INTERNeX Canada: Smart Saver Vancouver

Hello everybody!

The most of the women we use shopping like part of a therapy to feel better! In some cases or just to enjoy it! But here in Vancouver is crazy expensive to say let´s go shopping without spending a lot of money!!

Sears is already known because you can find some bargain! But imagine that if they usually have discounts in their own articles imagine if they have sales because they will close the shop! There are lots of articles with an extra 50 % of discount so something that can cost originally 40 dollars, and in sales it usually cost 20 dollars, you can get it for just 10 dollars!

There are less and less clothes left but you can find something really interesting, with good quality and with really good price! But be aware the most of the clothes are not so fancy as you can imagine, but if you look and look and look more you will find a perfect bargain!

Sears is located in Pacific Centre Mall in Grandville Street! It´s huge and there are a lot of yellow poster where you can read they have to sell everything because they want to close it!

So girls, boys it’s the perfect occasion to give you a caprice without spending so much!

Cheers,

Irene
