    Default I love Kmart Doubles!

    Had a great time at Kmart today..with some hurdles but overall I did really well. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow!

    (2) Chex Cereal 2/$3
    (2) Cheerios 2/$3 (Free)
    (2) Honey Nut Chex (thought it was $4/6 but didn’t read the fine print ) 2/$5
    (2) Cheerios 2/$5
    (2) Smart Water $1 each (Free)
    (2) Kotex pantyliner $1.29 (Free)
    (3) LA Looks styling gel $1.49 ea. (Free)
    (2) Skintimate Shave gel $1.99 each (Free)
    (2) Degree for women $2.33 each ($.33)
    (1) Degree for men $2.33 each ($.33)
    (2) Pantene Conditioner $3.33 each (Free)
    (4) Listerine Mouthwash $3.99 each (Free)
    (2) Reach toothbrushes -2pk $2.69 (Free)

    Used:

    (1) $1/2 Chex coupon
    (2) $1/1 Cheerios coupon
    (1) $1/2 Chex coupon
    (2) $.55/1 Cheerios
    (1)$1/2 Smartwater
    (2) $1 Kotex
    (3) $1 LA looks
    (2) $1 Skintimate
    (3) $1 Degree
    (2) $2 Pantene
    (4) $2 Listerine
    (2) $2 Reach toothbrush

    Here’s where the hassle started. Total oop $15.40..seemed high to me and I see the Honey chex rang in at $4.29 x2 and that the cashier didn’t give me $1 (x2) off of the Smartwater. She refunded me $5.58 for the errors and had I realized the cereal wasn’t unlimited $4/6 I would have done even better.

    Total oop after issues $9.82!

    Cashiers at the Torrance, CA location have all been told no more than 10 coupons but the supervisor let me go this time but told me tomorrow only 10 . Gave her Coffee Bean card for being so flexible and helping get through all the returns and issues. Also she did tell me that their system is programmed to only start doubling after the total reaches $25.

    Received catalina coupons for my next visit $5/50 and $5/$25 beauty!

    Default Question on $25

    Does the $25 total mean before q's are deducted? I added up my total for the 10 items Im using q's on and it comes to $22, so I need to add a few more things so I reach $25 and then the double will kick in, right?

    Thanks in advance fo the answer!

    Right. Add a few items to get $25. Like she said above, watch out for the GM deal- it's not unlimited. I bought 8 boxes of cereal thinking I could do it twice to get the 4/$6, but they all rang up at 4/$10. The ad says any amount under OR OVER 4, will be 4/$10. I would have been fine if I just did 4, and did 4 more on another trip. Live and learn, I guess.

    Default looking for pantene q

    I'm looking for the $2 pantene q pritnable, I noticed someone else said it was printable.

    Tried searching online but no luck...

    I need some shampoo, but the pantene q's I had didn't make it cheap enough or it was for the full & thick which I don't need.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Bologna! I made one purchase for 4.29 (playtex drop ins) had a dollar q and it doubled. They just put that in there as a guideline...see post "Just Heard". I also asked my boss about it and he said it wasn't being enforced.

    I'm heading back today. I'm going to use the Pantene q's again and this time include the Pantene buy 1 shampoo or conditioner get a styler or treatment free q. So basically both of those will be free and the 2nd coupon won't count against your 10 (if its being enforced) since its not a double coupon.

    Also going to do the Axe $4.99 each buy 3 get 2 movie tickets deal I saw posted yesterday..it will be $3 (which my 5/25 will cover)!

    I'll post my list again when I get back. I so badly want to bring in more than 10 coupons but after yesterday I think I'll follow the rules and just go back every night this week. Also its better if the 5/25 prints out again so every trip should almost be free.

    your cereals should have been ok. I think you have to separate them into two orders to get the GM deal again. HTH...
    I coupon, therefore I am.

    I used 19 coupons in one order today and my cashier didn't even bat an eyelash. Had to bring the fam though just in case...WON'T do that again.
