I've been picking up things along the way but my biggest day was yesterday. I went to Kohl's with my 30% off coupon in hand.
My oldest DD will be starting student teaching next semester so she's in need of some "professional" clothes. I shopped the clearance section first and picked her up some pretty nice skirts and shirts. They were all at least 60% off.
I also got each of my girls a new sterling silver chain that they've been wanting. My MIL passed away last Jan and we sent the roses from the funeral to a place that makes them into beads that they set in jewelry. They each picked out a sterling cross and heart for the beads but wanted a shorter chain. The silver was on sale for 60% off.
My middle DD wanted some new jeans as wells as some "professional" clothes (she just started college as a Special Education Major and is observing other classrooms).
The last thing was a white gold necklace. It's an open circle with small baguette shaped diamonds inside. I'm sure that they are not the best quality but the original price was $300 (I never would pay that especially from Kohls.) It was on yellow clearance for $180 but there was an extra discount bringing it down to $49.99. Since I had the 30% off coupon, the necklace was $35.00 and I also got 30% off of everything else.
I'm actually going to start wrapping this afternoon.
I do like that Kohl's will take these back without any problems after the holidays if they don't fit or don't like them. So many other stores won't extend their return dates if gifts are purchased early.
I also picked up a Cricut cartridge at Michaels for my oldest DD when they were on sale for $39.99. Pluse, I got a $5.00 off coupon when I went into the store.
