Kohl's makes shopping cheap easy

Today, I am recuperating from my husand's shoulder surgery -- actually he is recuperating, but I did all the worrying for both of us. Before I talk about the surgery, I want to talk about the prep. Mike was going to need some BIG shirts to get on over his immobilized shoulder in a big sling. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, since the shirts would only be used for a few weeks. So, I headed to Kohls -- with my 15% off coupon. My first stop was the clearance rack of menswear. I found several button down XXL shirts ranging from $3.60 to $7.99 -- and that's before the 15% off. Then I went to sportwear clearance where I found a couple of sweats for $7.99 (wanted to make that easy too). My final stop was women's wear for a new shirt for me (have to have something new, soft, comfy and cute to wear to surgery. For less than $50, I got 1 shirt for me, 2 sweatpants, 1 sweatsuit jacket and five or six shirts for Mike. I did splurge on 1 XXL t-shirt with Oscar the Grouch on it that read: I wear this shirt when I am grouchy (figured the pain would drive him to grouchy at some point -- and deservedly so). I love shopping at Kohl's especially when I don't care about the look or the durability and only interested in price!
