Did someone say "Double Coupons?"

Thanks to my friends Angela for this awesome tip!

Apparently she got the following email from K-mart:

We appreciate your interest in products from Kmart. Currently, there is a double coupon event scheduled for all Kmart and Super Kmart stores, between 11/30/08 and 12/06/08. Thank you again for choosing Kmart.

YEA!! So this proves that first cashier right - they ARE doing double coupons once a month (this is the THIRD month in a row!)

Yea for double coupon weeks and lots of FREE stuff and YEA for Angela who is my K-mart Angel!!

A little late Update

Shopping Trip #2 at K-mart.  I couldn't resist another trip to K-mart to stock up on a few items we need/use.  

I also picked Ben up two more shirts as they fit him perfectly, and we only need them temporarily.  (no need to spend a fortune on a few shirts he wont wear too long after Christmas).  

I spent more than I initially wanted to but still got some great deals.  This time I couldn't get overage on any of my coupons...the best I could do was FREE.  And how can I complain about FREE!  My cashier was new to coupons and so we broke my purchases up into 4 transactions to make sure all the coupons worked!

I heart K-Mart - All this for $8.90!!

So tonight, I purchased all of this PLUS two shirts for Ben at Kmart. Also I need to give mad props to my friend Angela who was an ANGEL that showed up at exactly the right time. Unfortunately the computer FROZE at Kmart when I only had 6 coupons left! It was sooooo frustrating. There were at least a good 7 people in line behind me and trust me...most of them already hated me for all my coupons! But wow - did I get a good deal!

So...Let me first start off by telling you that his shirts were $9.00 each = $18.00 total. This is important to note.

One More Time - Kmart & Double Coupons!

Tonight was all about Miss Toby cat.  Believe it or not, Toby goes though a bag of treats every 7 - 10 days.  I had a GREAT cashier tonight who was VERY helpful!  So I had a GREAT night.  As strange as this sounds, I was a bit surprised at my total.  I thought it would be less.  Oh well...I can't complain! 

Side Note:  I'm not going to do a breakdown of this as today was the last day of the sale - though my cashier said that Kmart is thinking of doing this on a monthly basis!  If that were true, I'd become a regular Kmart shopper!

Double Coupons at K-Mart

After Walgreens, Lindsay and I headed over to K-Mart to see what the whole double coupon thing was all about.  Down here in Florida the concept of "double coupons" is unheard of.  No store in Jacksonville does it, so I wasn't really sure what to expect or how it even worked.  So Lindsay and I headed over with only 30 minutes to really do some shopping and ran around like mad women trying to get all the deals we could in the few minutes we had.  

All in all, I think it turned out pretty good.  Our cashier was 100% annoyed with our coupons and didn't seem to know what to do when one of them wouldn't work.  Eventually we got everything worked out and left a few minutes later than we originally intended.  The deals were so good though, that later tonight, while Ben was at a church meeting, I headed out for a second run - to take my time and really hunt the deals down.
