I posted over a week ago about my visit to Kohls which greeted me with $5 coupon at the front door and I walked out with the bargain of the century. I only spent $3 but hey it all makes a difference.

Such deep discounts are signals and sure enough Kohl's missed earnings. Stock is $8. PUmmeled investors still hoping for a takeover. Who wants retail? Their sales went down 6.5%, their earnings went down 57%.

I think their discounting is too complex. Coupons, weekly, daily or whatever, Reward or Bucks earned, I have no idea how to understand it let alone participate which I can't because I don't have their credit card.

So prepare. Consumers are voting with their money. If they have any.

Will Dollar General be A Dollar Seventy Five General?
