Scotch Cutter $3- used $1/1 coupon- $1
2 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaner $3.50- FREE after coupon (I did not get the Free starter kit coupons)
Juicy Juice $2.50- used $1 coupon- .50
2 Hip Eyeshadow $7.49- BOGO- used (2) $2 coupons= FREE
2 Ajax $1.99- used (2) $1 coupons= FREE
Welch’s Jelly- $2- used .75 coupon =.50
2 Hartz dog biscuits $3.59- used (2) $2 printables
Final Total was $4.85 after tax. The Scotch coupon did not scan and I should have paid $2.85 with tax. After arguing for about 10 minutes at customer service I got $1.17 back (should have gotten $2 back) and I finally just left. So all in all I paid $3.68 and got a free milkbones for next time. Sometimes I wonder if I am on a hidden camera show because the staff is so downright surly at my store.
How are you guys doing at your stores? Are you scoring any great deals?
Angela says
they let you use two coupons for the HIP?!!! What store did you go to? I tried with the lip gloss and they said NO!
Charlene says
I went to Pacific St in Rocklin. I was told the coupon didn't scan but it did. The cashier gave the coupon back to me and I didn't catch it until I got home.

I live in northwest Indiana(right outside of Chicago) and my store HATES coupon people. I purchased Visine(3.99) but it rang up $7.29 and I didn't catch it til I got home. I went back and they gave me the difference BUT subtracted .95 of the coupon I used! I argued with them until my kids couldn't take being in the cart any longer. They also wouldn't let me use the .75 off any milk when you buy Welches Jelly and the .75 off Welches Jelly coupons!

NONE of the Kmarts anywhere in the Baltimore area or the upstate NY area are running the double coupon deal…totally sucks. ๐

My Kmart would not let me use 2 coupons for the same product if one of the products was BOGO. They said if I got it for free – I do not need a coupon. I believe I had crazy coupon analyzer – she read every single coupon I had to make sure I could use it. I just felt bad for the poor people behind me who had to wait since I had a huge stack of coupons. LOL

A while back … I actually called the customer service to report the staff at TWO different Kmart's. The General Manager from one called me and assured me that he would be having a "refresher course" on "behavior" with the customer's … regardless of coupon use or not. So, call and complain AND if you know the first name's of the "nasty folks" it's even better. He said they will be getting a one-on-one!

I do get alot of deals and make daily trips to the store- but they hate me, I know it. but most of the staff is like holy cow you got $58 worth of stuff for $3.50?? One young gentleman cashier who we had to wait for management for 1/2 hour, said: "wow! I should get my mom to do this!! I tried using the buy chips ahoy and capri sun coupon get $2 off- it wouldn't double- noone could help, and after about1 hour 1/2 of my time-they said NO!!!! They gave me some lame excuse, saying it was because it exceeded the valu- (combined value- $5.20) then I went in and used the sparkle and TP coupon it worked!!!(same idea) Told the head manger- she said sorry about that- Golly thanks! ERRR If it weren't for doubles, I would not even go!! did anyone in here get the chips ahoy? capri sun to work??

I am doubting that I will do doubles again at Kmart. I had such a fun time last time, but this time was just horrible. They were rude. Arguing with me for every stupid coupon. It was so annoying. They seriously don't know the difference between purchase and transaction. That being said my total was $147 before coupons and $38 after coupons. BUT I noticed some coupons were not taken off and I didn't notice it until the next morning and they refused to refund the money. (It was that scrubbing bubbles free kit thing…that was a HUGE hassle. Be glad you didn't have it.) I wish I could watch their screen more when you check out, but it is so small and really only the cashier can see it. ANNOYING!
You know Kmart would make me want to shop there more because of their doubles, but they ruin it by being so dang rude! I was going to buy some baseball stuff for my son today after they fixed my receipt (which even the managers fought over) and when they didn't, I told them fine! I was going to buy stuff at your store but you can forget it now. And I just might return the toys and other items that I purchased that were not on sale and I didn't have coupons for. They even refused to call corporate when I was there. People behind me were agreeing with me and the manager just ignored them. So rude!
Also, my mom was with me on Sunday for our "first" trip and I asked before hand if they take more then 10 and they said yes. I got all done checking out and then they said no to my mom! WTF??? She stresses so easily and I felt so bad for her. I said fine…we will just walk out and come right back in and they said that they would refuse to take us! So then I got the manager and she said it would be fine to use multiple since we were buying so much, that they occasionally let people use more then 10. I was like…occasionally??? What the heck does that mean? She said if we buy alot. Well duh! I said, so should I just ask for you every time we shop this and she said yes. Rolling my eyes…how about you just train your staff or pick a policy. Not fly by your seat. And having every manager do different things is just ridiculous.
Sorry I took up your comment space…I just SO needed to vent. LOL!

I shop at the Lewistown PA Kmart and they are AWESOME! Every cashier I have gotten so far has been amused to watch the total go down down down. I've never been limited on my coupons and they smile and talk as they ring me up. I can say to all of you I OFTEN go to store websites and comment about their staff (good AND bad). I have made many good comments about the Lewistown Kmart and maybe that helps? My grandma always told me … we're quick to complain when something doesn't go right but how often do we praise when things go smoothly. I try to use those wise words and praise good work.

I was lucky enough to have a wonderful trip to Kmart Sunday. I ended up getting $148.89 worth of products for $12.83 for a savings of $136.06.
When we went to check out I asked the cashier how many coupons we could have per order and she said it didn't matter. Plus I ended up getting 4 Christmas gifts out of it too. It would of actually been $9.50 more because a coupon went in wrong and she called her manager and they told her not to worry about it. She was just worried her drawer might come up short. I have one of those guys who sits in the car while I shop and when he saw this full cart come out he rolled his eyes and asked how much we were out this time(he likes to tease me). when I told him the total he thought I was kidding with him. Until he saw the receipt. lol

I forgot to add one thing. I was also able to pick up 4 boxes of cereal with 4 $1 vocal point coupons and will be getting a $5 gift card for that. So our total after that will be $7.83.
Angela says
Charlene – When did you get your scrubbing bubbles toilet bowl cleaner? I went yesterday morning and I didn't find any. Were they with all the other cleaners?
Charlene says
I found them with the cleaning products- it is a very small box and there were 2 varieties to choose from. They were across from the Glade candle area. If you go back can you see if they got the 2oz Glade candles in? They have a shelf tag- and those will make great fillers to hit the $50 mark.
The lucky mommy says
Went to Kmart yesterday for the first time in FORever, just because they started doing the double coupon deals. Scored some great deals on cereal. Don't forget everyone, you can use the Kellogg's fuel for school rebate instead of the Kmart one to get 10.00 back instead of just 5.00.
I had great success. Everyone was friendly, the girl behind the cust. service desk gave me the extra coupon savings booklet no hassel and nicely informed me of the doubles policy.
The only thing I wasn't stoked about was their cereal selection and how long it took me to find stuff, but that's mostly b/c I'm not familiar with the store.
I'll definitely go back there.
Oh, and the cashier girl actually let me help her wiht the coupon thing! She directed the screen at me and with all my cereal coupons, I just told her which cereal to highlight. For example, when you scan a coupon, whatever cereals may qualify for the coupon pop up and she has to select which one was the right cereal. So I helped her do that and helped her fill in the right price on amount coupons . . .it was great.
