Somehow I’ve missed posting any sales/deals at Kohls, this week, but let’s pretend I did that on purpose. There’s two excellent reasons to have waited, though:
1) It’s tax-free weekend here in Georgia. Fellow Peach Staters, shop it up!
2) I have new coupons for you, plus it’s time to earn Kohls Cash.
See? I totally meant to do that!
Everyone gets free shipping on $75+ and everyone can use coupon code LEMONADE for an extra 15% off. If you have a Kohls charge card, you can use coupon code NOTEBOOK30 for an extra 30% off, instead, plus you can use code SHIP4UMVC for free shipping on any size order.
I’m off to look for the next few sizes of shoes for the Amazing Expanding Teen Boy.
yeah! just in time, thanks!
Sorry to be ‘heavy,’ but….
Although I heard the news reported a few months ago (and didn’t REAlly want to ‘hear’ it), I came across a radio segment yesterday that discussed how there haven’t been more signatures from major corporations supporting the “Accord on Fire and Building Safety” that was drawn up after 1100 (mostly) women died in Bangladesh in a garment factory collapse.
Parent company to Calvin Klein/Tommy Hilfiger (PVH) and Abercrombie HAVE signed the agreement to conduct factory safety inspections and pay money toward safety improvements, but the following irresponsible North American corporations HAVE NOT signed and continue to neglect safe working conditions –
Walmart
Gap
Macy’s
Sears/Kmart
JCPenney
VF Corp.
Target
Kohl’s
Cato Fashions
Carter’s
Nordstrom
Am. Eagle Outfitters
The Children’s Place
Foot Locker
Do the frugally-minded (the Mir Club) ignore the lack of corporate social responsibility/corporate greed and continue to be customers of these stores… or bite the bullet, take action with our wallets, and buy elsewhere?
Whatever your choice, you’re modeling ethics to your kids.

I think you raise important points that don’t have a clear solution. In a global economy, the only way to be sure that your goods have been ethically sourced/harvested/created from beginning to end is to make them yourself. I’m all for voting for change with your wallet, and absolutely for going with your conscience. With a problem this large, though, I don’t see it as being a simple as “boycott these companies” (personally; no offense to anyone who sees it differently).
I agree, Mir, simply because I have other, just as weighty ethical issues with some of the companies who have signed this accord (in addition to other ethical issues with some who haven’t), and these issues are equally important to me. I’m not going to go into them here, but it is a difficult to weigh all of the factors that go into any decision to purchase from a particular company. There are companies that I no longer buy from at all for reasons that are very important and very personal to me.
