Several shoppers are reporting on this HCW thread that for the 15/30 deal at Acme, that regular shelf prices are counting toward the total. I have not found this to be the case, but I may try again later in the week. On the thread you’ll see which products are working and which aren’t.
Rumors about Kmart Superdoubles
November 2, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
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.
Slow week coming up
October 30, 2008 by · 1 Comment
On Wednesdays I get my weekly ads in the mailbox for the following week. Overall looks like a slow week, but I like slow weeks once in a while, to take a break.
The Giant ad is a bust, imo, not going there.
Walgreen’s–don’t see anything that warrants a special trip. Celestial Seasonings tea is free with recent mfr coupon and wags coupon. But for some reason I only have one mfr coupon and I went thru all my inserts. Schick Quattro razors are also a good deal if you have any bogo coupons left and combine it with monthly booklet coupon. But I’m not making a special trip for razors.
Kmart–I need a break. I did two trips this weeks. Yesterday I got about $50 worth of stuff for $7 so I was pleased. More of the same-Vaseline intensive care lotion, dove hair care, Glade, some candy for Friday (on sale 3 for $5, use the $1 off 3 coupon to make them 3 for $3), had a Capri Sun catalina from Acme for $1 so my capri sun was $0.50.
CVS–The November monthly deals start and there is a Pampers deal. I’d like to get some Pampers but not sure I have enough ECBs. Have to work on this one. Other than the Pampers, nothing warrants a special trip, imo.
Acme-check out the back page of the ad. There’s a combination deal of General Mills products and Unilever–spend $30 get $15 back. This deal I’ll probably do as part of my weekly shopping trip. There are dozens of items included, and I figure that I can spend $30, then with coupons get my total down to about $17 or $18, and get $15 back. I’m pretty sure there are coupons out there for just about every item listed, so compare your coupons against the list. I’m hoping that this catalina will roll, so I’ll do a transaction, then use my $15 cat to turn around and do it again and hopefully get another one. Don’t forget to go to eatbetteramerica and get any GM printables you may need.
slow week at Walgreen’s

I found $9 in RR in my purse that were going to expire this week. I really hadn’t planned on going. I wanted to go to Kmart this week and that’s it. But my inner miser will never allow me to trash $9, so………….here’s what I did
4.50 pedialyte
4.50 pedialyte
0.67 clearanced sandwich bags
Used
-1.50 pedialyte
-1.50 pedialyte
-4.00 or -5.00 RR (did this transaction twice)
Paid $1.71 and $2.71 for the transactions, got $2 RR back each time. Not fantastic, but $4 for a four quarts of Pedialyte is a great price and I have another $4RR. It’s normally over $5 a quart. And I’ll be glad that I have it on hand when illness strikes.
