We moved to Florida five years ago to a town that didn’t have a Kohl’s. I was astounded. Where else did people buy heavily discounted adorable clothes? How did they find budget clothes?
We were so desperate for a Kohl’s that we drove almost two hours to Jacksonville just to shop. Ridiculous, huh? Luckily, a kohls was built locally an I could continue my shopping for budget clothes.
My love affair with Kohls is old, deep and unending. Every time I walk in the doors, 30% coupon in hand, I get a rush of adrenaline. Finding new styles, budget clothes and saving money is to me like meth is to a meth addict, or newspapers are to hoarders, or like cats to crazy cat ladies. Saving money is an addiction and I don’t even have to lose all my teeth or smell like cat piss all the time.
When I see that 80% off rack at Kohl’s my heart beats faster. I’ve found so many great outfits there, in addition to purchasing budget clothes that are outside my style comfort zone for very little money. For instance, he green sequin top I wore out to dinner on New Years Eve:
It’s Jlo brand. I’m Amanda from the ‘burbs.
Kohls prices are so great, especially when you hit the clearance racks. You can almost always find something great on Kohl’s clearance instead of picked-over junk that’s too big or too small (like clearance racks everywhere else — I’m looking at you, Forever 21.)
Budget Clothes Shopping Tips
- Wait for a sale. Kohl’s regularly has clearance sales, door busters and seasonal sales, and they are well publicized.
- Sign up for the mailing list. You’ll get discounts and coupons all the time.
- Get a kohl’s card. Normally I don’t like store card or encourage anyone to sign up for one, but as a Kohl’s card holder, you get super deep discounts regularly. Many of these coupons can be used on clearance items. Bonus!
- Take your time browsing racks. It can look overwhelming, but there are cute budget clothes if you look. I like to pick things I like, then weed them out after I’ve grazed the aisles.
- Unless it’s something you can’t live without, wait till it goes on sale.
Ok, mama, I know. You don’t want to spend money on yourself because you have a little one, right? Stop right now. Turn that train of thought right around. Kohl’s budget clothes are so great that you can buy something for yourself and your little guy & girl! Have a Mom and Tot day and have a little left to spare. Kohls just launched a great online tool to help you browse for toys for your little ones based on age — so shopping online for toys is super easy.
I want you to experience the amazingness that is a Kohl’s sale and check out toys for your kids while you’re at it. Pamper yourself to some budget clothes and treat your babies — on me! I’m giving away a $50 Kohl’s giftcard! Check out the Rafflecopter form below for ways to enter. The giveaway will end on Saturday, 2/9 at midnight!
I was provided the $50 gift card from Kohl’s, but the opinions are all mine. Kohl’s does not assume any responsibility with for this giveaway.





























I was without a Kohl’s for three years when we moved. I was in withdrawl. But now we have one! I’d buy myself(b/c my boys already have enough) some sweaters to get through the last of the cold here in NC.

Love a fun trendy piece! sequin tank or a cropped jacket – maybe even a fun accessory! I’d love to snatch up some dress pants for my boys or even a cute skirt for my daughter!
The sequins were new to me. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go there, but I’m so glad I did! Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog and I’m a regular reader of your refashioning!
I love Kohl’s too.

I love their sweaters. Cheap (as in cost) but not cheap (as in falling apart after 2 washes).

I LOVE Kohl’s! They are my go to place. I can find something to buy nearly every time I go. Plus, their Home Classics flannel sheets that I got at Christmas? AMAZING. Soooo good. They blew the crap out of the ones from JCP. Heck, they blow JCP away in every aspect!
I love Kohl’s. I love their discount racks even more! I’d buy myself some cute clothes. My son would want toys and my daughter would want shoes. They’re her addiction.

Kohl’s is one of the few stores with a decent Petites selection – so I would definitely shop the clearance rack for myself to see how much I could get for $50. Love that I can generally get an entire outfit for that much at Kohl’s! And my girls love to shop there too
