I just had a feeling this Kmart Doubles event had a hitch- the last time around I called more times than I care to admit and each time was assured it was the LAST event they would have. Now I have received a number of emails from you guys and basically each email is a little different. Several of you have received the following from Kmart:
“Kmart is participating in Double Your P & G BrandSaver Coupons. The
event is running from 9/27/09 through 10/3/2009. All Procter & Gamble
coupons that include the name Procter & Gamble in the coupon
disclosure are included. If this verbiage does not appear in the
disclosure, the coupon can be accepted at face value only. The limit is
10 doubled coupons, per day, per customer.“
.
I have been on the phone with various people at Kmart stores and have been assured it is only P&G coupons that will be doubled.
.
Now I believe it is still a $25 minimum as well in order to have the coupons doubled. The good news is we have the 8/30 P&G inserts that don’t expire until 9/30 and the new P&G will be out this weekend.
.
The bad news is that it is going to be very difficult to find enough great deals to hit $25.
.
I will update you as I get new information but basically my experience with Kmart is that they are very friendly but if you call 3 times you will get 3 different answers.
.
If any of you get the advance ads in your Wednesday papers please let me know what the cover of the ad reads as that will really be the best way to get to the bottom of this.
.
PS: Thank you everyone for your emails and comments! It seems that every single one of them is a little different (and I have probably read 200 by now)- I think we are going to have to wait for advance copies of the ad to tell what the heck is going on.

This is the e-mail I received:

I live in northern KY and our family has always had a sense of loyaltiy to P&G brands. Many of my family and friends have worked there….
BUT… it amazes me that P&G bothers to put out coupons at all…they are so little.
The Kmart doubles sale isn't going to be much if it's only P&G.
With all those $.25 coupons,it's not worth the time and trouble.
This has been a confirmed miscommunication between Kmart corporate and the clients.
Please call the Kmart corporate phone number for verification.
All coupons will be doubled.
Grammy you are too funny- I agree that I can't be bothered with .25 coupons on $8 laundry soap! I have a few ideas for some good deals though up my sleeve and I will post them once I get to the bottom of this mess.
