Sometimes, the best things in life can be a love-hate relationship... right? I mean, back in high school, I swam for my high school swim team, and let me just tell you - I definitely had a love-hate relationship with the sport.
Most of the time, I loved attending practice, spending time with my teammates, and competing at the meets, but other times.... well, it was a struggle. From the countless hours of practice every single day to waking up at 4 AM in the morning to jump in ice-cold water.... some parts of it weren't so glamorous.
My Thoughts Exactly about Kohl's Clearance...
What do I mean? Well, let me share some positives about why I LOVE Kohl's clearance, and then, I'll share some reasons why I would walk away from shopping the Kohl's clearance racks...
Reasons Why Kohl's Clearance is Amazing:
- There are So Many Hidden Deals You Can't Find Anywhere Else
- One of my favorite things about Kohl's clearance is stuff is sometimes discounted up to 80 or even 90% off! Almost no other stores near me EVER still have stuff left when their clearance is discounted to that high of a percentage!
- I LOVE hunting for those 80-90% off clearance finds, and when I find them, it's like finding hidden treasure :)
- Use Your Kohl's Cash on Almost ANY Clearance Finds
- If you have Kohl's cash to spend, my first instinct almost always is to hit up the Kohl's clearance racks! You'll get the most bang for your buck by spending your already-earned Kohl's cash on some fantastic clearance!
- Stack your Coupons on Top of Already-Discounted Clearance
- As if being able to use your earned Kohl's cash wasn't good enough, you can also stack coupons on top of those clearance items! That means on top of saving the 80 to 90% off those items, you can use an additional $10 off $25 coupon or extra 20% off your entire purchase (of course, coupons will vary when you go, but those are just examples!)
Reasons Why You Should Walk Away from Kohl's Clearance:
- Plan on Dedicating Half Your Afternoon to Shop
- The first reason I shared why I LOVE Kohl's clearance might be exactly why I share this reason for why you should walk away from Kohl's clearance. What do I mean?
- Yes... if you want to find those hidden clearance gems that are marked at 80 or 90% off, you will need to dedicate a decent amount of time to doing the hunting. I always say, a good rule of thumb is at least a couple hours.
- Although Kohl's clearance has those hidden treasures for you to find, sometimes, it's a huge, overwhelming mess of clothing, and you might want to sort through it all. That's why, if you want to find anything great, you will need to dedicate a solid chunk of your afternoon to shop.
- Sometimes, You Walk Out with Nothing
- It is SUCH a thrill when I walk out with some fabulous clearance finds, and I used my coupons and Kohl's cash on top of those savings.
- But, truthfully, sometimes I walk out with nothing in my hands. I walk out empty-handed after shopping the Kohl's clearance racks.
- There are different reasons why that may be the case... sometimes, nothing catches my eye or isn't at the price point I'd be willing to pay for a particular item. Sometimes, the stuff in the clearance section just isn't what I want.
- It can be frustrating to spend time searching and hunting in the Kohl's clearance section and walk out with nothing. All that time spent, and nothing. Nada.
So... WHY do I share these honest thoughts with y'all? I want to be an open door to sharing the positive AND the negative! Overall, would I encourage you to give Kohl's clearance shopping a try? Of course! But just know, that with the pros come the cons, and you have to figure out which outweighs the other for you!
