KMart doubling

Thanks to our reader Karalin for reminding me that our Rockford KMarts are doubling coupons this week. I had every intention of heading out there to take advantage of deals and post them here, but it's Thursday and I still haven't gone out.

There are new rules this time around: you must be a "Shop Your Way" rewards member to be able to get double coupons (you should be able to sign up at customer service), and I believe you're only allowed 5 coupons per day. So, if you happen to be by a KMart in the next two days, be sure to take your coupons in with you (up to $2) and get them doubled for some good deals.

Here are some deal scenarios from Common Sense With Money (please note that prices vary from region to region).

Kmart's replenishing

I just called Kmart on East State here in Rockford. They just got a truck in today and the stuff should be on the shelves (or still being put on the shelves) tomorrow morning. I'm saving myself the trip out there until tomorrow, because I know that on double-coupon weeks, they run out of the "good stuff" (a.k.a. the really-cheap-after-doubled-coupon stuff).

Just a head's up!

Kmart diaper deal this week only!

Since the Kmart on E. State St is doubling all coupon up to $2 I went to that location to do this deal.

Currently Kmart is running a promotion if you spend $5o on SELECT items you will receive $12 off your next purchase. The two items listed below are on the SELECT items list (the list is found in the store circular). Here's the deal:

5 packages of Huggies diapers at $9.99 each AND
2 boxes of Ziploc baggies at $2 each

coupons used:
$5 off $50 purchase printable here
2 - $2 off Huggies printable coupons here for IE or Safari (double to $4 each)
3 - $1.50 off Huggies diapers from home mailer (double to $3 each)
1 - $1.50 off 2 Ziploc products printable here (double to $3)

Paid $32.16 for 5 packages of Huggies and 2 boxes of Ziplocs plus a $12 off coupon off my next order! If you don't include the $12 coupon, that is $.50 each for the Ziplocs and $6.23 each for the diapers. If you include the $12 to use on my next order, that is $.50 each for the Ziplocs and $4.03 for the diapers! Either way that is a great deal on Huggies!

Huggies Pullups also apply toward this deal and their are $2 off printable here for IE and Safari. The more $2 off coupons you have the better the deal as those double to $4!

Kmart doubles again!

Okay, so there were rumors swirling around the internet that Kmart was bringing back double coupons up to $2 and they were true!



On Monday, I called the Kmart on E State and they told me they were doubling all coupons up to $2 just like in the previous months.



HOWEVER,



I also called the Kmart on Sandy Hollow and they stated they were only doubling the Proctor & Gamble coupons up to $2 no other manufacturer coupons.



Well at least we have one Kmart keeping up the tradition!



Here are a few links with items and coupon matchups:



Deal Seeking Mom has a Hot Special K Deal with links to coupons here!



Common Sense with Money has a Kmart Super Doubles list here!

KMart's double coupon event

What will $2.77 get you this week at Kmart?

We're hoping to get out to Kmart soon and write out our deals for you, but in the meantime here is a good website to go to for the rules and some very good tips on using coupons at Kmart this week (thanks commonsensewithmoney).

If you get to Kmart before us, write a comment to let us know about the good deals you got!

Double Coupons at K-Mart! (trip 2)

Well, I'm hooked on double couponing at K-Mart. I had avoided it several times as I couldn't squeeze any more time out of my week for another store but since I don't frequent Walgreen's anymore I thought I would try K-Mart. Here is today's purchase totaling $4.83! The total before coupons was $38.78.

**SaniHands Kids - $2.49
Used $1 off printable coupons (no longer available - sorry!)
.49 after doubled of coupon

**Dove Deodorant - $3.99
Used $2 off printable coupons IE or Safari
FREE after doubled coupon

**Sparkle Paper Towels - $2.99 AND Angel Soft TPaper - $1.79
Used $2 off 2 printable coupon IE or Safari
.78 for 3 rolls of paper towels and 4 rolls of tp after doubled coupon!

**Peanut Butter - $2.29
Used $1 off coupon from a home mailer
.29 after doubled coupon

**Bumble Bee Tuna Pouch - $1.99

Don't get discouraged if you are just starting out and don't have newspaper coupons or in home mailer coupons yet. Once you get into coupons - coupons will find you! Pinch-A-Penny will also post these offers so you can sign up for more coupons mailed to your house for FREE!

My K-Mart trip

So, if you are wondering what I bought at K-Mart . . . I know you were dying to find out. Here are a few highlights:

**White out - 2/$1
Use .50 off printable coupon for IE or Safari
FREE without doubling the coupon! This shouldn't count as one of your 10 coupons but will help get your total up to $25!

**One A Day Vitamins for Women - $5.89
Use $2 off coupon from newspaper insert
$1.89 after coupon

**LA Looks Hair Gel - $1.49
Use $1 off coupon from newspaper insert
FREE after coupon

**Benadryl Anti itch cream - $4 (for my daughters bug bites)
Use $1 off coupon from newspaper insert
$2 after coupon

**Lysol Bathroom Aerosol Cleaner - $2.67
Use $1 off coupon from newspaper insert OR
$1 printable coupon
.67 after coupon

**OreoCakesters - $3
Use $1 off coupon from newspaper insert
$1 after coupon

**Pampers Jumbo - $9.99
Use $2 off coupon from newspaper insert
$5.99 after coupon plus it put my total up to $50 so I could use the $5 off $50 coupon for signing up for their emails so .99 after coupons!!!

Those are a few of my highlights. There are lots of K-Mart tearpad coupons for toilet paper and other items. Remember you can use one K-Mart coupon and one manufacturer coupon on 1 item. The K-mart coupon won't double and won't count towards your 10 but the manufacturer coupon will.

For example:
I purchased Charmin - 24 rolls - $8.99
Used a $1 off K-Mart coupon AND
$1 off Charmin coupon I received in the mail. This doubled and I bought 24 rolls for $5.99 which is .24 a roll.

It's the Blue light special at K-mart!

Well, this week is double coupon week again at K-Mart. The rules have changed so take note. If you have a long list then you will have to break up trips throughout the week to get everything you need for free or close to it!

• Double coupons up to $2 - no overage
• Limit 10 coupons doubled per customer per day
• Must spend at least $25 in grocery & drugstore merchandise

Those are the 3 main restrictions - pick up a flyer when you are in the store for more info.

Because the list is so extensive we will post four links for you to look through. I suggest printing the lists selecting your 10 items that total more than 25 and head to the store. Have a few items as backups in case they are out of something. The E. State store was out of Huggies wipes and Pantene that I noticed so if you want those call and ask when their shipments come in.

A few things I noticed that were different at our Kmart than the lists attached:

• The General Mills deal - 4/$6 if you buy 4 - only applied to the regular Cheerios not the other varieties. At least that is what the sign said in the store. Still if you can print 4 of the .55 of coupons the boxes will be .40 each when you buy 4!
• Lysol Bathroom Cleaner Aerosol - $2.67 - we only received $1 off coupons which doesn't make it free but .67 for the bottle - still a great deal.
• They don't carry SmartWater but you can get it this week at Target for .50 a bottle with coupon - not free but cheaper! :)
• They don't carry Wishbone dressing.

You will have to take your time, your coupons and your patience and browse through the store. I suggest leaving small children at home so all three of those will become easier! :)

Don't get discouraged these lists are LONG! Just pick out what is right for you and your family or what you can get for free. Remember the rules!
