Wahooo for K-Mart

I must tell you that I'm not much of a K-mart shopper. In fact, I usually only go there when they are having their double coupon events. We have had a dry spell here for the last few months but I'm so happy to announce that this week (beginning July 4th) K-mart will be doubling coupons valued up to $2.00!!!!

What you need to know...

1. You need a Shopper's Reward Card (free at customer service) and you need to scan it when checking out.

2. They will only double 5 coupons per card per day. From what I read, they are pretty strict about that and their computers are programmed to monitor this.

3. They will double coupons as high as $2.00 to $4.00!!!

4. There is no "overage" like Rite Aid. In other words, if you have an item that is $3.49 and you have a $2.00 coupon. The coupon will only double to the amount of that item making it free.


My game plan...

*Use high value coupons that will make items close to free after doubling.

*Return multiple times throughout the week to use 5 coupons each time.



I will be putting together a list of "good buys" after I scope it out on Sunday (Yes, I'm that lame and will shop on holidays). K-mart takes internet printable coupons so this should make for some excellent deals.


One last thing...I find K-mart's regular prices to be much higher than some other stores (much like Rite Aid's prices). Don't fall for their plan of getting you in the store so that you buy stuff. I always make it a point to purchase 5 items, use 5 coupons, and then return throughout the week. This is just my opinion, however.
