Hi Collin! I wanted to share this awesome deal going on at Kohls (not sure if it’s local as I live in PA but it’s definitely worth mentioning!). Clearance was an extra 40% off plus I had 30% mailer coupon which came with a $5 off coupon too!! I got 2 pairs of knee high leather boots, 1 pair kids OshKosh boots, 4 adult shirts, 4 kids shirts, 2 exercise headbands, 3 undie and cami sets, a ceramic mug, 2 boxes of Valentines, a bra, 4 wax melt packs and $10 Kohl’s Cash for my next purchase!!! Happy shopping!!

I went to Kohl’s today knowing they were having additional 20% off clearance. To my surprise, it was 40% clearance!

(Thanks, Jacquelyn and Lisa!)

    Oh man. I was just there yesterday and trusted the 20% off signs. I should have price checked something. Lol. Like I’m not spending enough there already…

  2. Judy Trac

    I went yesterday and all I saw was the prices went up

    • Jennine

      For clearance?

    • Kelly

      I was in yesterday. I got 2 pair of pants for my son and a ninja turtle ball for a total of $2.08 with the $5 off coupon. I thought the clearance prices were high to start with. 40 percent off? Clearance use to start at 60 percent off. Lots to look through but you can find some clearance marked 70-90. Then with the extra 40 percent off and coupons it can be a great deal if you need it.

  3. Cbeths

    Kohls question… I got a $10 off $30 in my email that starts the 10th. How much would I have to spend to combine that with the $10 off $30 baby? $40 or $60?

    • Heather

      I was just there and yes the coupon worked with clearance. Mine was only 20

    • Alena

      $40

  4. Jessica

    My Kohls had the additional 40% of clearance! I’m going back today!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome! Happy Shopping!

  5. Jacquie

    Mine has up to 75% off . And I used my 30% and my 5.00 🙂 2 dollars for a 38 dollar bra .

  6. Chas

    40% of clearance yesterday in southern Indiana too!

    • Julie

      I’m going to check it out tomorrow and return my busted candle that was shipped to me. Thanks

  7. Kristie

    Murfreesboro, TN is also extra 40% off clearance! I got my kids three Discovery Kids fort building sets for $12 each (but also had some reward dollars and coupons so didn’t actually pay $12 per set) and some Star Wars dinnerware for $3! Also snagged some stuffed animal and throw sets for birthday gifts of Star Wars and Frozen for about $7 each.

    • Just Me

      Did not like those forts

    • Rachel

      We got this for my son and he loves it! Definitely takes a grown up to build the examples, but it’s well built.

    • Erin

      My kids like the forts well enough, but it is tricky to get the “sticks” into the “balls” solidly. The structures end up very wobbly. You definitely need more than one kit to build anything worthwhile, but you sacrifice stability a bit with bigger structures. I got two sets for $3 apiece at JC Penney’s a couple years ago. They definitely got $6 worth of use, but I wouldn’t purchase them again, even at that price.

  8. Elaine

    It was only 20% yesterday at my Kohl’s.

  9. Kevin Martin

    My store is up to 85%off plus an extra 40% off all clearance and I live in Bloomington Normal Illinois. I scored great deals.

  10. Haseena

    I was at a local store in Long Island, NY this past Friday and clearance was marked at 85% off, I only checked kids clothes and there were amazing deals combined with the $10 off $30 purchase coupon. I paid $15 for over $110 of clothes.

  11. em

    My store was an additional 40% off clearance as well!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet!

  12. mary

    I purchased 6 mens dress shirts, 6 golf shirts 1 pair mens dress pants, womans shirt ,2 mens ties and eyebrow kit for $101.00 plus $20 Kohls cash! Saved $400!

  13. Laura

    Their prices are sooooo over inflated! I just laugh when they tell me how much I saved. Really? Who in their right mind is going to pay $12 for a washcloth?? No – we wait for a sale with coupons etc.

    • Kristie

      They’re terrible with high regular prices. Nobody in their right mind would pay what’s on the tags there.

