KMart is doubling coupons up to $2!

I've know about this for a week or so now, but before I posted about it, I wanted to try it out. This is my first day out in a while since I've been sick.

So here's the deal: KMart is doubling all coupons up to a $2 value until Saturday. There isn't much there that can be had free after coupons, but if you're needing some items anyway and have some good coupons, it might be a good time to go and get those coupons doubled.

Some rules:
- If your item is less than double the coupon, it will only "double" up to the price. You'll see what I mean.
- If the coupon says "do not double" check the bar code. If it has a "5" at the beginning, it will double. If it has a "9" there is a good chance it won't.
- You can only buy 4 of the same items with coupons.


Here's what I got today:

Rimmel mascara (all Rimmel is 40% off, reg $3.29) - $1.97
had $1 coupon, got "doubled" for another $0.97 = FREE

Glade Carpet powder (on sale from $1.99 to 2/$3) - $1.50
had $1 coupon, got "doubled" for another $0.50 = FREE

Dentyne Ice 3 pk - $2.49
had $1 coupon, got doubled for another $1.00 = $0.49

Dentyne Ice - $1.19
Had $0.75 coupon, got "doubled" for another $0.44 = FREE

Trident Splash - $1.19
Had $0.75 coupon, got "doubled" for another $0.44 = FREE

Kotex Lightdays liners, 22 pk - $1.29
Had $0.75 coupon, got "doubled" for another $0.54 = FREE

Total OOP (out of pocket) was $0.49 plus $0.22 tax = $0.71

Not bad eh? It was fun to try out. I didn't have the energy to shop more, or I would have done some more searching.

If you go try out KMart's double coupons this week, post about it here!

I was a little disappointed with my trip. I had priced everything at Wal-Mart first, so was discouraged to see how much more things cost at KMart than they did at Wal-Mart. There was an awesome coupon on Pantene that I didn't use, because it would have cost the same had I bought it at Wal-Mart without the double coupon. The Pull-Ups were a killer deal - they were on sale, so they were comparable to Wal-Mart's price. Woohoo! The deodorant was a good deal too. So overall, it was fun to shop around for the deals. I didn't have any good coupons for lesser priced items. Gotta keep collecting!!!
