Kmart Day 2!

Love, love, loving Kmart this week! Here is what I got for $11.29, plus I got a $5 catalina. The PJs were on sale for $1.99! They are flannel Joe Boxer, regularly $16.99 (remember when Joe Boxer wasn't a Kmart brand, lol) I bought them a size up but, apparently winter is lasting forever, so they can wear them now!! They also have adult sizes and they are so comfy. Check the clearance bins... On to the catalina:

• Buy $20 get $5 back (or buy $30 get $10 back) details and brands participating here

I just went for $20 because it was the best overall deal with the coupons I had. I bought

• 4 Soft Scrub Kitchen/Bathroom cleaner $2.99, use $1.50/1 from 3/7 RP or $1/1 from April All You, or $1/1 to get it for Free or 50 cents! I only had one $1.50 coupon :(
• 2 Right Guard on sale for $2.50, use $1.50/1 from coupons.com, FREE (only one doubled because I had six coupons)
• Purex $3.33 because I needed a $3 ish filler. Also Dial hand soap pumps are $1 each, nice filler.

If you have 5 Soft Scrub $1.50 coupons, you only need to find a $5.05 in filler item, pay $5.05 and get $5 back!!! $20 worth of product for a nickel!! (even less if you have coupons for your filler item, it won't double, but you can use more than 5)

I also found a couple of new catalinas.

1. Scrubbing Bubbles/Fantastik, Spend $8 get $2 catalina, Spend $15 get $5 lots of coupons in the 3/21 SS and also check out afullcup.com list, too many printables to list.
2. Clorox, Spend $15 get a coupon for a free Glad trash bag, up to $5.49?. Not a lot of available coupons. I do have some $1.50/2 coupons that I got from a doctor's office or something and there are a few printables at afullcup.com, but they are over $2.

Final thought, I have read a few bloggers and comments complaining about only 5 coupons per day. I am liking it, it makes transactions much easier, the ability to roll catalinas, plus no thinking on the cashier's part and very little on yours! Plus in and out quick with the kids. A+ on this for Kmart so far!

Gift Card Winner

By random draw...Ashley is the winner of the gift card. Please email me Ashley ASAP with your address, so I can get the card out. Thanks all who entered for comments, I have some great ideas to implement!

Kmart success

I got my Kmart ad yesterday, and NO mention of doubles...I had to investigate before I posted anything. They are doubling if your store was on that list. It is not posted and the cashiers may not know about it, but hand over your rewards card at the very first of your transaction and it will automatically double! Up to 5 per day, $2 or less!

I got LaCross Beauty Tool $4.29, used $2 coupon from All You=29 cents
Skintimate Shave Cream $3.79, used $2 coupon from package insert=Free (they won't give you any overage.)

I am going to go back, it really was painless and easy! I am liking this new Shop Your Way Rewards Program! Maybe they will double a lot more now that they can monitor it better with the card, let's hope! I have always liked Kmart better than the other "mart" because of there promos! I ran into quite a few catalina deals and promos. I wanted to share with you also some blog links to check out more matchups. Let me know though if you find any great freebies or cheapies!
