$10 off $20 at KMart

Get your paper out, make sure you ink is full and print print print! $10 off a $20 purchase good through 5/22!!! I mean that's like half off anything you want...dog food, grass seed, DVDs, shoes, 2 liters, washer fluid, toys!

Okay, if you can get over the excitement of regular priced items being half price, how about SUPER DOUBLES starting the first week of April!!! During Super Doubles weeks, KMart doubles up to $2 coupons and up to 5 coupons in a transaction. So for every $2 coupon you'll get $4 off! I think the hardest part will be not going negative with the $10 off coupon!

I am not going to post a list of free after Super Doubles items, the lists are WAY too long - there are other people that have already done all the work and I am not going to copy and paste everything onto this blog. My first suggestion would be to visit the Kmart forum of A Full Cup. They're going to give you the most up to date information and a ridiculous amount of scenarios and examples.

However, here are a few ideas for the $10 off coupon for this week...the only problem is you'll have to visit KMart 3 times over the next 2 days if you want all 3 deals!

**Buy $30 worth of qualifying items on page 13 of this weeks ad get $10 off your next order...purchase 5 - 12 packs of Quilted Northern at $7.49, use 2 - $1 off 2 coupons from the paper and the $10 off $20 coupon = $25.45 out of pocket - $10 OYNO - $5 rebate = $10.45...that's less than $.18 per roll!
**Buy $20 in qualifying items on page 3 of the ad get $3 off your next order...purchase 2 Huggies at $9.99 and Colgate toothpaste at $2.50, (also add in a piece of gum or something really cheap because you'll need as many items as coupons in order to check out).... hand over the $10 off $20 coupon first then 2 printed $3 off Huggies at Coupons.com (click on household), and $1 off Colgate from the paper = $5.48 for everything! (depending on your cheap filler item!)
**Buy the Princess and Frog DVD at $20.99 and Princess Tiana Doll at $10.99 get $10 off at the register for buying both (page 1 of the ad), hand over the $10 off $20 coupon first and then a printed $5 coupon here = $6.98. THEN purchaes 2 Band-Aid items and submit for the $5 rebate here (Band-Aids are free at Wags this week) = $1.98 for the DVD and doll!

KMart Super Doubles 8/30-9/5

KMart should have Super Doubles (up to $2) starting this Sunday. Reports are saying this will be the last Super Doubles until 2010 because of all the fall holidays. The ad is usually on the KMart website by Thursday or Friday, so we'll have to check out what deals are available. They had doubles a few weeks ago and my total was $88 before coupons, I paid $24 after coupons and I got $5 off my next purchase, a movie ticket, and a HUGE PILE of stuff. I will try my best to compile a list, but usualy the deals are so extensive I may just link to somewhere else, we'll see!

more K-Mart & a Pampers deal!

If you're not into buying 5 packs of Huggies...or you don't have enough coupons to make it worth your while, here is another super scenario (that I did not come up with). This is the same Unilever/Kimberly Clark/SC Johnson as Huggies, so mix & match up to $50 to get $14 back.

Purchase:
4 axe shampoo @4.99
4 dove deo @3.99
2 vaseline @ 3.00
2 degree deo @2.33
3 Kotex liners @1.29

Total: 50.45

Coupons:
GIVE FIRST $5 off $50 purchase
4 - $2 off Axe printable
4 - $2 off Dove deodorant
2 - $1.25 vaseline (5/17 paper)
2 - $1 degree deo (5/17 paper)
3 - $1 Kotex printable $1 off Kotex printable

Total after Coupons: .66 plus tax

Get back $14!!! that's $13.34 overage!!! Isn't that ridiculous? Mix & match coupons and Huggies and whatever other eligible products you want! Great deals this week!
_________________________________________

Here's another one...P&G has a deal with buy $25 in products get a $5 coupon off your next visit, buy $40 worth get $10 back. Pampers is P&G!...and anything you saw in Sunday's P&G coupon insert.

