How do Kmart register work when coupon value exceeds item?

I bought a box of tylenol for .99 and used a $1.00 and it took off $1.00..so I got a penny overage.

I did the Tide 10 ct. Stain Release deal a few times this week, using $1.50 q's from various magazines I tore them out of a few months ago. The 10 ct. sells for $4.29 at my store and right now there is a $2 Kmart Savings promo. The $1.50 doubled to $3.00, bringing my price down to $1.29, but I still got the $2 savings on top of it--$.71 MM!

I found $.99 lacross tweezers and used the $1/1 coupon. I got overage on all 10 of them. It was just a cent but it was still overage.

Depends..

If you are talking about during doubles, it goes up to the price of the item..though for some reason when I would just buy 4 secret & use 4 coupons it kept coming out neg .31..??

Several items I've found it does give overge though...trying to remember specifics, I know several times I've had 1/1 coupons ring & give overage.

This has happened to me b4 and I am pretty certain that the reason it does that is b/c Kmarts computers are programmed to tax the total price that you pay, not to tax each individual item. Hence, if your total is $0 then you pay tax on $0. The reason it was .31 neg is b/c there WAS tax b4 the q's were deducted. Now, I haven't quite figured out how it came up with -.31. How much were the deo's you got?

OP, I have always gotten overage at Kmart with coupons(not the doubles). This could be a ymmv, but I have always gotten overage if my coupon exceeds the value. HTH
