Shopping Hacks for Kohl’s

If you’re a die-hard Kohl’s fan, this blog is for you! Here are 10 Kohl’s shopping hacks to help you save even more.

Read the Signs

Kohl’s uses electronic price tags for easy price changes. Knowing how to interpret the codes in the upper-left corner of the LCD readout can help you maximize your savings:

• BB stands for Bonus Buy, which means Kohl’s buys a large stock of these at a very low price.
• BGH stands for Buy One Get One Half Off.
• PP is Product Placement, which means the price is fixed, and not discounted.
• S stands for Sale, which means the item will be on sale for up to two weeks.
• A square in the upper-right hand corner of the tag means the product is at its lowest price, unless it later moves to clearance.

Stack Coupons

Kohl’s allows customers to stack up to four promo codes online, including percent-off, dollar-off, and free shipping codes. This can help you score big savings, especially when combined with sale items.

Use the Kohl’s App

The Kohl’s app offers exclusive deals, tracks your Kohl’s Cash and rewards and provides a barcode scanner for comparing prices.

Shop During Special Sales Events

Kohl’s hosts numerous sales events throughout the year, including Black Friday, Cyber Monday and seasonal clearance sales.