Buy 4 Pampers @ $9.99 = $39.96
Pampers wipes @ $2.99
You may as well add in $7.05 in additional products in order to use the $5 off $50 purchase (buy items that you can get for free or close to free with other random double coupons)

Coupons:
$5 off $50
any coupons for your $7.05 in additional products
4 - $2 Pampers coupons = $16 (I don't have that many $2 ones, but hopefully you do???)
$.50 Pampers wipes coupon = $1

Out of pocket: $20.96 + tax

Get back $10 = about $2.74 a piece. That is awesome! Before doing the math I didn't think it would be that good! I love Pampers!

Diapers @ $2.74 per pack

This is the same K-Mart sale as a few weeks ago. Combine a $5 off $50 coupon, double coupons up to $2, $14 to use on your next purchase, and a rebate for $.75 back per package, and you've got a pretty good deal.

5 Huggies Jumbo = $49.95
Huggies Wipes $2.99

Total: $52.94

Coupons:
GIVE CASHIER FIRST $5 off $50 coupon
5 - $1.50 off Huggies, or whatever you have ($2 pullups coupons would be even better), doubled = $15 off
$.75 off wipes, doubled - $1.50

Out of pocket: $31.44 (+ tax)

Receipt $ off next order: $14

Submit for rebate for $.75 back per package = $3.75

Total Cost: $13.69, or $2.74 per pack! ($1.74 each if buying pull-ups with $2 coupon)

K-Mart Doubles & Diapers

KMart has Super Doubles again this week. I am always tragically disappointed when I go during Super Doubles, so I convinced myself not to go yesterday. I think other markets have better luck because they have better KMarts…on the Super KMart scale rather than our strip mall KMarts…Also since there are so few KMarts in Louisville all the crazies get out as their only chance to use coupons and take everything before I get out of bed in the morning.

Anyway, I’ve seen a few posts about the deals at KMart this week and I’m rethinking my original decision. Kmart has about 6 current ads all starting and ending at different times (but I think all the ones up now are valid as of Tuesday 6/9). In the ad 6/9 to 7/13 pages 24-27 are dedicated to a Unilever/Kimberly-Clark/SC Johnson deal: Spend $20 get $3 off your next purchase, spend $35 get $7, spend $50 get $14. There are so many possibilities it’s impossible to list, but with double coupons this week – if you were to spend $50 on these products you could count an additional $.28 off per dollar. And I would HOPE all the crazies would have their attention on other items and might leave some for us.

This doesn’t apply to everyone, but since I’ve got a 2 year old with no interest in the potty and another one on the way, I’m going to do the Huggies diapers (Kimberly-Clark product). Huggies are on sale for $9.99 this week.

5 Huggies Jumbo = $49.95
Huggies Wipes $2.99

Total: $52.94

Coupons:
GIVE CASHIER FIRST $5 off $50 coupon
5 - $1.50 off Huggies, or whatever you have ($2 pullups coupons would be even better), doubled = $15 off
$.75 off wipes, doubled - $1.50

Out of pocket: $31.44 (+ tax)

Receipt $ off next order: $14

Submit for Caregiver's Refund @ $.75 per pack = $3.75

Total Cost: $13.69, or $2.74 per pack!
____________________________________________
There is also a $10 off $50 available on an apparel purchase…$50 clothing purchase - $10 coupon - $14 from promotion = $26, not bad!

I sincerely apologize for my diaper rant, and for those of you uninterested, here are some additional items that I am going to quadruple cross my fingers are still available when I visit.

KMart Super Doubles update

I have a real issue where I don't need ANYTHING so if I'm going to get it, well, I want it for free. I'm sure KMart Super Doubles is a great deal for a lot of people that have KMarts with clearly markes sales and shelves that are not already empty, but I don't think I have the patience or mental capacity to take it all in. I also think other regions have KMart 'supercenters' which have much more selection. Like the person below who got everything for $1.80. It's just unbelievable!

I wish I was so lucky. After 45 minutes of walking around comparing coupons, sweating and cursing that the sale signs weren't up, I left with a box of Rice Krispies, Secret deodorant and a pack of Dentyne for $1.18. I could've thrown a lot more things in the cart but I really didn't need it or...or I just couldn't find it. Then I went to CVS to make myself feel better. Maybe I'll try again later this week, who knows...

