I’m all about fun, free (and cheap) activities for kids. JCPenney has an upcoming event that fits the bill! Check out this fun, free craft from JCPenney’s.
Visit the Kids Zone inside JCPenney on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 11 a.m. to noon and create your own 3D turkey craft.
All materials are provided but are only available while supplies last.
Plus, parents get a free 10% off coupon (and it can be combined with other JCP coupons!)
I’ve got wide feet. I always have, but after 5+ years of walking 12,ooo+ steps a day and taking stairs daily (multiple times), they’ve managed to get a little wider.
The search for wide shoes is exhausting, y’all. Here are a few companies that sell wide (D) and extra-wide (2E) shoes.
I’ve only included ladies’ shoes because I found out that men’s 2E wide shoes are not as wide as ladies’ 2E shoes. I need all the room I can get.
And for those who say that sometimes you have to suffer for beauty, wearing shoes that are too small or too narrow can damage your feet permanently. My grandmother ended up with hammertoes because she wore shoes that were too narrow and small for years. Other medical conditions one can develop from wearing improperly sized shoes include calluses, corns, ingrown toenails, nerve damage (including Morton’s Neuroma), and bunions. Don’t risk it.
I’m all about fun, free (and cheap) activities for kids. JCPenney has two events coming up that fit the bill! Check out these fun, free crafts from JCPenney’s.
Visit the Kids Zone inside JCPenney on August 8, 2026, from 11 AM to Noon, and kids can create an axolotl pouch. The Craft includes a pencil pouch, markers, and a small notebook. Great for back to school!
If you are busy that day, there is an event in September!
On September 12, 2026, from 11 AM to Noon, kids can come create a cabin picture frame. This craft includes wood sticks, foam pieces, glue dots, a marker, and a magnet.
This is a great deal! Now through 9/19/2026, students and teachers (with a valid K-college student or teacher ID) can get a $12 haircut at their local JCP Salon!
And to sweeten the deal for educators, score an extra 10% off your purchase with a valid school ID.
If you know of a teacher/educator who could use a little pick-me-up in the form of a haircut, please share this deal!

JCPenney hosts a fun craft event in-store for kids on the second Saturday of each month. They are easy for kids and a fun, free activity.
While you are there, make sure to join their Rewards Program. There are a lot of great benefits, and it’s free to join. I do a lot of our shopping at JCP. They are very size-inclusive, have great prices/sales, and support diversity in the communities in which they are located.
In-store events are only where local mandates allow. All kids must be accompanied by an adult.
Hey there. I see you have wide feet, too. It makes shopping for shoes really hard.
Having wide feet and Plantar fascitis is like a double whammy, so I’ve been really careful about the sneakers I wear.
I don’t have much call for “fancy shoes” or heels in my day-to-day life.
I’ve been collecting websites and shoe brands that make and sell good-quality, wide shoes.
Many of these websites have coupon codes and sales. Stores like JCP have loyalty clubs you can join for free.
Here are a few of my favorite places to get wide shoes and some of my favorite brands. I hope this helps!
Brooks Running. They have great wide and double-wide running shoes that aren’t ugly.
Zappos. Not just sneakers, but all sorts of wide and double-wide shoes. I picked up some sandals from Zappos last summer.
Orthofeet. From their website: “Orthofeet products deliver the relief and protection to stay active, with innovative features from customizable support and a pressure-free fit, to easy-opening closures, advanced therapeutic materials, and the low-impact walking comfort of the Ortho-Cushion™ System.” I have a pair of their sneakers. They are very roomy in the toe box. IYKYK.
Shoebacca. A friend sent me this website, and they have quite a collection of wide and extra-wide shoes. Best Part: Free ground shipping, free return shipping, 110% price matching
Skechers. They have a store in my city, but I’ve never bought shoes for myself there because they only sell shoes in wide sizes (and not in my gigantic foot size), if you have smaller, wide feet, they have some pretty good deals in-store and online.
JCPenneys. It’s my go-to store for most of my non-thrifted clothes and shoes. They have a great selection online (and sometimes in their larger physical locations) of wide and extra-wide shoes. Not just sneakers, but sandals and heels too.
And Finally, Crocs. Yeah, I know. They are kinda ugly, but it’s more than what you are thinking of. The Crocs brand sells a lot of different types of shoes, and they are very comfy. Not all sizes and styles come wide.

Y’all know I love JCP. Between their rewards program and their amazing clearance sales, it’s a great place to shop for household basics.
Currently, they are offering an amazing winter sale, with prices up to 60% off using the coupon code 2REFRESH at checkout.
I’m on the hunt for some 100% cotton sheets for my big kid’s bed.
The best part about these sales is that you can shop online and either have your items shipped to you or pick them up in-store. Many stores offer curbside pickup, too!
