Looking for the best deals before your next trip to Kohl’s? We’ve identified some of the best product categories that you can find on sale at Kohl’s as well as some of the worst that you will want to avoid. These picks are based on average discounts as well as the potential for additional coupons used in the transaction.

Five Best:

1. Small Kitchen Appliances (Magic Bullet, Waffle Makers, Keurig)

More focused with online sales rather than in-store savings, this is the product category we on sale most often on Ben’s. Kohl’s typically offers greater discounts than other retailers.

Look to stack coupons on these items and add bonus savings with a rebate (Example: 20% off any order coupon + $10 off $30 or more Home coupon + a $20 rebate.)

2. Towels, Bedding, Rugs, Linens, General Home Decor

Look for the best sales on Kohl’s store brand products, then combine those sales with stacked coupons with dollar-off codes on the Home category.

Consider purchasing multiple items to reach the dollar-off coupon minimums. (Example, a recent deal offered 16 of Kohl’s “Big One” bath towels for $36 using stacking coupons; just over $2 per towel.)

3. Outdoor Kids’ Items (Mini-Pools, Inflatable Water Parks)

Similar to small kitchen appliances, these deals are more plentiful online rather than in-store. Look for the bonus addition of Kohl’s Cash on the higher-priced items, ideal for your next trip to Kohl’s.

4. Adult Apparel (Logo t-shirts, Work Clothes)

While we recommend avoiding adult apparel at regular retail prices, the savings in the clearance section when combined with coupons is tremendous.

Specifically, look for the best deals on men’s graphic t-shirts, Dockers slacks and Big & Tall sizes for men as well as women’s underwear / lingerie.

5. Apparel Accessories (Purses, Sterling Jewelry, Gloves)

As long as you aren’t a brand snob, Kohl’s offers excellent prices on quality purses and gloves (often made from real leather). You are also going to find more aggressive sales on sterling silver jewelry when compared to competitors like Macy’s or JC Penney.

Five Worst:

1. Kid’s Toys / Apparel

Unfortunately, Kohl’s is one of the worst retailers to find a significant discount on toys. Retail prices are inflated on toys; thus coupons don’t have much of an impact. Look to Target and Walmart for better deals in-store as well as Amazon for online deals.

The same advice applies to children’s apparel as the base MSRP starts too high for solid sales. For example, Kohl’s sell Carter’s brand of baby and toddler clothing. You are better off going directly to Carter’s for significantly cheaper prices during sale periods.

2. Electronics (TVs and Small Electronics)

Likely an attempt to become more relevant around the Black Friday shopping period, Kohl’s does carry some electronics. Unfortunately, the quality of the off-brand TV models is poor and Kohl’s doesn’t often allow coupons on other small electronics. Prices are usually better at any number of electronic retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon.

3. Shoes

While Kohl’s occasionally offers decent sale prices on lower-end Nike sneakers, these cheaper models are usually poorer quality than models that can be found in a specialized shoe store.

In addition, other brands that Kohl’s carries are lacking in quality. You are typically better off shopping at retailers like Nordstrom Rack and 6pm.

4. Furniture

Retail prices on Kohl’s furniture offerings are usually too high for coupons to have a significant impact on dropping the cost for the consumer. In addition, shipping charges are exorbitant on oversized items, pushing the price tag up even more. Alternatively, look to retailers like Target, IKEA and Walmart for better prices on furniture that’s of similar quality.

5. Wrapping paper, Greeting Cards, Gift Bags

In general, it’s never a good idea to purchase these items at retailers like Kohl’s. You will be paying a premium for these items simply due to the convenience. As long as you have time, hit up a dollar store for significantly better prices.

Five Best & Five Worst Things to Buy at Kohl’s

Likely attempting to help clothing manufacturers get rid of additional inventory of summer clothing due to the closure of retail locations, the online retail giant has set a June 22 date for a “Fashion Summer Sale Event” that will last through the end of the month.

In a letter to retail participants, an Amazon spokesperson wrote “The Big Style Sale is slated to take place later this month and will include seasonally-relevant deals from both established and smaller fashion brands.” According to additional details, Amazon has asked sellers to submit deals on clothing that have a minimum discount of 30 percent off MSRP. Amazon made no indication if the sale would be restricted to Prime subscribers only.

It’s likely that this type of large sale wouldn’t even exist if Prime Day hadn’t been postponed from early July to September. Amazon is currently attempting to restock inventory for a mid-Fall Prime Day sale, basically allowing time for supply lines to return to normal as coronavirus issues have broken the supply chain. Amazon has had issues keeping non-essential items in stock as well as delivering items within a promised 2-day window.

