KMart is doubling manufacturer coupons today (1/4) and Saturday (1/7) only for Shop Your Way Rewards Members. You will be able to double manufacturer coupons up to $1. *NOTE* You can only do this for five coupons, so you’ll have to judge if you think it’s worth the trip or not. You also will need to spend $25 or more in grocery and/or drugstore merchandise to qualify for the doubling event.
Go HERE to see Kmart’s circular and to verify if the deal is available in your city.
Thanks Who Said Nothing In Life Is Free?
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
what does it mean to double a coupon?
Jennifer – great question! In Florida we do not have any stores that double coupons, so this is a rare treat for us! Basically it means that the store will double the value of a manufacturer’s coupon. If you have a coupon for $0.50/1 item, they will double it, making the value of the coupon $1.00 instead of $0.50.
Hope this helps!
oh that’s awesome wish Florida would do that at all the stores I guess that’s why I see some of my friends go to Georgia with u hauls….nice! Thank you
I decided to take advantage of this today and here is some of what I encountered…
1. If a coupon says “do not double” it applies here. Since in Florida this is the first time that I know of a store offering double coupons. I did not think to look for this and was disappointed when my coupon did not apply.
2. Both the cashier and the assistant manager were unaware as of 1:16 pm today that it was even double coupon day. I had to show the sales paper to them both.
3. Because one has to spend $25 to get double I wanted to verify my prices. I had an employee scan an item for me, but at the register it rang up differently. Changing my total.
4. I was also planning to take advantage of the spend $20 on Kelloggs and get a $5 reward card. My products were $20 pre coupons. Post coupons my total was less and the gift card did not issue. I called corporate K-mart to inquire about their policy and was told that they did not cover this issue. Corporate put me in touch with the local store where I spoke with a manager (at the store I spoke with the cashier and the service desk clerk to inquire about this). She did not offer a clear answer on their coupon policy, but did say that if I came back in she would give me a $5 gift card.
This was more hassle than I had planned for. Here is how it comes out though. I purchased 6 12 ct PopTarts , 2 Rice Krispies and I had a coupon to get M & M’s free when buying the cereal . All of this was purchased for $11.00 (after I go back to get the $5 gift card).
