We don’t know what all the Kohl’s Black Friday deals will be yet but as SOON as we do we’ll be posting the hottest of the deals here!
Meanwhile, I want you to know how to KILL IT at Kohl’s Black Friday this year. It’s never too early to prep for the big event! Seriously – there are just so many good deals. But, you can spend a bundle if you’re not sure how to really take advantage of the sales.
Here are a few awesome secrets to Black Friday shopping at Kohl’s that can help you save BIG on the big day ~ let’s get started?
Not sure what to expect? See last year’s favorite Black Friday Kohl’s Deals over HERE!
1 . Know WHEN the Kohl’s Black Friday Ad Comes Out
Every year we get a sneak peek of the Kohl’s Black Friday Sale during the first week of November. By studying the HUGE ad (last year it was 64 pages!) early we can compare it to other stores and decide who will have the best prices.
Here’s what we’ve learned about this year’s dates:
- Kohl’s Black Friday Online Deals should go live from Monday, Nov. 23 – Wednesday Nov. 25
- Kohl’s Black Friday In-Store Deals go live on Nov. 27th (according to their website – not sure what time yet!)
- Kohl’s Black Friday “Super Deals” should go live from 11/26 – 11/27 at 1pm (This sounds like Kohl’s Doorbusters!)
2 . Earn $15 Kohl’s Cash on Black Friday
I love, love, LOVE Black Friday Kohl’s Cash, because instead of the regular $10 per $50 purchase – we earn $15 for every $50 purchase!
(Check our post on How Does Kohl’s Cash Work for more tips!)
***Don’t forget to sign up for Kohl’s Rewards as well – where you’ll earn an extra 5% on every purchase, all the time! 🙂
3. Prep for the Best Doorbusters!
Kohl’s Doorbusters are usually valid in store and online at Kohls.com through 1 pm on the Friday after Thanksgiving. They are limited quantity items – so you’ll want to Browse the Ad and make a mental note of what’s top priority for you.
- This year – Kohl’s Black Friday “Super Deals” should go live from 11/26 – 11/27 at 1pm (This sounds like Kohl’s Doorbusters!)
A few things we see each year in the Kohl’s Black Friday ad:
- Big One towels and Pillows
These are usually $2.99 after coupon!
- Appliances – FREE – $4.99 after Rebate
Every year we see a deal come out to get free appliances once the rebate and Kohl’s Cash are applied
- HOT Luggage Deal after Rebate
CRAZY good deals on luggage using sale + coupon code + Kohl’s Cash and rebate
- Canon EOS Rebel
Kohl’s usually has the LOWEST price for this camera due to Kohl’s Cash and rebates coming into play
- Pyrex and Corningware – LOWEST Price All Year
If I weren’t already stocked with Pyrex, I would buy a set EVERY YEAR at the Kohl’s Black Friday sale!
. - FitBit Deals
Some of the lowest prices around on the newest Fitbit!
. - Imaginext and Little Tikes large toys for $19.99
Since we can’t use coupon codes on Kohl’s Toys – they have been going EXTRA cheap – plus you can still earn Kohl’s Cash
. - Instant Pot, Kitchenaid, Air Fryer and Ninja Foodi Deals
Major appliances on your Christmas list? Kohl’s will have an AWESOME deal on these popular items along with some good rebates and Kohl’s Cash rewards.
- Weighted Blanket Deals
Last year Kohl’s has the BEST deal on a weighted blanket – and this year we’re expecting to see some doorbusters as well…
. - BIG Deals on TVs
Get ready to combine that $15 Kohl’s Cash with some rock bottom doorbuster pricing!
4 . DON’T Buy Everything You Need on Black Friday
Since you’ll be earning all that extra Kohl’s Cash ($15 per $50 spent!) – save some of your purchases for after Black Friday. That way you can SPEND all that Kohl’s Cash you earned on Christmas gifts!
