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!

Get ready for Kmart doubles

Doubles are just around the corner...here is what you need to do to prepare.

1. Sign up for a Shop My Rewards card at Kmart. Easy to do, just ask any cashier for one. This is the way they are "tracking" that you only use 5 per day.
2. Look through your stash for high value coupons, especially $2 ones!
3. Watch for coupon matchups on blogs, I will try and link them as they appear.
4. Also, when you actually shop, please play by the rules and be a good shopper. I am thinking that this is a "test" run since they are doing it in so many areas. We haven't had doubles at Kmart in the Northwest since February 2009. It used to be a monthly or every other month thing, but of course there was abuse... Maybe if it goes well they will bring doubles back more often. Keep your fingers crossed and do your part to make it run smoothly!
