I really was not prepared for the competitive shopping. When I got to Kmart (Pike Creek) the line was wrapped around the building! On Thanksgiving day!

But everyone was well behaved except for one older couple. Kmart had all of their board games on sale for bogo. I wanted two preschool-aged games for my nephew. This couple took all of them. All.Of.Them. FIVE carts full. I have no idea what they were doing with them, I can’t believe they have that many grandchildren. But it wasn’t like I had my heart set on the board games, so I found a very cool Play Doh activity center at a good price. I also was able to get 4 of the Leap Fridge things I wanted for my nephew, niece and for Kevin.

I stopped at CVS on the way home and the only people in there were 2 other couponers and me. You could tell because we all had the ECB items in our carts. Everything printed the ECBs correctly for me. This morning I’m going to wade through my receipts and go back for whatever I missed yesterday. They were out of a few things (Newark Rd location) so I’ll just get rainchecks. I’m also off to Big Lots this morning and I have a coupon for Peebles so I figure I’ll stop in since it’s right across the street.

Kohl’s is having really good sales, I’m tempted to go. But I don’t want to fight the traffic on either Kirkwood Hwy or Concord Pike, seeing as there really isn’t anything I need.

It seems like all the rumors floating around on the boards are pretty reliable. Superdoubles will be at all Kmarts from Nov 30 to Dec 6. This gives everyone plenty of time to plan & clip! Remember, all coupons with a value up to and including $2 will be doubled. Of course we won’t know what sales are going on until that Saturday, but start organizing now. As it gets closer I’ll post the discussion threads.

Whew! Now that this week of Superdoubles is over………the couponers on the various chat boards are talking about next time. None of this is verified, but several shoppers have reported that in chatting with cashiers and managers, that Kmart plans to do this monthly. If that is the case, it totally changes how I clip and sort my coupons. Another rumor is that Superdoubles will be here again on November 12. I repeat, at this time, none of this is verified and it’s all just internet rumors–but good to keep in mind as you are clipping & sorting.
