Jason's Sears Rake-In

Check out all this stuff Jason was able to get through the Sears Dockers/Shell gas card offer. Here's what he got:

4 pair of dress pants
6 dress shirts
6 ties
9 pair of socks (3 packs of 3 socks)
2 pair of shorts
2 knit shirts

Jason was able to do 3 transactions. The limit was two per household, so he called both of our dads to see if they needed or wanted anything. Neither one did. My dad told Jason to do another transaction and to have the gas card sent to his house, and he would give it to Jason. In order to get the gas card from Shell, the total transaction had to be $100 before tax. Since Jason receives a discount on clothing he aimed for each transaction to be around $125. Everything he picked out was discounted, and almost everything was 50% off!

Here's the math:

Total Retail value before/after tax: $768.00/$821.76
Total Sale value before/after tax: $397.24/$425.05
Sears Employee Discount (taken out before tax): $79.45
Total after discount and tax: $340.06
Gas card amount: $225.00
Total Out of Pocket: $115.06
That's an average of $5 per item!!
PLUS, He will be able to write off the work clothing on his taxes at the end of the year!
