Yep.
What will we do without Sears, though? Where will I buy my cheap suits and clip-on ties?
Kohl’s? Do they sell suits? Dollar General maybe?
The last two purchases I made at Sears I had to return because the item broke.
Take $2000, and 7 days. Buy a round trip ticket to Shanghai, China. Spend half the money on the air fare.
When you arrive in China, go to the Everbright Hotel in Xujiahui - VERY nice hotel, around $40 a night for a comfortable room.
The next day, got to stall 48, second floor, Xiang Yang Market (461 Jin Hui Lu). Get measured, choose out the fabrics you want, deposit $250 (you’re going to get 5 suits and shirts, right?).
Go spend a few days exploring China. WONDERFUL real massages - by professionals, what you’d get in upscale spas in the US - for only $10 an hour. Get your hair washed - it’s a $1.25 for a 50 minute procedure, which includes the shampooing, a 25 minute scalp massage, a 15 minute neck and arm massage, and styling.
Then go explore Shanghai. $50 a day will go a LONG way. The Brazilian BBQ place across from the market where you’re getting your suits is phenomenal - all you can eat of some AMAZING cuts of meat for around $8.
After 4 days, go back for your trial fit. Then return 2 days later, pay your other $250, and take your 5 tailored silk or wool or linen suits and linen or silk shirts home...:)
MUCH better than the Sears suits, good prices, and a great vacation in a very cosmopolitan, modern city...:)
Sears is just K-Mart with a fancy new name. Won’t trade with them... but they are really popular with our undocumented citizens from what I can see locally...
I’m in the same boat. They’re where I buy my clip-on suits and cheap ties.
