While at Kohl’s this week, I was at the sock display and picked up a little rebate form. It said spend $60 on Gold toe socks and get a free $25 gas card. Or buy $35 worth of socks and get a $10 gas card. It didn’t take me long to get $60 in socks. I mean, there are 7 people in my family, and oddly enough, they all seem to need socks ALL the time. So, I picked up some socks (some of which were on sale, even) for my family. At the register, I had her ring up just the socks, so that I could be sure I had enough, but not too many socks. Plus, I wanted that receipt that I could send in and not have anything but socks on that one receipt. What do you know, I had too many. Take away that last package of socks, and my total for 7 packages of socks came to $60.75 before tax.
I know you might think that spending $60 on socks is strange, but now I’ve got “stocking stuffers” (Ha ha!, get it?) for my family for Christmas, and I’ll hopefully have a $25 gas card to also use for Christmas.
I don’t know if this rebate form will be found anywhere else, or if it’s just in Kohl’s, but it is good for purchases made until 10/21/08, and if you had a coupon or one of those other deals that Kohl’s is always doing, you can save even more!
Well, I finally ventured out to Penneys at South Town Mall today and shopped for 2 hours. It ended up that I paid $120 for clothes valued at $335. I got a winter coat, two nice jackets and a bra, all at 50% off. Plus they gave you more money off if you had purchases over $75. Wow! I saved $215. I sure do wish we had a Penneys store closer. Or a Kohls.
