Kmart Double Coupon Scores & More

Posted by kim on April 21, 2009

I was so excited that the nearest Kmart store to me (Yankton, South Dakota) was finally participating in offering double coupon up to and including $2 (limit 25 coupons per person per day)! Sioux City, Iowa is the same distance, but is not participating. To see if a store near you is participating, click on Kmart’s Weekly Ad, and there will be a big red square announcing Super Double Manufacturer Coupons.  Some regions are even boasting Triple Coupons! The event runs through Saturday (4/25), so I’m hoping to make another run after I reorganize and print new coupons (yes, they accept and double internet coupons, too)!

The above picture shows just some of the loot I got for free or nearly free today! In the middle of the picture is Biz Double-Action Laundry Stain Fighter (Money Back Guarantee) and Healing Vitamin Shampoo (Try Me Free Hangtag).

The items to the left are deals from Kmart.  I printed out Kmart’s Best Deals from Common Sense with Money and highlighted which deals I had coupons for.  Plus I brought along my coupon box and rummaged through each category in the store to score some more deals.

The items to the right are Free After Rebate items from Menards (Click This Week’s Flyer to see all) I would have gotten more, but they were sold out of many items.

I also went to Walgreens, but forgot to add those purchases to the picture. Some of the deals I got were…
– 7Up, Sunkist, A&W Rootbeer 3/$11 - $1 peel-off instant coupons – $5 back in Register Rewards (looks like I’ll be doing this deal again, but warning if you use those RR earned on the same items, they won’t print again)
– Natural Dentist Mouthwash w/Free Bonus Toothpaste $7.99 (the mouthwash alone is $9.99 at Target) – $2 off coupon – $10 rebate
– True Shimmer Chapstick $1.99 – $2 back in Register Rewards
They were sold out of Skintimate & Edge that also are offering Register Rewards.
– Hershey’s Bliss Chocolates (my daughter loves these) 2/$7 – $1 off coupon (can print multiple times) – $5 EasySaver Rebate.  I thought this was great deal ($1.25/bag) until I saw Kmart has them on sale for $2.99, so they only would have been 99¢ after doubled coupons!  See why I have to go back?!

Also, if you plan to go to Walgreens tomorrow, they have a printable coupon valid 4/22 only for 15% off store items plus receive a free reusable shopping bag for Earth Day!

Happy Shopping!

Nebraska VotesI went and did my civic duty today and voted.  Living in hickville, I got the advantage of no waiting in lines. But my county must also be too cheap to buy real “I Voted” stickers, as the ones they were handing out where definitely homemade from an inkjet printer (see pic left). 

My daughter’s school held a mock election, and McCain won by 90%. I voted for Obama against my daughter’s advisement - not that my vote will count in Nebraska – but I tried. I’ve gotten a lot of guff in this red state since ‘64, and I reply with, “John McCain is so old that he won’t live through the presidency, and Sarah Palin is not intelligent enough to run the country, so Obama is the lesser of two evils.”  No one argues with me after that.  You can watch results on MSN.com and CNN.com (Obama is in lead as I type).

Obviously I didn’t get a Mailbox Monday video made yesterday, and I really have no excuse other than time got away from me, even after the extra hour of beauty sleep over the weekend. I’ll use the “single mom with four kids” card again.

For those of you luckily enough to live near a Super KMart, they are again having a double coupon promotion from November 12th through the 16th, and then another effective at ALL Kmart stores from November 30th through December 6th!  I live an hour away from both Yankton, SD and Sioux City, IA, so I may call both to see if they are definitely participating, and I’ll make the jaunt.  Unfortunately internet coupons will be not accepted.

P.S. We couldn’t all agree on a group-themed costume idea for Halloween, so we all dressed our separate ways…

Halloween 2008

Any guesses on which is me?  Hint, my brother is the one dressed as Michael Phelps, so that’s obviously not me. ;)
