\"Kohl's\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for the best deals before your next trip to Kohl’s? We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

Five Best:<\/span><\/h3>\n

1. Small Kitchen Appliances (Magic Bullet, Waffle Makers, Keurig)<\/h4>\n

More focused with online sales rather than in-store savings, this is the product category we on sale most often on Ben’s. Kohl\u2019s typically offers greater discounts than other retailers.<\/p>\n

\"kohls-small-appliances\"<\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

2. Towels, Bedding, Rugs, Linens, General Home Decor<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"bedding\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

3. Outdoor Kids’ Items (Mini-Pools, Inflatable Water Parks)<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

4. Adult Apparel (Logo t-shirts, Work Clothes)<\/h4>\n

While we recommend avoiding adult apparel at regular retail prices, the savings in the clearance section when combined with coupons is tremendous.<\/p>\n

\"Kohls4-clothing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5. Apparel Accessories (Purses, Sterling Jewelry, Gloves)<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Five Worst:<\/span><\/h3>\n

1. Kid’s Toys \/ Apparel<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Toy-section-kohls\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. Electronics (TVs and Small Electronics)<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

3. Shoes<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"kohls-sneakers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

4. Furniture<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5. Wrapping paper, Greeting Cards, Gift Bags<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n
