Well.....last week was a fog for me.
A fog of KMarts.
Mr. Bluelight is my dealer and KMart is my own personal crack.
I can't say no to a KMart Double Coupons Event it seems....no matter how I try!
*sigh*
I blogged about my first 2 back-to-back trips last Sunday HERE.
I ended up doing NINE MORE TRANSACTIONS(some were multiple transactions in 1 trip mind you). I was doing pretty well during the week....a trip here, a trip there.
It wasn't too bad until Saturday.
I took a Mental Health Day on Saturday. A Mental Health Day for me involves leaving the house by myself....getting away from the dogs, the kids and the hubby.
So where did I go for my MHD this time?
Some times I go to the movies, some times I go to a Chinese Auction(a local form of raffle/auction/fundraising activity).
I went grocery shopping and KMart shopping this time!
Not only did I have KMarts to hit but I had expired & expiring ECBs to use and OYNO Cats for a local grocery store to use as they expired Sat. night. So between the KMarts I squeezed in a trip to CVS, a trip to the local independent grocery store & a trip to scout out a Grocery Outlet I've seen but have never been in.
Like a junkie on Smack I woke up Sunday morning and couldn't remember what all I had bought at KMart last week beyond the 1st day of the double coupons last Sunday.
It was all a blur.
Seriously people.
It was that bad.
It took me all day Sunday to recover physically from all the walking with my poor arthritic knee on Saturday.
I spent Monday digging receipts, OYNO catalinas and bags of stuff out of the car.
I spent Tuesday schlepping everything into the house to photograph and then out to the stockpile or whereever it needed to go.
I spent Wednesday morning writing this and uploading pics.
Here are the photos of the 9 Transactions worth of stuff I got last week, beyond last Sundays 2 transactions.

The Snack Food & Candy....
The Ziploc Bag Collection....

Grand Total for ALL KMart Trips....
Value $812.70
OOP $52.12
Savings of 93.59%
I also earned $55 in OYNO Catalina Coupons for KMart. I spent $15 of those in the course of the week on this loot so I have $40 left in OYNO Cats to spend.
In addition, I have 2 $5 Coupons for Holiday Candy, so after Halloween I can get $10 worth of clearanced Halloween Candy or Christmas Candy.
Hellooooo.....can you say FREE CHOCOLATE?!lol
I also have 6 separate receipts to send in for the SC Johnson Rebate/Buy 3 Get $5 back. The Rebate is a limit of 3 per household, so I can send 3 of them in for BIL. That will give me $30 in rebates bringing my OOP down to $22.12.
