably a good idea too, for students and their families alike.

Let Sears Outlet Be Your Outlet to 4th of July Fun

I grew up in what some would call a small town. Every 4th, we’d all make our way over to the high school’s football stadium for the fireworks. The fireworks themselves were never as good as we had hoped, but it was fun to see everyone—tanned and carefree, wearing the summer well. I always looked forward to those nights.

Now, it’s not quite as easy to have such simple delights. We need more than fireworks and some old friends to make this 4th of July special. And what could spice up this anniversary better than finding some incredible deals on much needed items for a greatly anticipated celebration?

Help for the Technologically-Challenged Computer Shopper

If you are anything like me, you know just enough about computers to get by; emailing, surfing the net, composing documents on word, talking on Skype—and that is about it. In a shrill and slightly apologetic voice, I call my most computer-savvy friend every time I hit a wall where I can’t figure something out that I need. The calls usually go something like this: “Hi _________, so I was wondering, my computer keeps popping up this box in the corner, and I have no idea what it means…so, can you talk me through fixing it?” Or, “My computer is making this ‘whoooooowhooooo’ sound when I turn it on, like an engine trying to rev…can you come over tonight and take a look at it?
