My Son’s a Better Shopper than Me

My son called me during his break at work (he’s working at Kohl’s as seasonal help while he’s home from college) to tell me he scored a better deal on socks than I did.  I picked up some socks for the family at 50% off on Black Friday.  I wasn’t even offended my son was claiming to be a better shopper than me, I was just excited he scored a deal and that he was calling to tell me about it. I do that to my husband all the time!


Are you ready to hear about his deal?  It pretty much blows my 50% off sock deal out of the water!  He found all of the socks above for 90% off!!!  But wait…it get’s even better.  He bought these during a special time when Kohl’s employees could stack their employee discount with other discounts.  So he got 90% off + and extra 25% off + an extra 25% off + an extra 15% off.  Because he’s a bit of a math nerd (and my son) he figured out that works out to be an additional 52% off.  That means my son scored these socks for 95% off retail price.  Proud mom moment!!

See those 90% off price stickers?  Makes a mom happy (and jealous).   He bought 13 packs of socks and ended up paying $8.40 for $175 worth of socks.  I am not only proud of the deal he scored, but the fact that the first thing he thought to do was call his mom and brag about his deal. He’s been paying attention!

    Awesome deal and too funny-My son works at our local Kohl’s, is also a math nerd and brags to me about his ‘stacking discounts’ all the time. LOL. He’s turned into quite the bargain shopper since working there, as well. 😉

    Awesome; you raised him with a great skill set. ☺️

I am a mom to 5 kids, living in the PNW. I believe that being thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean going without. If we are smart about the little things, we can often find the time and resources to enjoy the bigger things. I share a variety of deals, recipes, crafts, DIY projects, travel ideas and more.