Amazon’s previous push into fashion included the launch of the Echo Look during 2017, a camera that gave owners fashion advice using artificial intelligence. This device has been discontinued though. It will be remotely disabled on July 24, 2020 and owners can recycle the hardware for free here. Much of the functionality of the Echo Look can be found within the Amazon Shopping app, basically using a smartphone camera for getting fashion tips on style.

Amazon also launched Prime Wardrobe a few years ago, a service that lets Prime users try up to 8 clothing items for up at a 7-day trial period. Users can return anything that they don’t like using a free, prepaid label and will only be charged for what they keep. There’s also a $5-a-month personal shopper option that will send curated picks to you automatically to try out.

Amazon plans summer clothing sale for June 22

Few holidays lend themselves to featuring t-shirts with clever sayings, obnoxious sayings, and everything in between better than St. Patrick’s Day. With that in mind we’ve come up with our list of the best St. Patrick’s Day t-shirts.

Sure, we could have compiled a list of rude sayings on these green t-shirts. (If someone shows up at your St. Patrick’s Day party with a t-shirt that says “póg mo thóin,” for example, go ahead and feel offended.) And you can count on seeing plenty of St. Patrick’s Day t-shirts featuring President Trump saying odd things this year.

Instead, we decided to steer clear of all of those things. Hopefully you’ll find our list of the top St. Patrick’s Day t-shirts more clever than disgusting.

Kiss Me, I’m Lucky

If you prefer not to follow the crowd when it comes to your t-shirt sayings, “Kiss me, I’m lucky,” will set you apart from all of the, “Kiss me, I’m Irish,” t-shirts you’re sure to see while bar hopping on St. Patrick’s Day. For a further differentiating factor, you don’t have to stick with basic green with this t-shirt slogan. It’s available in 10 colors, including three different shades of green.

Accio Beer

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll appreciate the “Accio Beer” t-shirt for St. Patrick’s Day. In the Harry Potter series, the wizards and witches use the accio spell to summon an object. And what’s better to summon on St. Patrick’s Day than a frosty beer? Even Muggles can wear this t-shirt.

Paddy’s Irish Pub

Fans of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia TV comedy will give you plenty of credit for wearing this t-shirt to your St. Patrick’s Day night out. Paddy’s Irish Pub is the fictional South Philadelphia bar that the show’s characters own and run unsuccessfully. (And if your friends don’t know the show, your Paddy’s Irish Pub t-shirt will be a great way to introduce it to them.)

I (Shamrock) Shenanigans

When you want to have a t-shirt that hints at an improper slogan but doesn’t come out and smack you over the head with it, the “I (Shamrock) Shenanigans” t-shirt works well. Shenanigans is a word that sounds leprechauny (I know that’s not a word, but stick with me for a little longer), making it great for this holiday.

And the meaning of the word shenanigans is just ambiguous enough that you’ll spark the reader’s imagination. Trust me: Those who read St. Patrick’s Day shirts that say things like “Fit Shaced” or “Luck You” don’t need to use their imagination.

Drinks Well With Others

Want to let others know you’re friendly after you’ve had a few drinks? The “Drinks Well With Others” t-shirt is the way to go, providing a clever play on the “works well with others” evaluation you may receive from your boss during an annual review.

Lucky Charms

When you’re looking for the best St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt, why not stick with the most famous leprechaun around, Lucky, from the Lucky Charms cereal? With this character, your shirt will appeal to plenty of different people you encounter on this holiday, including those who loved the cereal as kids (or as adults) and those who love vintage-looking t-shirts that actually are new. And if you need more of a kid-friendly, non-alcohol-related t-shirt for St. Patrick’s Day, this is the one.

The weather is warmer, the beach is calling and suddenly you realize – it’s time to go bathing suit shopping. It’s a painful process, but I’m going to go ahead and make it easier for you. Get yourself one of the incredible swimsuits from Black Milk’s Star Wars Collection and be done with it.

Pick a suit based on a specific character like the C-3PO, Darth Vader or R2-D2 bathing suits seen below, or make a selection from the swimsuits that feature movie scenes if cosplay at the beach isn’t your jam. Other suits in the collection feature AT-ATs, Han Solo, Vader’s mug, the lightsaber battle between Luke and Vader, Vader reaching out for a sweet Force Choke and Jedi Master Yoda.

The suits are all one piece, so they’re modest but cut in a way as to not be dowdy. Don’t worry, you’ll still be turning heads… those of every geek on the beach.
