We used to get everything there. Dad got tools and snow tires, Mom got clothes for all of us, older siblings got albums and t-shirts, I hung around in the toy aisle with the other kids dreaming about stuff until it was time to go home. Thanks for the look back. Amazing to see how pricey the electronics were-like early VCRs & 19” TVs; they were big purchases back then.
I miss that store, as a kid most of our things, from shoes and clothes to appliances were from Sears. As a teenager, got some clothes from there, but in latter years of high school had to have Lacoste, Polo or Hilfiger which Sears didn’t carry, still bought socks, underwear and such, albums, tools, wiper blades, car tires, oil changes, all Sears. Remember saving up money from a part time job while in high school, I bought our family gift, a VCR from Sears. Later, when I moved out, bought my TV, stereo and VCR from there. When I entered the job market, used to buy my suits, dress shirts, ties from Sears, good quality stuff at a reasonable price, when dressed up, it looked like I spent a lot more money than I actually did. Remember, they had video rental for several years before all of them started to pop up, good movies, reasonable prices. They also had a cafeteria, and the food was decent. Don’t have stores like that anymore
I don’t remember us buying many electronics from Sears but we definitely had a lot of clothes and Dad bought all his tools and auto parts there. Appliances were exclusively from Sears, usually Kenmore. I typically got the Sears Tele Games versions of Atari games. We got some stuff at Montgomery Wards and JC Penney but not nearly as much. I found some tools at a garage sale that were still in the box from Sears including that timing light in the commercial and a torque wrench.
Cheryl Tieg's signature clothing line reminds me of another one similar that I dealt with when I once worked at a Sears store from 2007-2014, I can still remember the Kardashian Kollection...
My mom used to buy my jeans there and they had these horrible iron on patches inside at the knees that would start to peal off over time and scratch my knees. I hated them so much lol.
Man I love Sears and Montgomery wards. 1967 picked out a 22rifle I wanted to buy. Being only seven I gave my mom the money she wrote out a check for the amount plus shipping. Two weeks later the rifle showed up at my door. Actually it did not even make it to the door. It was summer vacation and I was waiting out there every day after 5 days. The postman knew and was tired of hearing he asking for it. But was almost as excited as I was when he handed it to me. I tore open that box right in the front yard. When I was growing up. Our parents let us play with guns knives fireworks and Lawn Darts. You know what happened to the stupid? They didn't make it. My 65 Mustang came with a owner's manual that told you how to adjust the valves. Today's owners manual tells you not to drink the battery water.
My siblings and I remember Sears for back to school clothes shopping, getting a new tv or power tools, messing with the video game displays, bouncing a ball from sporting goods until our dad or the clerk told us to stop, and hiding in the display toolshed from our dad to annoy him until he called our bluff and pretended to leave us behind and we would run after him.

That was some serious one stop shopping---except you couldn't buy groceries like you can at Walmart now
I used to say, “when Sears goes down, America will go down “.
I was right.
Omg i so remember these commercials i sure miss them.🤗
Bought that timing light and that floor jack. Still have them but can't remember the last time I used them.
That VCR is $3,339 at 3:24 is in today's money. The color TV is $1,410. Now I understand why my family didn't have anything in the house.
We paid $1,700 for our discount priced TV 15 years ago and around $8,000 for one of our computers that I built. 🤔
A full size Kenmore frig and an upright freezer was a welcome sight. Their color TV's won by a mile stretch.
My family shopped at Sears. I still miss it.
I got a F150 4x4 with factory 8-track tape player that's older than these commercials. But still pretty cool.

They teamed up in 1984 with IBM to launch Prodigy
Well before Fast Eddie slithered onto the scene, when Sears was a retail powerhouse.
Fast Eddie... L😀L
Eddie Lampert was the best CEO that Walmart and Target ever had
@@woxyroxme LOL
Fast Eddie? That was Steve McQueen! Jackie Gleason was Fats.
Sears was a great store i miss it.

They were the Toughskins and Roughhousers lines. They were the worst. The fit was terrible and they were really stiff and rough.

Back then, you were made fun of at my school if you wore a "braggin dragon" shirt to class, because they were considered "fake" Izods!
Was that a Jukebox or a Slot machine?
just like the blackberry..they waited too long to adapt...lol
1980 what a horrible year, and everything got worse from there!
