KMart SUPER DOUBLE Coupons!! 10/1 - 10/5

WOW! KMart is doubling all coupons up to $2 in value!!! That's right, all your high dollar coupons could be doubled up to $4 off. I live in the Cincinnati area and got the flier in today's mail. You can also sign up online for email newsletters and receive an additional $5 off coupon that you can use in-store. Time for some great deals! I'll update the blog with my outcome once I get a chance to go shopping. HEre are a few of the rules:

1) Can only use up to 75 coupons per visit.
2) No internet printed coupons
3) Can only double up to 4 of the same coupons/items.
4) I found out today that all coupons over $2 are taken at face value. They do not increase their values to $4.

Have fun!!

Glade Scented Gel Warmers - 1.89. Use BOGO coupon to get 2 for 1.89 For each Glade you buy you will get a $2 oyno catalina coupon. You are making 2.11 for every 2 of these warmers you buy! I used the self checkout so the coupons spit out as soon as I scanned the warmers. This way, I was able to use them to pay for my order.

Powerade Zero. Buy 6 @ .79 each and get a $4 oyno catalina to print out. Offer good until 9/28. You can then roll over the catalina to buy 6 more. Comes to about .12 per bottle of Powerade. Not a bad deal!

Johnsons Buddies soap - @ .99 each. Buy 3 and use the $3 off coupon in last weeks inserts. When you buy 3 you will get a $3 off Johnsons catalina coupon that you could use to buy 3 more.

Cottonelle - use the recent .50 off coupon to get free toilet paper. The 4 packs are regularly priced at .99.

More free stuff at Walgreens - CHOCOLATE

You can get some free chocolate this week!!!

The Herberts Chocolate bars are on sale (at most stores anyway) for 2/$3. Unfortunately this isn't marked at all stores so make sure you have them ring up 2 to ensure that the sale is in fact good at your store. There is a coupon in the Easy Saver catalog for $3 off when you buy two. This makes them FREE!!!

I bought quite a few of these for a shower that I'm hosting in a few weeks. At one store I bought 14 of them - all free. In total, from 3 purchases I have 34 of these chocolate bars. :) YUM!!

14 bars @ 2/$3 = $21
Coupon = $21 off

FREE!!

Even if your store isn't honoring this price, or doesn't have them on sale, you can get them for .49 each using the coupon with the regular price (1.99).

Did you Know? re: WAGS RR's

Did you know you could use your Walgreens RR's to buy Walgreens gift cards? I recently discovered this 'trick'. I had so many RR's from last weeks' Robitussin and Crest mouthwash purchases and wasnt' sure how to use them all before they expired. So, I bought some gift cards! The thing to remember, as always, is that the RR's are counted as coupons, so you have to have at least as many items as you have coupons. ~~Edited: I was informed today that the fine print on the RR's indicate that you cant use these to buy gift cards, so you may get denied by your cashier. I purchased my GC's in addition to a few other items and the cashier didn't give it second thought~~

For example:

Today I bought
(2) $10 gift cards
(2) Rimmel eye makeup $4.79, BOGO
(4) small pieces of candy @ 4/$1.00.

= 8 items purchased, total of 25.79.

Used:
BOGO Rimmel coupon - 4.79
4 RR's @ 4.50 each. ($18)

Total oop: $3, I have more RR's but none in lower increments. I feel much better though not having to run out and use all the RR's I had before they expired since those dates were fast approaching.

Be a CVS advisor for free ECB's!!!

I just recently came across the CVS advisor program where you can answer surveys for ECB's.

https://surveys.researchresults.com/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll?I.Project=SCREENERCVS


"From time to time, we will be contacting you via email to participate in online surveys. In appreciation of your participation in these surveys we will compensate you with Extra Bucks between the amounts of $2 and $15. "

I just signed up today and can't wait to get my first survey! They say that I should get an average of 4 per year.

Starting from scratch - new CVS card!

I wanted to keep better track of what I've spent at CVS, and how good I was doing at getting some good deals, (and have an extra card in case there are some REALLY good deals...) so we decided to sign my husband up for a card. This is going to be an ongoing thread to keep track of my oop spending over the next few months. Enjoy!
