3 Men's Dress Shirts with Matching Ties - about $45!

I just bought 3 men's dress shirts with ties for $45.  What a steal!  Here's how I did it.

First, log into your ebates.com account to get cash back on your purchase.  If you don't have an eBates account, I suggest you create one.  If you don't want to, that's ok...you can stil get this great deal, you just won't accumulate any cash back.

From ebates.com, select Kohls from the store list.  They are having a sale of Croft & Barrow men's dress shirts for $19.99 and they come with matching ties!  Personally, I think this is the average sale price for a shirt alone, so the tie is a great bonus. 

Before you checkout, visit cardpool.com and find an ELECTRONIC gift card worth close to (but not over) the amount you're spending.  For example, I was going to be spending about $50, and the electronic gift card closest to that was $42.52, so I bought that one.  This is an extra step, but it saved me almost $4 on this transaction.  My experience is that you basically get the gift card numbers emailed to you right away.  When you click on "Redeem Now" in the email it will open the Kohl's website with the gift card numbers at the top of the page.  Just copy and paste those into your checkout screen.

You'll also want to take a look at retailmenot.com and find % off coupon codes and free shipping codes.  I found a coupon code for 20% off ($11.99 off the 3 shirts) and another for free shipping with no minimum purchase.  Kohl's allows you to use 2 coupons codes with each transaction.  Woohoo!  Although they are having a special $0.99 per item shipping deal, which is pretty cheap, I still saved about $3 with the free shipping coupon code.

So, at checkout, you will need (1) a credit card (they may require you use your Kohl's charge, depending on which coupon code you selected), (2) your electronic gift card # and pin, and (3) your 2 coupon codes.

Here's how my trasaction went down:
First I paid $39.11 for a $42.52 electronic Kohl's gift card from cardpool.com (a savings of $3.41)
$59.97  (3) shirts to my cart:  $19.99 each x3
-11.99   Minus the $20% coupon code I found on retailmenot.com
-$2.97   Minus the free shipping coupon code from retailmenot.com
-42.52   Minus the above-mention gift card I $39.11 paid for
--------
$5.46 on my Kohl's charge
-1.92 back from eBates.com (it's not much, but anything helps!)

So what could have been a good deal at $62.94, I paid $42.65.  Total savings of $20.29!
