14 Secrets You Need to Know Before Shopping Kohl's (2)

1. Maybe (really, maybe) take advantage of theKohl's Credit Card.

Y'all know I amhighly against credit cards, however Kohl's cards offer some incredible perks. Kohl's cardholders frequently get coupon codes for free shipping as well as 30% off codes, which is just higher than the rest of us.

That being said, unless you absolutely-positively-will-never-ever-never-never-never pay that credit card off at the end of the billing cycle, youabsolutely-positively-never-ever-never-never should get one.In our family we just don't do store credit cards, but I'm content with my savings without a Kohl's card and it makes my husband less stressed. (He just doesn't like extra bills in the mail, and the value of that is worthmissing a deal or two for our family!)

3. Never (ever) buy anything at Kohl's without a sale.

Kohl's just about always offers a sale on every single item in the store, so I don't think it would (ever?) be worth paying full price for anything when you're there as they tend to overprice items and then offer sales regularly.

When shopping online, you can use up to four coupon codes per order.However, if you're shopping from a phone or mobile device you'll only be allowed to use two codes, so shop on a computer to use multiple codes. You can only use one percentage off your entire order coupon on each order.