KMart Super Doubles April 19-25

For some reason it weirds me out to get excited about KMart. But next week they are doing Super Doubles again, coupons $2 and up are doubled. Which is pretty unbelievable. Check out this post from last November for some helpful information and planning tips.

Here are the details:
**no overage - items may be free, but if you have a $2 coupon and the item is $3.75, you're not getting an additional.25 off.
**you may purchase up to 4 of the same items with double coupons
**Limit of 25 coupons per customer per day...just use your 25 and go to the next store...or go back later
**Here is a $5 off $50 purchase - give the cashier this coupon first THEN your manufacturer coupons
**Here is the ad to see it with your own eyes!

Let me know if you have any questions. I went after church last time they had super doubles and was pretty disappointed in the selection that was left. If I get really ambitious I may get up REALLY early on Sunday and get to K-Mart...otherwise I may wait until the end of the week when they restock and the excitement has worn off. Tell me how it goes for you!

You want more coupons, but not whole papers...

Hey! Me too! There were some great coupons in the paper this weekend. Whether you don't currently subscribe to the newspaper, or whether you want more of one coupon in particular, you have lots of options. Read the bottom of this post to see some reputable websites to order additional coupons.

I have one subscription for the Sunday paper, but places like Walgreens and Wal-Mart sell Sunday papers for $.99 (which is actually a little cheaper than having it thrown on my doorstep). Usually that one paper is plenty for our small family's needs, but when coupons come out that I know I'll use and want more of - or that I know I'll make a profit on, I'll order more.

For instance, today's paper has a coupon for $1 off any Quaker Rice Snack Product. Just last week those yummy yummy Quakes were on sale at Meijer 10 for $10. So I COULD have gotten it for free. I went on The Coupon Master website and ordered more! Others coupons I purchased:
**$2 off Gillette Shampoo ("free" at CVS in a few weeks AND also if KMart does Super Doubles again)
**$1 off Kibbles Wholesome Medley (George's usual food)
**$1 off 2 Nutri-Grain (this is from last weeks paper - Jacob eats these every morning for his pre-breakfast)
**$.50 off French mustard (often $1 at Kroger, which would be free when doubled)
**$.35 off Egglands Best (doubled at Kroger this is often cheaper than store brand - I needed to make a $3 purchase so this was my filler)

I also looked for the .50 off Cottonelle, but it seems they are out - Kroger has Cottonelle 4 packs for .99 everyday, so they would be free. Other good fillers are the $2.50 Electrosol coupons from a few weeks ago and $2 Excedrin (I should have added it because they're $1.99 at CVS this week, but I forgot). Good luck!

KMart Super Doubles, Say What???

I have to admit, KMart is not my first pick of stores in which to shop. However, when a store doubles coupons up to $2.00....I'll give it a shot!

Check out the ad here.

Click here to sign up for a $5 off $50 purchase. Give them this coupon FIRST if you have $50 worth of pruducts, THEN go for manufacturer coupons.

Here is a HUGE list of items available at KMart that have corresponding coupons thanks to afullcup.com

Rules:
No more than 75 coupons in one transaction
No overage :( if a coupons doubled value is more than the item cost, the amount will be adjusted to make it free
No Internet Coupons
Max four of the same item/coupon per transaction

Tips:
If you don't have a list you are working with and you are just bringing lots of coupons then I would suggest the following
1. Group all the same department coupons together. For Instance: Grocery, Pharmacy (OTC), Health and Beauty, Pet, Cleaning
2. Put your group into envelopes or baggies and label the front by the dept name.
3. Make an additional envelope that says "check out" and when you find the product, pull the coupon from the dept. envelope and place it in this one.
4. When checking out MAKE SURE the coupons are doubling. I'm not sure if the register does it automatically, or if the cashier has to do it...but make sure your getting doubled!

Isn't this exciting?! I think it will be hard to sit still through church tomorrow in anticipation of going to KMart!..it's still sounds weird saying that...I'm excited to go to KMart...