      • Emulvey2001

        That’s why there’s a class action lawsuit against Kohls. They boast savings opportunities off of prices that were NEVER charged. They’re not the only store that does it or marks up prices just in time for a sale, but definitely one of the worst offenders. (And yes, I do shop there – Like you guys, I take their “original” prices with a large grain of salt).

        • Erin

          So true! I rarely shop at Kohls since my husband discovered their blatant price gouging a few years ago. He wanted to buy new towels, so he had been price checking a number of stores. He finally decided on Kohls when they went buy one, get one. When he went to the store, he discovered that they raised the regular price–even though tags with the original, lower MSRP were sewn into the towels. He went next door and bought towels at Target.

          • Brie

            Yes! This bothers me too. Fine if you we a to have prices, but to put stickers over the original barcode and change the recommended price…that’s over the top! But they DO price match and will often let you use a coupon too (but depends on who you get!)

    • Bethany

      I think it’s important to know their sales set up. Some stores have lower prices in general and that’s how they bring people in the door. Other stores rely on large sales to bring people in the door. Gap switched over to a large sale type model too. That’s why I laugh at all the emails I get from them. Anything less than 50% off is a “regular” price in that store!

  14. Erika

    In Michigan it was an extra 40% off stacked with the 10 off 30 kids, and the extra 30% I got 25 items for 80 bucks, including 3 pairs of shoes!!

  15. Liz

    My kohls has been at additional 40% off for about 2 weeks now. Awesome deals!
    New Albany Indiana.

  20. michelle

  21. Pj

    I just saved over $160.00 there the other day! The cashier was shocked that I got a really nice pair of black jeans for $2.00!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great score! 🙂

  22. Kara

    Clearance was an extra 40% off in Evansville, IN too! I combine with my 30% off, $5 coupon, and $10 off $30 kids apparel. Got 11 pairs of pants for my kiddos for next winter and only spent $11.23!!

    • Julie

      That’s where I shop too. Thanks for the heads up Kara!

  23. Lisa

    I went yesterday knowing it be 20% but instead shocked to see 40%. This is southern CA. This is the first time I actually spent 3 hours in the store. Bought 4 men’s dress pants, Dana Buchman top, 2 bras, panty, necklace for $75. Used $10 intimate, $5, 30%. I did not expect 40% so am hoping they will credit $10 coupon on men’s wear.

  24. breezy

    I felt like I robbed them a couple days ago. Spent $361 and saved $993. Great deals!

  25. Maile

    I’m also in So. Cal. and picked up great deals on everything! 2 of my stores had the add’l 40% and one was still at 20%. Some really cute home decor w/ major discounts. They also had women’s pants and capris for $1.50-1.75. Crazy!

  26. Christy

    We just got 8 individual pieces of Samsonite luggage for around $800 and we got $180 back in Kohls cash. The luggage was on clearance and then with the extra 40% off it was an incredible deal. The bottom of my receipt says “Total Saved $2729.67”!!!!!!!!

  27. Christine

    I did this last Thursday, 40% off clearance and 30% coupon. Still spent $320! +Got $60 Kohls cash back and $15 in rewards points.

  28. Janet

    Clearance was 40% off yesterday in Fairfield, OH. Using $5 coupon, $5 yes reward, and 30% off coupon, I got a Carters’s 3 piece outfit (pants, onesie, and jacket) for $1.13. Love these deals!

  29. Stacy

    In Boise & Nampa, ID clearance is 20% off but I heard in Meridian, ID its 40% off. I guess it has to do with their inventory.

  30. Bev

    The guy ahead of me at the check-out spent a little over $12, and saved $487!!! I agree, their original prices are way out of line, but it makes your savings look good! 😉

  31. Julia

    Houston, TX?

    • Daphne

      Yes, the one I went to did.

      • Julia

        Thanks

  32. Chantel Chapman

    The 40% off is off the already reduced price marked. So I got some items that were $6 for example. After the additional 40% off they were only $3.80. I got $175 worth of kid’s clothes for less than $7 using $15 in mvc rewards I was sent and a $10 gift I got in the mail. Can’t beat that. I am in San Antonio.