5 . Kohls.com Usually Starts Black Friday on MONDAY
If you want to get your Black Friday shopping done BEFORE the craziness begins? Shop the Kohl’s Black Friday Ad ONLINE!
Kohls.com always starts their Black Friday Sale hours on the Monday before Thanksgiving – and all the doorbusters will be live at 12:01 am on Thanksgiving Day for online shoppers. So you’ll not only not have to leave your house and enter the craziness of Black Friday store shoppers – you’ll also get the best deals earlier 🙂
6 . FREE Kitchen Appliances!
Every Black Friday Kohl’s wows us with some crazy deals on Kitchen Appliances. Normally we see a selection of appliances for $4.99 each after Rebate. Here’s the fun deal scenario we usually end up posting:
Buy (3) Toastmaster Kitchen Appliances for $16.99 each = $50.97
– Get back $15 in Kohl’s Cash for spending above $50
– Send in for (3) $12 Rebates
Like paying NOTHING for all three appliances!!
Guys – that’s insane right??
7 . Stack Kohl’s Black Friday Coupons, Cash and Rebates
There will be a few coupons and rewards that you can stack during the Kohl’s Black Friday Sale – and we already know a couple of them:
- We ALWAYS get a 15% OFF Coupon (usually around page 3 of the ad)
- We’ll earn $15 Kohl’s Cash on $50 Purchase
- We ALWAYS have some rebate offers (like the appliances mentioned above)
You can stack all these ways to save to come out with BIGGEST savings possible!
⭐8 . BONUS TIP! Kohl’s Coupons Won’t Work on Toys, or THESE Items
The 15% OFF won’t work on toys this year – or these select clothing and appliance brands. Here are the items that are typically excluded from promo codes at Kohl’s:
- Under Armour
- Toys
- Converse
- Kitchenaid
- Levi’s
- Columbia
- Dyson
- Adidas
- Nike
These are the best items to buy with your Kohl’s Cash that you earned on Black Friday!
⭐9 . BONUS TIP! Swing by your local drug store or grocery stores BEFORE you shop Kohl’s
Watch the drugstores and grocery stores in the coming weeks for special gift card offers. For instance, this week at Walgreens you can get a FREE $10 Walgreens Gift Card when you purchase (2) Kohls (or other) gift cards. That’s an easy way to earn a freebie when you know you’ll be spending money at Kohl’s come Black Friday.

I saw a Kitchen Aud mixer for $279 yesterday and put it in my cart. Went back today and it was sold out. Isn’t it stupid to have a great sale that doesn’t go past the first day?
Hi Peggy! So sorry to hear that, it can be frustrating to have an item in your cart sell out ~ sadly many store only have a limited number of each item, so the popular products tend to go fast! Hoping you’re able to get a great deal on a KitchenAid over Black Friday/Cyber Monday! 🙂
Canon EOS Rebel-I can not find this on their web site.
I am planning on buying the doorbuster show for $49.99. I have $15.00 from Kohl’s in a coupon will I be able to use it towards this?
Hi Deb! Coupons can’t be used towards doorbusters, however if it’s a Kohl’s gift card you could be able to use that. Hope that helps!
I put the Apple Watch in my basket and tried to add the current coupon just to see if it would be valid…it didn’t work. Will the future coupon work on Apple Watch or is it excluded? I would love the Black Friday deal from the cheat sheet.
Hi Juanita! Coupon codes are not valid on the Apple Watch, but you can earn Kohl’s Cash on it (which will bring it down to the cheat sheet price!). Hope that helps!
Never let your Kohl’s cash expire. If you have Kohl’s cash and don’t need anything right now, use it to buy anything. You can then return it. Because when you return it, you will get a credit that never expires.
Lindas info is outdated. I work at Kohl’s and this is no longer true. If you return an item that you spent kohl’s cash on, you will get a replacement kohl’s cash that expires in 30 days.
It was course in 30 days
