To KMart for some Almost Free Cleaning Supplies and Rebate Products

I heard that KMart had a Catalina OYNO Coupon Deal going on this week for Clorox products.  When you Buy $15 worth of Clorox products you get 2 $5 OYNO Coupons....one prints out after your receipt and the other prints out from the Catalina machine.

I also had a $12 OYNO Catalina Q and a $5 OYNO Catalina Q left from the last round of Double Coupons at KMart that were expiring next week.  And I needed to buy some Capri Sun Drinks (5 boxes to be exact)to finish off the purchases I needed to make to send for the KRAFT Back-To-School $20 Rebate.

The plan was to use the $5 OYNO Cat to purchase some Capri Sun boxes(which had been on sale for $2 ea.).  Then buy $15 worth of Clorox and use coupons and the $12 OYNO Cat to get almost free cleaning supplies AND 2 $5 OYNO Cats, then use one of those Cats to buy the rest of the 5 Capri Suns I needed for the Rebate.

I get to KMart and the Capri Sun are now $2.99, no longer on sale and I didn't have any coupons for these items either.
Drat!

BUT....the Kool-Aid Jammers ARE now on sale for $2.00.  These are also qualifying drinks for the Rebate.
Yay!!

So hubby buys 3 boxes of Kool-Aid and uses the $5 OYNO Cat, paying $1.04 out of pocket for all 3 boxes of drinks.

Then I bought $15.68 worth of Clorox.

2 x Wipes @$2.99=$5.98
2 x Toilet Cleaner on sale @$2.00=$4.00
2 x Bleach @$2.05=$4.10
1 x small Bleach=$1.38

I used 3 $1/2 Clorox coupons, which brought my total down to $12.68.
Apply the $12 OYNO Cat Coupon and I paid .68¢ OOP.
I received 2 $5 OYNO Cats for this order.

We ran out of time to get 2 more Kool-Aid Jammers for the rebate, so I'll drop back into KMart on Saturday when I go out to run errands and use one of the $5 Cats to get free drinks.

So in the end the Kraft Back-To-School Rebate cost me.....
* $1.04 for 5 Drink Products
* $.00 for the 5 Easy Mac Cups.  I bought them earlier in the year and used .55/1 Qs that doubled to   $1.   They were .50¢ each, so free after coupons.
* $2.50 for 5 Cakesters.  I bought them at KMart during double coupons & used 5 $1/1 Qs.
* $6.00 for 5 packages of Oreos. I bought those earlier this week using a Cat OYNO Deal at Weis.

Add in the 45¢ stamp and this $20 Rebate will be a $10 Moneymaker after the cost of the products!

I think I'll donate the Kool-Aid boxes to the Band Camp next summer.  This stuff has the halflife of plutonium so should still be 'fresh' by then and after marching in the hot sun for a few hours in August the kids will need that extra sugar to burn off.  ;-)
