If you have signed up for the "Screaming Penny" newsletter from Pinching Your Pennies, you saw that Kohl's was again having their famous 'Spend $50 get $10 in Kohl's cash' event. They did this a few weeks ago as well and I took FULL advantage!
On our first trip we got the kids some much needed jeans and long-sleeved shirts (things I had to buy anyway). Well, I got busy and almost forgot to use my $20 in Kohls cash!! My hubby didn't get home from work until 9:30 on the night it expired...I was worried...I thought they closed at 10pm. I booked it out of the house so fast thinking I would just pick up a free shirt really quick. Boy was I surprised that they were open until 11!! So I took some extra minutes to peruse the clearance rack in the maternity section. Then I hear the announcement that all clearance items were an ADDITIONAL 20% off that day!!! That's when I turned on the burners, got my serious shopping hat on, and went to town!!
Final tally: 3 maternity shirts, 1 pair of fatty mama pants, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of kid jeans, 2 baby t-shirts, 1 complete jumpsuit for my big girl! I used my $20 Kohl's cash, and a $25 gift card I earned by using MyPoints.com (leave a comment if you would like me to send you an invite to this site).
I spent $42.04 out of my checking account
I SAVED $356.95!!!
You know I do well at the grocery store, but this was RIDICULOUS!!
Just goes to show once you get the 'couponing' mentality, it will transcend into all aspects of your life! Sorry for the long drawn out story, but wasn't it worth it!!!!
