KMART Super Doubles Redux....Here we go Again!

Guess What??



He's BAAAAAACK!

Yes, Mr. Blue Light is taunting me once again, doing his seductive SUPER DOUBLES Savings Dance.

My Kmart store near Teeny Tiny Town is once again having a Double Coupons Sale! Guess who couldn't resist riding down the mountain to KMart late Sunday?

I held off for what?......a good 7 hours, before I gave in, grabbed the keys and headed to KMart. And I am sick over the ENORMOUS amount of money I spent....
Yuck!
A whole......cover your eyes.....

$25+ DOLLARS!!!

I know.....it's such an outrageous amount of money for me to spend out of pocket.

But my good doubling coupon stock has been depleted somewhat, with the last Super Doubles at KMart, that ended a mere WEEK AGO!

Oh KMart's Mr. Blue Light.....you are a harsh Task Master.

I printed up another couple $5/$50 coupons from online, grabbed the trusty coupon binder and here's what I came up with....

Much better OOP this time.

Total for the Day....

A kind of low percentage for me and KMart but I did buy some things I needed, even though I knew they wouldn't be free or under $1 after the coupons. I even bought some stuff that I didn't have coupons for....the horrors!lolol

  1. You are just kicking some K Mart coupon ass!! Good job! You would be appalled at how few coupons I use. I need to get more serious about my shopping habits.

    Thanks for being such an inspiration!
