KMart - super double coupons!

Through 10/5, KMart is doubling all coupons with a face value of up to $2! So if you have a coupon for $2 off, they will give you $4 off! I hit the Raleigh store today, and racked up big. I ran out of time, though, so I didn't even get through half the store. Don't worry--I WILL be back! I got several things completely free, including 4 pouches of cat snacks. I got lots of Hamburger and Chicken Helper (we eat a bunch of that around here), 4 bags of cat food, some cleaning wipes, air freshener, hot sauce, French fried onions, taco sauce and seasoning, pasta, and Uncle Ben's mixes. Here's a pic:

There were 35 items, $75.18 worth of stuff, I had $46.25 in coupons, so I paid only $28.93! And this is all stuff that we will use. I had coupons for other things that I passed up, just because it still wasn't cheap enough for me.

The cat food is Kasey's favorite, and it's usually just under $4 at WalMart. It was $5.29 at KMart, but I had a $2 off coupon, making them only $1.29. Everything else was less than $1. I had a coupon for $1.50 off Frank's hot sauce, and I went looking for it, figuring it couldn't be much more than $3. It was only $.99! And KMart will give you the coupon overage off the rest of your bill, so they actually paid me $.51 to take it. They won't double more than the item costs, though--so they wouldn't have given me $3 (double the $1.50 coupon) off. The cat snacks ended up being free, so Kasey won't be hungry for some time to come.

The ringing up was confusing, because every time the cashier scanned a coupon, it only showed up on the screen once. He kept assuring me that it was taking it off, and as I watched the total, the coupons were coming off double. The receipt is very confusing too, but it seems to be right.

I had thought about heading back tonight, but I don't think I'll venture into that part of town alone at night. I'll have to squeeze it in tomorrow or Saturday sometime.
