Back to School with Kohls

Do you ever go shopping and leave the store thinking "What just happened?!" Well that's the feeling I often get at Kohls. But, it's the good kind of surprise. If you follow the tips below you can save some serious money on back to school shopping too.

1. Sign up for Kohls credit card (Only do this if you can afford to pay for your purchases each month, having a balance will negate your savings). With the Kohls card you will receive % off coupons often. If you can - wait for the 30%, it's the best.

2. Look for other Kohls coupons that stack. They often come in the mail with Kohls ad. I have also found them in the newspaper, as a door hanger at home and even on a dry cleaning bag. Keep your eyes open, they can pop up anywhere.

3. Check out the sales/clearances racks first.

4. Pay attention to Kohls Cash and Bounce Back cash events. During these times, you will receive $10 coupons to use on a return visit (specific dates apply).  Kohls Cash is advertised and you have to spend $50 (pre-tax) to qualify but Bounce Back cash, I haven't quite figured out. It's just randomly there sometimes and I'm not sure if there's a minimum purchase requirement (I will ask next time unless someone here knows and wants to share)

Check out what I bought today! Boys athletic shorts, 2 boys athletic tees, 1 Hanes tee, 1 Super Mario tee and 1 So! shirt for mommy (I love these shirts, I have them in several colors).

Fila Shorts Clearance $7.80

Hawk Performance tee  Sale $4.00

Fila Performance tee   Clearance $7.80

Hanes solid tee  Sale $6.99 or 2@$12

Super Mario tee - 8.99 

So! tee - 5.99 

Factor in my 30% off coupon and another coupon I received in my monthly mailer for $10 off $25 kids appareal and guess how much I spent? Only $23.80 and I received $10 Bounce Back cash so it was more like spending $14 on all this! I can't even find deals like that at thrift stores. I did this by following the steps I mentioned above... and you can too!

Find a Kohls near you.

Please note online prices are often very different than store prices.

Whats the best deal you've gotten lately?
