I just had to share my little experience I had recently with Kohl's department store. I'm one for savings a few bucks, I think we all are, so I decided to wake up early the day after Christmas and go to Kohl's to get some deals on needed items. I had been the previous year and made out really well. So I woke up and headed out about 9am, (sale lasts usually from 6am-12pm) and was happy to see that practically everything was deeply discounted. I ended up with 5 items I really wanted and spent only 9 over my intended cap of $100. On my receipt I was told I spent $109 and saved $61.64. That's some savings!
However, I happened to be in Kohl's for something else the week after new year's and saw things I had previously bought even more discounted. I came home, grabbed my receipt, (I make it a habit to hold on to my clothing receipts, the rest I tend to pitch right away), and went back to the store to see if I could get the difference in price back. I waited in the return line, which can take forever during the holiday season, but it was worth it. Things were so discounted I got $46 back from my original purchase. Now let's do the math, shall we....
Originally Spent $109
Cash back for Difference $46
Final Total Spent on 5 items = $63
Total Savings = $107.64!!!
The moral of this story, at least specific to Kohl's, is that their sales the week-of and week-after new year's are better than the day after Christmas sales.
