Back to School Shopping!

Back to school. It’s all that seems to be on my mind lately. With 4 days left to go, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little panicked. I also have felt very unprepared in this whole process. Since I was homeschooled, I don’t really know what to tell Cooper to expect or things I need to prepare him for. 


The one thing I knew I would be good at, is the back to school shopping. I can shop with the best of ’em and I love a good deal. A few weeks back, Kohl’s gave me the challenge of going back to school shopping at their stores, documenting my finds and more importantly, my savings. 




I’ve always been a big Kohl’s fan, so I’m no stranger to their amazing deals. The deals I got during our 2 trips blew me away. Here’s the breakdown: 

The whole trip was basically one big excitement-fest. Cooper was running all over the store with his own cart, shrieking over everything that had a character on it. He also loved trying clothes on in the dressing room! I don’t think he’s actually ever done it! 

After about 2 hours, we had tons of stuff and headed home. We got lots of clothes, underwear, socks, pjs, a hat, sunglasses and even a backpack and lunchbox. Which are adorable, right? I was very pleased with Kohl’s selection. They had the characters Cooper wanted and the more fashionable ones I wanted for him. We ended up with a great balance of the two, I think. 

After sorting through stuff with dad, we realized we didn’t get shoes! We also decided he needed another pair of jeans and a few more dressier shirts. Oh and something for me to wear to open house. Hehe. I absolutely adore these little Nikes that he got. The hubs was happy, since he’s a bit of a brand snob, that Kohl’s carries lots of great brands. 

So what were the deals? Well, I had a 15% off coupon that I got in my email just for being on Kohl’s mailing list. Then it was Kohl’s cash time during the first trip, so I got $40, which I spent on the second trip. I saved a TON. 

Total spent: $358.27
Total saved: $481.92


That’s just over 57% off everything! A fantastic deal in my book! I got pretty much everything Cooper needs for the school year, outside of a jacket/winter sweaters. If he even ends up needing those here, I’ll be headed back to Kohl’s!
