The Trials of a Busy Mom

No, it’s not coat weather anymore

I have to mention my latest bargain find. I went to return a few things at Kohl’s, and since they had been nice enough to send me a 30% off coupon, I did a little bit of shopping around. In the clearance racks, of course. I found some jeans for kids at $4.99, and a skirt for picky Megan that was 50% off, but the great one, the one that made my heart go pitter patter, was this one.

I know this is a tiny little picture. It’s the only one I can find online. But this coat, which was originally priced at $160 (cough, cough), was 90% off. Yes, that was a Nine, Zero. So, the coat was priced at $16.00. Wow! But it gets better. With my 30% discount, that coat was $11.20.

A-hem. Can I get a little high five from my friends?

Hopefully I will not be NEEDING this coat for quite some time. Hopefully we have seen the last of the winter weather and I can wear my nice Spring jackets. I will tuck this coat in the closet for next fall, when I can pull it out and rejoice again at my shrewd shopping skillz, and be happy to have a new coat. I will leave the price tag on, of course, so that in the dreary months of October and November, when I lament that fact that I have to get the coats out, I can pull this out, and say, “Hey, I have a new coat! And LOOK, I only paid Eleven dollars for it!” (Although it doesn’t say eleven dollars on the price tag. It only says $16 on the price tag. But I think I’ll remember. And if I don’t, you can remind me.)

    There’s nothing like the high of finding a bargain. Unless, of course, it’s finding a bargain on something you actually need. Congratulations on the super sifting of the clearance rack!

    That’s really cute. So with the red one and now this one, I’d say you probably have enough. Although I’m always in the market for another jacket myself. Too bad I can’t squeeze them all into the coat closet.
