Bargain of the Day
TV ClubHouse: Archive: Bargain of the Day
Cathie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 09:33 pm     I thought it was time for a bargain thread--have you ever been so excited over a bargain that you want to share the joy!!! My bargain today was a $84 dress with jacket that I bought for $12.24! Not out of season, not damaged, just a great sale!!! Kohl's had a 50% off sale today, and I had a 15% off coupon in the mail from them yesterday. The dress (fall colors, green, tan and purple print) and jacket (purple) were already marked down to $48. Instead of 50% off, it was 70% off of the already marked down price, $14.40, and then my 15% coupon lowered it to $12.24. They always have great sales, and I really don't see how they stay in business, but I'm glad they do! In fact, the sales clerk offered me the coupon back in case I wanted to use it any more today. I told her I was through shopping (I had also bought a $98 three piece pant suit for $41.65 and a $59 set of jersey knit king size sheets/pillowcases for $25.97.) The lady behind me in line jokingly asked if she could have the coupon and the sales clerk said sure, so she got the extra 15% off, too. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:05 pm     WOW! We have a new Kohls here in town, I am going to have to check them out! I've never been to one. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:14 pm     we don't have a kohls anywhere in central california that i know of...but we must, cause we got the ice cream man commercial that dd loved! we have Ross- dress for less, but not sure that's anything the same. now i'll have to google kohl's! i love bargains. the last bargain i got, i can't even enjoy! there are some new frozen mexican hors d'oeuvres (quesadillas and taquitos) that are $3.99, but on sale for 2.99 to introduce them...and when i went through the display, i found some in the back rows that had instant $2 savings on them. so i got the 3.99 items for 99cents apiece. can't wear them, though. well, actually, i could probably spill them on my shirt! when we go to a certain mexican restaurant i ALWAYS spill salsa. the one time i didn't, i was shocked and impressed. when i got to my car, i went to put on my sunglasses which i had on a string around my neck and lo' and behold, there was salsa sitting inside my sunglasses! i want to see cathie's new outfit!! |
Cathie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:14 pm     They have only been here for about two years. It's easy to get in and out of at this time of the year--our malls are already bustling with Christmas shoppers! |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:18 pm     googled kohls, and it will let you check out a 200-mile radius; it told me there were none within that distance. zachs, aren't you in so-cal? i wonder how far south of 'central california' they have a location!? |
Cathie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:20 pm     It isn't like Ross, at least not the Ross we have here, which is a discount clothing store. Kohl's reminds me of Mervyn's, but larger and with more variety. Kohl's isn't always 50% off, just on special one day sales about once or twice a month. This one happened to coincide with my 15% coupon, so it was just an extra bonus. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:23 pm     let me check..they have one in Simi Valley, I don't know norther cal cities..lol! |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:26 pm     Shopper here!!! I love Kohl's and there's one very close to my house...isn't that convenient??!! LOL! |
Cathie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:31 pm     Tabby, you can always shop with them online. If you go back to their site and click on the clearance tab you will find some real bargains. I bought some sweaters and turtlenecks at the end of winter last year for less than $5 each. I couldn't find my new dress on their web site but I did find the pants set there, for more than I paid but less than their regular store price: The Link |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:34 pm     That is a beautiful pant suit! and if you spend 75+ you get free shipping! <goes and locks up credit cards!> |
Kaili | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:35 pm     I love Kohls. We used to have Kohls grocery stores too but they seem to have disappeared. I didn't realize how far across the country they had spread though! Wow! My dad said they built a ton of them in Phoenix recently. In case you're confused, they're owned by one of our senators (Herb Kohl). He owns the Milwaukee Bucks too. Our other senator is relatively poor (his debt with his wife's college loans and his kids college tuition outweighs his "value" and he refuses raises and large campaign contributions. A bit of Wisconsin politics for y'all. Back on topic- Kohls has great sales- shoes, kitchen stuff, towels, clothes, I love them. |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:35 pm     another great website to go to, if you like great deals and online shopping is Newport News. |
Cathie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 10:41 pm     Thanks for the link, Zachsmom--now I have to lock up MY credit cards, lol! |
Texannie | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 06:06 am     Another Kohls shopper here!! My kids love it too. I like it cause they have "stylish" but not slutty clothes for my dd! |
Mamie316 | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 07:38 am     We don't have Kohl's here in Northern Calif. But I do know that they are putting one in Visalia where my sister lives. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 07:42 am     we have kohls and i love it but both locations are in areas i can't drive to dammit. |
Lostintheglades | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:03 am     What's a Kohl????? |
Texannie | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:08 am     A store similar to Ross but set up like a department store. |
Kaili | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 08:56 am     A Kohl is a senator in Wisconsin. Or a store similar to Ross but set up like a department store. |
Texannie | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:30 am     GMTA ;) |
Lostintheglades | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Thanks Tex and Kaili...Now Ross I'm familiar with....anything that has "less" in the name is my kind of store. I hate to shop though. I have to laugh every time DH and I go somewhere. He loves shopping and browsing...I'm usually on the bench somewhere waiting with the men who are waiting on their wives. |
Urgrace | Thursday, November 20, 2003 - 09:20 pm     Okeydokey, just thought I'd say that I shopped at a Kohl's in Michigan a year ago and loved it. Got a new blouse, among other things, and as I was wearing the new blouse for the first time the fabric split open. Not in a seam, not in a high stress area or anything, but like the fabric was a hundred years old! Big disappointment. They are building Kohls stores all over Texas now. |
Kaili | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:32 am     I do think their clothing quality has gone down a bit over the years. Most of it is still good, but especially on the Juniors and Misses area. If you aren't shopping the bigger brand names they have there, they can be kind of low quality. I'm actually starting to have a hard time finding clothes I like there because I'm too old for the juniors section clothing and I don't like most of the petites clothes. I love the towels, shoes, coats, frames, and kitchen stuff though! And the underwear/bra clearance! Now, how about TJMaxx? I can find some good stuff now and then for clothes, but I think they're pretty good for gifts. |
