Well I thought I was all done with my pre-Christmas shopping but then a friend at work told me that Kohl’s had their Jansport backpacks on clearance so I had to make another trip back today and boy did I score! These backpacks all retail for between $59 and $89 but I got them on clearance today for between $4.80 and $12.80, PLUS I got to use a 30% off coupon AND I got $10 back in Kohl’s Cash. I saved a whopping $375.41 and that doesn’t even include the $10 Kohl’s cash. With five kids I seem to spend a small fortune on backpacks for back to school each year so I’m thrilled to have stocked them up for next year at these bargain prices.
While I was at Kohl’s I also picked up a few more of gift items on doorbuster prices to put in the gift closet for use during the year. I love to pick up awesome gift sets of things like lip balm, makeup, games, wallets and the like because most department stores have a huge assortment during the holidays at greatly reduced prices that you can’t get during the rest of the year. Simply planning ahead a little bit for birthday gifts, teacher gifts and maybe even a few things you’ll need for yourself you can save a bundle by combining sale prices, coupons and cash back offers.
What are your favorite holiday shopping tips?

Wow! That’s amazing! I love Kohl’s
I shop year round for gifts. I’ll be hitting some of the stores this week for the after Christmas sales.
Holy Moly! That’s a fantastic score. My boys go through at least 2 backpacks each per school year.
Love Kohl’s. usually I keep an eye out all years for sales on things I know will make a great gift.
I may be slightly addicted to Kohl’s 😉
Thanks Chris! I’m still excited, it’s always so expensive to hook the kids up with quality backpacks!
Thank you for sharing. We are on a fixed income and this is how I get for Christmas for next year
That is awesome! I love when I can find a great bargain that I can stock up on items that can be used as gifts!
Thanks Kerri! Me too! My goal is always to save where I can so I can spend where I want to (or have to depending on the month)
