KMart doubles coupons again!

Yay! I'm a bit disappointed that our KMart doesn't carry much in the way of groceries any more, and I'm also bummed that they don't take printed coupons anymore. But I still got lots of good deals!
Gillette Body Wash $4.79 - $2 Q = $.79
+First Aid pads $2.19 - $1 Q = $.19
Band-aids $2.19 - $1 Q = $.19
Reach toothbrush $2.00 - $1 Q = free

4 Goodlife Recipe cat food $5.29 - $2 Q = $1.29 each
Cat Chow Healthful Life cat food $5.79 - $2 Q = $1.79

(I got these for Adam so that maybe he won’t keep begging for Axe.)

48 items $121.27 - $5 KMart Q = $116.27 - $78.92 in coupons = $37.35 + $7.03 tax = $44.38 oop

I hate the way their coupon systems works. The cashier has to pick which item the coupon was for, and it never works out right. Some of my coupons took of strange amounts. But that's OK--I'll take it! I'll have a clean house (well, if I use the stuff) and a clean 13-year-old son, and the cat should not be hungry for some time.

KMart is doubling coupons again!

And most of their food items are on clearance 40% off. They are getting ready to remodel or something. But be prepared--they are sold out of a lot of things. But I did manage to get 72 items, and my total was $71.11! I put it all away before I thought about taking a picture. But it was a lot of stuff, and mostly food!

$157.09 - merchandise total (after some were discounted 40%)
(95.34) in coupons (after doubling)
9.36 tax
= $71.11 total oop (out of pocket)

I actually still need to go to the store to get bread, ground beef, lunch meats, etc. since Kmart was cleaned out of that kind of stuff. I got lots of cookie dough, and a bunch of Ziplock containers. So I can make and give away lots of Christmas cookies! Oh, there I go again, posting about Christmas presents. Well, I didn't say WHO I would give them to, now did I?

KMart couponing

Well, it took me a couple of hours--3 to be exact--but I got some good buys! The specials I posted yesterday must have ended yesterday, because none of them existed anymore. Here's what I found instead:

Right Guard invisible solid: $2.69 - 1.00 coupon = $.69 (I got 4)
Suave deodorant: $1.79 - .50 coupon = $.79
Dry Idea roll-on (the only kind I use): $4.19 - .75 coupon = $2.69 (I got 2)
Dove shampoo 12 oz: $3.79 - 1.50 coupon = $.79
Dove shampoo 24 oz: $5.79 - $2 coupon = $1.79
Crest kids: $2.19 - 1.00 coupon = $.19
Colgate Total: $3.49 - 1.50 coupon = $.49
Renuzit Pearl air freshener: $2.50 - 1.00 coupon = $.50
Purex fabric softener 1 gallon: $3.49 - 1.00 coupon = $1.49

2000 Flushes: $2.99 - 1.00 coupon = $.99
I also got some apples that were $3.99/3 lb bag and on sale buy-one-get-one-free.

So I got 29 items which totaled $67.32, and after coupons and adding tax, it totaled $29.83!

KMart - super double coupons! Again!

From what I've read, the KMart on Austin Peay is doing double coupons again, Wednesday through Saturday (10/14-17). I am going to go over there tomorrow morning (Wednesday), so I will come back and post what I found.

From looking at the current ads and studying my coupons, here are the deals that I will definitely be searching out:

Tic Tacs .65-oz. single pack sale 79¢ - $.55 off 2 Q - $.24 each
1-pack Bic SureStart multi-purpose lighter sale 2.99 - $1 off Q - $.99
Renuzit Pearl Scents air freshener sale $1 - $1 off coupon - free
Renuzit adjustable air freshener sale $1 - $.55 off 3 coupon - $.63 each
Dove hair care sale $3.79 - $2 off Q - free

There may be more--I'll find out tomorrow!

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.
