Kmart ~ Double coupon days (April 4th to April 10th)

As a seasoned couponer, Kmart has really been wishy washy in Utah with doubling coupons. At last, this is really happening for us (and yes, I know I'm a few days late in posting this).

There are rules to follow, so rather than repeating what everyone else is posting ~ I'm gonna send you to my friend over at thethriftycouple. Thanks Cassie!

They've posted all the details and also provided you with another link to some great coupon match-ups.

So take advantage of some additional savings - as we know here in Utah, it won't last long!

More Kmart double coupon info - you'll want to read!

So, I was reading Surviving Recession 101 and she basically summed up the Kmart deal. Check out her blog for all the details. I can't wait to have doubles back in Utah. Even though our Kmarts don't have a big "grocery" section, this is a great time to stock up on cleaning, hair care, soaps, razors, detergent and paper products. One thing you may not think of is coupons for Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. We'll just have to see what's out there when the doubles start.

Great Kmart coupon - get it while it's HOT!

I don't shop at Kmart very often, but I live close to one and enjoy stopping in from time to time. This is the pretty good coupon for Kmart. Click on this link and print the coupon located in the upper right corner near the blue light. The coupon is good from 3/15/10 to 5/22/10.

For any of you that have been couponing, you'll know that double coupon opportunities don't happen often in Utah. Last year Kmart did double coupons a couple of times, but it wasn't consistent and not in every Utah store. Rumor has it, that next month Kmart may offer double coupon days again. This coupon would be very nice to have when that happens.

So, if a shopping trip to Kmart is in your future - take advantage of this great coupon!

Kohls deals, layaway and smart shopping

I have to admit, I am a Black Friday shopper - I love a good deal. It's interesting that in the last week, I've started to hear some predictions on how the Christmas season will play out. I found this article on CBS News Early show. The news article basically stated that if you see a good deal now, you may want to get it now because retailers aren't ordering a lot of inventory due to the recession. It's a pretty interesting read anyway.

So with that in mind I saw a Kohl's deal that I couldn't pass up today. Knowing that my son loves Geo Trax (and has asked for this for Christmas, not to mention his birthday falls in January....) , Kohl's is offering 50% off certain Fisher Price toys. Here's a link to PYP for all the details.

This is what I ended up getting.

Fisher-Price® GeoTrax™ New Train In Town

Size: NO SIZE
SKU 90354010

Regular Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $49.99
1 $39.99 (I paid with the 20% code SPECIAL20)

Carter's® Dinosaur Fleece Pajama Set
Color: Multi
Size: 3T
SKU 90402188

My total came to $109.12. I got 20% off, free shipping and I'll get $20 in Kohls cash back.

Also, don't forget that Kmart and Sears are offering layaway plans. It's a great way to only have to pay a little at a time.

Toys R Us is also offering a layaway program for certain items this holiday season. Here's a link to their online information.

Don't forget to also checkout the Hasbro toy coupons on the blue coupon bar in the upper right corner of my blog. These would be great to pair up with a sale out there!

Be smart, shop savvy, use coupons and be happy!

Kmart is doubling coupons again (1/4/09 to 1/9/09)

Thanks to the Savvy Shopper Alert I got through email - I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we are the lucky ones, once again.

Check out this link to find the great deals and details on the sale. Let me know if you have any questions (callmestacy@yahoo.com).

Also, I'm still booking classes for January and February. Let me know if you're interested in saving some $$$$.

My trip to Kmart (double coupons

I've mis-placed my receipt, so I'm going from memory. I hope this helps someone. Some of the deals were better than others - no freebies this time.

Cereal was 4 for $10 and I had 4, $1.00 coupons - making each box $.50

Reynolds Wrap foil (75 feet) was $2.99, I had 4 coupons for $1.00 off - making each box $.99

Opti-Free was $8.xx and I had 4, $3.50 coupons (I'm not sure if they doubled or not - I'm still trying to find the reciept - my guess is that they didn't though).

Lysol (I can't remember the price, nor the coupons)

Reese's clusters (can't remember the price), but had 2, $1.00 coupons

Hershey's candy (can't remember the price - $7.xx??), but I had a coupon for $1.50 off with the purchase of three.

Kraft crackers (they were a bribe to get my 3 year old to behave for just a few more minutes).

I think my receipt came to a total of $80.xx and I saved $46.xx.

I promise that when I find the receipt I will post an update. Sorry this is so not-helpful. I went a few days ago and am just getting around to posting it.

I wanted to buy more, but I had my 2 boys with me and it made shopping a little difficult (especially when the youngest just had shots). Maybe I'll try again later this week.

Kmart is doubling coupons/Shopko's daily surprises

So, everything I'm reading is saying that Kmart is now currently doubling coupons from 11/30/08 to 12/6/08. Go through your coupons and shop, shop, shop!!!! There are some restrictions listed below - so go prepared. This sale really paid off for me last time!!! Even though Kmart doesn't sell a lot of food items, this is a great way to stock up on medicine, shampoo/conditioner, paper products, makeup etc.....

Super Double Manufacturer Coupons up to & Including $2 Value.

I also got an email from Shopko today announcing a daily surprise. You need to go to their website everyday to see the announced sale. If you don't have one of their "My Extra Saving's cards," stop by and apply for one (they are similar to Smith's or Albertson's cards). I believe you have to have one of these cards in order to get the deal at the advertised price.

So I gathered my coupons and headed to Kmart on Thursday night. I just haven't had time to post my great finds until today. I was pretty impressed at what I got and the price I paid.

I have to admit - I'm addicted to finding deals. I hate to pay full price for anything!!!

Take a close look at these items, you may see some of them at a class near you. If you'd like me to teach you how I did this - contact me (callmestacy@yahoo.com) to set up a class. Trust me it's worth it! It's the best 30-60 minutes you'll spend learning in a long time.
