The July KMART DOUBLE COUPONS EVENT WEEK is, as they say, in the books now for my area.
Now that the week is over & my shopping trips are in the books, as they say, I can BREATHE again!
I don't know what it is about KMart and their Double Coupon Events but I get dragged into a week of full-blown Couponing Frenzy every time they hold it!
It helps(or is that hurts?lol)that I have 4 KMart stores within a half-hour of me....7 if I want to make it a 45 min. ride. Mostly I shop at the one just down the mountain from me as it's the closest(less gas used),the people there are so friendly & the store is kept up and organized. It's not always the best stocked, which is about the only thing negative I have to say about it. It's the most "customer friendly" KMart of the lot. 8-))
Here are the highlights of my shopping trips in The Land of Mr. Blue Light last week.
First the trips with commentary & photos, then all the math stuff totals for all you "numbers geeks" at the bottom of the post.
I'm trying a little different format to list everything...listing the details and total OOP for each item separately. Let me know if you like this format better or my old one.

The cashier freaked out...literally! and ran to find a superviror. I tried to add a candy bar to the order so I'd owe a small amount but the supervisor wouldn't let me use the $5/50 KMart coupon at that point, even if I bought something else to add to the order.

Half an hour later...lol...the manager said, she can't figure out why that happened but told the CS clerk to give me the $1.65x2Qs=$3.30 for the difference with the coupons that didn't double and she dashed off to take care of some pressing store emergency. So after finishing with 2 other customers problems, the CS person just opened to drawer and handed me the cash.....she didn't make me fill out anything or generate any paperwork or a receipt for the adjustment-hey, it was a Saturday morning and she was 5 deep in customers! So I don't have any documentation for that adjustment. But I do have the cash money! ;-)
