Kmart double coupon vets, please come help the newbies.

[KristieGK]

I hope it's ok to ask...

Their is finally a Kmart close enough to me that is having the double coupon event next week. This would be my first time doing this and I was wondering if the seasoned vets to this event would mind helping out the newbies?

A few questions:
*What items do you find are typically the best bargains during this time?
Any tips, tricks, or suggestions on items that are going to be free or close to it with the right coupons?

*Double up to $2 means a $2 Q will really, really, really be doubled to $4? (Guess I'm having a hard time believing that one, eh!)

*Does anyone know how much the Gillette body wash sells for at Kmart and would the $2/1 coupon make it a good deal once it's doubled to $4?

*What about other things like the Poise & Kotex liners? Would those be free after the $1/2 coupon is doubled? (I know these are $1/pk at WM so I was wondering if Kmart also sells them for $1?) I don't personally need them but I know someone that does!

*What sort of things are you planning on going after? (Just to help give me ideas.)


Reps for your help.


Any other first timers to Kmart double coupon event have questions?

Yes a $2 coupon doubles to $4 off!!

Since quite a few of the coupons that I was getting for free have expired I have had to find some new ones to look into. I don't know how much the Gillette items will be next week so I can't help you on that one. The kotex pantiliners are $1.29 at Kmart so with the .75 off coupon doubled they are still free. Some other items I am planning on getting are:

Secret Flawless Deoderant, if it is still the same price as last month it ends up being .29-.49 after the $2 coupon doubles.

19 oz. lysol disinfectant spray ends up being .50 or free, can't tell from the ad after the $2 off coupon doubles.

Kotex pantiliners free after .75 coupon doubles

Glade carpet deoderizer if it is the same price as last month would be free after the $1 coupon doubles

Nature's source cleaners are on sale for 2/$5 so after the $1 coupon doubles they will be .50 each

I have also heard that the soft scrub sponges are on sale and the $1.50 coupon doubled would make them free.

Endust free also ends up being free after the $2 off coupon doubles.

I think that is all I have found so far. Also check the price book on here for other ideas and the things on clearance at your store.

Normally the coupons that say $1/2 don't work that well it will take off the price of one item so you B1G1F basically. I did find a kmart near me that it seems to work at to use those but mind you that was one store out of the five I checked.

Anyways there is normally a list of things that people are getting for free and once people get started they will post the deals they are finding. I'm just going by the coupons I had the last time.....some of that stuff will still be free. Check the current doubles sticky at the top theres a link to a list of free things.

And yes a $2 coupon will take off $4 so normally what I do is check here and find the items I will def get for free and cut out the $2 coupons I want to use for things that I want or need and check the prices when I get to the store. Depending on what it is if I can get it for $1 or less its a pretty good deal for me cause I know I won't find it cheaper somewhere else since no one will double that coupon.


Look for health and beauty items, shampoo, the sunsilk will be $1 with the $1 coupons doubled. Lotions vaseline, toothpaste, toothbrushes, some razors ect.

Dog treats and cat food sometimes are free or very cheap the bags of good life cat food are 3.99 with a $2 coupon its free the dog food is 4.99 so .99 after the $2 coupon doubled.

Sometimes there will be food items like the hormel compleates are normally on sale for $2 and theres a $1 coupon doubled makes them free.

Try gum, Trident had coupons out they might be expiring. The $1 off mentos coupons should be priced around 1.59 so those should be free

Take all your coupons and search the store thats the only advice I have really. I drove half an hour one time and found clearanced curel lotions and didn't have the coupons with me so I drove home half hour kicking myself, come one free lotion its a mistake I try not to make anymore.....

Good luck hope you find some good deals Pm me if you wanna know anymore free items I will be pulling my list right now to see what I can get. Also sometimes the store prices do vary by regions....And I'm not going to lie I have no idea what week which coupons came from.....

Oh thank you all so much. You've been repped. Can't wait to see what others say as well.
My hubs wants me to go to VA with him this weekend but now I'm not so sure! Something tells me I NEED to start pulling coupons and making a plan of attack here instead! lol

There are a couple of catalina promotions going on as well. Spend $15 get $3 , Spend $20 get $5 on the following brands Purex, Zout, Soft Scrub,Renuzit , Dial, Tone, Right Guard, Dry Idea, Soft n Dry. I have worked out the following scenario,

Buy 4 Soft Scrub scrubby pads @ $2.79 apiece =$11.16
Buy 3 Dial Hand Soaps @$1.50 apiece=$4.50
Total $15.66
Use 4 Soft Scrub qs 1.50/1
Use 3 Dial Hand Soaps .35/1
Total oop will be $2.40 and you will get back a $3 catalina

Or do the 4 scrubby pads and two Right Guard , oop will be $2 and get back $3
There is also a General Mills catalina promo. I haven't figured out a scenario for that one yet. Still have a headache from the first one

I usually try to stick to things that are free, but since they would basically be paying me to take these , will have to do this deal

I have a few rules to prevent insanity and make a great trip if any newbies are interested.

#1 Make a list (using HCW price sheet, other posts, etc) of items before going into the store.

#2 Pull all the coupons on that list and put them in order by section.

#3 Pull all your other high value coupons $1, $1.50, $2, etc just in case you see the price and that it would be cheap or free.

#4 Try to be in and out of the store in 30-45 minutes. Trust me, it can be sooooo stressful standing in the aisle wondering: "Hmmm, if I use that coupon on that item...." and you will be so overwhelmned. Kmart has such high prices, it's not worth trying to figure out aisle by aisle what else you could get. Stick to the items HCW posters have posted, but do look at the clearance stuff just in case there is a deal to be had.

#5 Leave at least 10 minutes at the end of your trip to look over your receipt - while in the store!!! Then go straight to customer service before you leave if something didn't double. Trust me, you do not want to get all the way home and be frustrated that something didn't double, then drive back, or just say "forget it" and be upset about it later.

#6 If possible, shop with a buddy for fun and organization. Leave the kids at home haha.

#7 For me, I start a few days before organizing, and try to go Sunday a.m. so the shelves will be full. Some areas have a lot of couponers.

#8 Don't bother with the $1.50/2 coupons..stick to $1 or $2 off coupons

#9 Make storage room in your house for all your great freebies

#10 HAVE FUN and come back and tell us what you found!!!!

-My fave Kmart doubles item is Huggies soft pack of wipes. They are around $2-2.19. They are found in the BATH section, not baby section. They have Cars or Princesses on them and are free or super cheap with the $1/1 Huggies coupon.

-Also that new cleaner by Windex "nature's source" will be .50 next week using the $1/1 coupon..on sale $2.50.
