question regarding the KMArt Rules and doubles and master list

[3libras]

When does super doubles end?

Sat, Aug 22

Kmart has doubles once a month usually, though not all Kmarts participate.

My super kmart sales paper said it would be til Tuesday 25th, that is in concord, nc.

My K-mart ad had 10 coupon limit, but last time they said in the store there was no limit, so I asked CS this time and she said it was supposed to be a limit of 25, but that she had people come through her line with more and they still worked. The same with the $5/$25 deal. She said some didn't have $25 worth of stuff and the Q's still doubled

Not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions, so please move or let me know if not. I am new at couponing, and my first Kmart doubles event

Very happy with my OOP, but there were some problems that I don't know if worth dealing with. My total before coupons today was $50, final OOP $14. My calcutations put me at about $3 plus tax OOP, since I only got a couple thiings cheap and w/o coupons.
1. the Tag rang as $4.49, (instead of 2/$7) so paid 0.49, my DH has never used it, so if I end up returning things, this may be one of them.
2. I bought 2 scrubbing bubbles toilet gel, and the 2 brushes for free. The clerk peeled a coupon $2/2 and used it. I didn't pay close enough attention, and thus wasn't able to use my 2 x $2/1. Then she keyed the "free" price as $3.5 (the price of the gel) rather than the $4.5 price of the brushes. So overall, missed out on $6. I have more free brush coupons, and should be able to print more gel coupons. Is is worth it, or is it fraudulent, to return and rebuy with the correct coupons and prices?

3. She refused to take either my $5/50 coupon, $5 off Cat or the $3 off Savings coupon off consumables. These all state "cannot be combined with any other coupon for the same items" Since only a couple items I bought didn't have coupons attached, is that the reason? Actually, my total was really close to $50, so maybe before taxes it was below and thus the reason for the beep? If is the price after all coupons, seems pretty useless for my purposes.

Thanks for helping me understand

1. the Tag rang as $4.49, (instead of 2/$7) so paid 0.49, my DH has never used it, so if I end up returning things, this may be one of them. Alot of people have been reporting this, some say their cashiers fixed it, some say they refused to, I would recommend you go to customer service..
2. I bought 2 scrubbing bubbles toilet gel, and the 2 brushes for free. The clerk peeled a coupon $2/2 and used it. I didn't pay close enough attention, and thus wasn't able to use my 2 x $2/1. If you didnt stop her then, you may just be out of luck, but I would bring this up at customer service.. Then she keyed the "free" price as $3.5 (the price of the gel) rather than the $4.5 price of the brushes. This I would DEFF go back for, adn bring a one of your coupons to SHOW she put in the wrong price So overall, missed out on $6. I have more free brush coupons, and should be able to print more gel coupons. Is is worth it, or is it fraudulent, to return and rebuy with the correct coupons and prices?

HTH!!

I would definately go back to customer service - but be prepared to WAIT an eternity while everyone (at least 4 people) try to figure out:
a. what you're talking about
b. what happened
c. how to refund you
d. how to return everything
e. how to rebuy everything
f. how to fix their problems when they try to do "d" and "e" above.

Last doubles, I spent 2 HOURS with the ASM, some other "leader type person" and 3 cashiers trying to figure out how to refund my about $6 in overcharges as you've listed.

As for your $5/$50, the $5 cat or the $3 consumables - did you hand those over first or last? I have had 1 cashier tell me she couldn't use it because it cannot be combined with any other coupon for the same item thing...and I explained that the ASM told me last time that that meant any other K-Mart coupon for the same item. She pushed it through.