  33. Kelsey

    My kohls has their clearance racks 85% off or more plus an additional 40% off! I shipped the juniors racks the other day and got 5 shirts and 2 sweatshirts for $12! I got a 30% off coupon, $10 off $30 for juniors apparel, and had a $5 off coupon that came in the mail. So exciting!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome!

  34. Toni

    My local Kohl’s have this sale going on too! The signs are red and say up to 85% off, when you take an additional 40% off (taken at the register). The sign is a bit confusing I’m sure to many shoppers who don’t read the small print. I went last week and again yesterday. My sister came with me yesterday as well. I added the current “SUNNY” promo code to my wallet on my phone for an additional 30% off. I have a Kohl’s charge and my sister does not, but the cashier let her use the code on my wallet just fine and didn’t say she couldn’t, so she got 30% off her 40% off clearance purchase too 🙂

  35. SummerSun

    Is the extra 40% off clearance taken at checkout? Or will it ring up discounted price at store scanner?

    • Janet

      It will show up on the store scanner.

  36. Amy

    I just went to my metro Detroit kohls and it was still only 20%. Bummer. I’m jealous!

    • happy

      I went yesterday to a metro Detroit Kohls and it was 40 percent.

  37. Rachel

    I just called my store to find out if I should pack the kids up and head over or not. The lady I spoke with said the extra % off of clearance amount varied, based on the price of the product. ??? I’ve never heard of them doing that before. I was hoping for a simple answer of 40%! 😀

    • Erin

      I don’t think she understood your question. 🙂 Or perhaps how percentages work.

    • happy

      Items in the metro Detroit area up to 85 percent off plus an additional 40 percent off.

  38. Shannon

    Ours has had an additional 40% off for 2 weeks. I saved over $600 and only spent $60!! Definitely worth the search found Chaps shorts for my husband for $3

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Wow! Awesome savings Shannon!

  39. Cathy

    Went Friday morning, Northern CA, still only 20% off clearance. Many of the items were still on their first markdown and they had tons of baby/toddler clearance. Clerk didn’t seem to know (or wouldn’t say) when it might go lower. Had a 10 off 30, 30% off and free $5 so got some good deals. Still hoping it will go lower.

  40. Teetee

    Rochester ny area had 85% clearance. A ton! And there were a ton of people in there! I waiting in line 33 minutes, but after shopping the clearance racks for over an hour I figured why not wait? Great deals, kids, juniors, men’s, womens, shoes, everything! And the 10 off 30 coupons ……deals deals deals. The funniest was listening to the people in line and the people walking up to find the end of there line! 🙂 talk bad all you want about kohls, but if you know what you should be paying for something and then there are clearance on top of discounts….you just have to know how to use the coupons they have. Thanks COLLIN!

  41. Lacey

    On Thursday I got a pair of jeans, a set of flannel Star Wars sheets, Olaf sheets and a matching Olaf comforter for $31.xx after discounts and including tax. ‘Saved’ $188 off retail. My store had the additional 40% off. Something I bought a couple weeks ago that they still had was Frozen (Anna & Elsa, pink & purple) shower curtain hook set on clearance for $2.49 (reg $24.99) before any additional discounts. Lots of great clearance finds left at my store.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Glad to hear you were able to score so many great deals Lacey! Thanks for sharing!

  42. Dana

    My 18 yr old son was needing some more pants I went in last night and found him a pair of Columbia khakis reg $50 marked down to $5, then 40% off that, THEN 20% off coupon. Yeah that was awesome ❤️

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Super great deal Dana!

  46. Kelly

    I had a great experience at my kohls in Georgia. Clearance was marked 70-85% off with the additional 40% at the register. I had a 30% off and found a $10 off $30 on kids clothes online and was able to use that all to get 15 pieces of clothing for my son for next season.

  47. Cyndi

    I just spent $180 and saved $467 plus I got $30 in Kohls Cash. I was siked.

  48. Chris

    Not all stores have the 40% off. In my town, one of the two stores has an extra 40% and the other has an extra 20%. I would call before you go. Plus you can stack the dollar off coupons with the additional 30% for cardholders (or 20% or 15% depending on what you got in the mail). There are also some in ad coupons.

  49. Mella

    Only extra 20% off NorCal
