I spent $13.45 (including $2.44 tax) and had one coupon for BOGO Purex that wouldn’t scan. The total should have been $11 or so– I have a feeling you need a filler at Kmart (or an equal number of items to coupons). I used the $5/50 coupon which would have made 22 items and 23 coupons, so I suspect that was the problem. Any Kmart experts that know for sure? One BOGO scanned fine and the second BOGO was the last coupon I gave the cashier.
My store was doubling up to $2.00.
Here is the breakdown of what I got. To find the coupon matchups click here.
(3) Vaseline Lotion, (1) Phisoderm Face Wash, (1) 2pk Energizer Battery, (1) Secret Flawless Deodorant, (1) Aveeno Shave Gel, (1) 60 ct Band Aid, (1) Johnson and Johnson Qtips, (4) Purex,
(3) Huggies wipes, (1) Carvers Dog treats, (1) Hershey’s Bliss, (3) Post Trail Mix cereal,
(2) Daisy Sr Cream.
I will likely do another round at Kmart to stock up on Huggies wipes. Follow me on Twitter or sign up for my feed if you want to see more shopping trips!
I’m SO glad you thought about the coupon to item ratio. I had one coupon that wouldn’t scan also, it was also a BOGO, and it was my last coupon scanned. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what happened. Thanks for saving me some piece of mind!!!
I went today to. I made 2 trips and 4 transaction total. Boy was it a mad house in there! It was my first go at this K-Mart promotion and I did quite well. I spent less than $20 on everything I purchased.
Oh and I also found the Aveeno shave gel. What a great find wasn’t it? It was perfect for the $1/1 Aveeno coupons. I only had 3 of the $2/1 IPs.
Hi Brea, Glad you found it. Believe it or not but .29 is over my buy price for shaving cream but I am such a sucker for HBA products! I always love to try new things.
I found mine at $.44. I just couldn’t resist.
I left an award for you on my Blog 🙂
I just found your blog and LOVE it!
I took a trip to Kmart today…but, you found MORE deals than I did…
I’m just horrible with my oop..I always spend a little more than I mean to (and buy things sometimes that I just don’t need!)
ahhh..the agony of it all…I think if it’s on sale…I should get it!
Thank you Kathy and I know just what you mean! I always spend more than I want to partly because of our outrageous 8.25 sales tax in CA. Today I was hoping to stay under $10 but spent more because of the coupon error and because my tax was $2.44. I am happy to have stocked up on wipes and laundry soap though so no complaints here.
Nice job. I had a few coupon issues but was still pleased. Can’t wait for the chance to give it another try.
