My KMart TOTALS for Double Coupons Week 9/27-10/3/09

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 Pet Food....

The Snack Food & Candy....

The Ziploc Bag Collection....

The Cleaning Products....

More Food & Drink....

Toiletries & Medicine type stuff....

The Glade Collection....

More Pet Food....

More Food, Snacks & Halloween Candy....

More Toiletries, Cleaners & Glade candles....

Total for these trips....

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.

June 11th....K-Mart Unilever CAT Deal

So when SIL was shopping in the wee hours of the morning on Monday at KMart, she took advantage of a CAT promo from Unilever. Spend XXX amount and get a Cat good OYNO for XXX amount.
Hmmmm.....

Daughter & I had planned to do a Lemon Cleanse this summer. This is our frugal, low cost version of the "jump-on-a-jet-to-a health-spa-in-Thailand, drink laxative teas and take herbal enemas & relieve yourself into a colander over the toilet" $100 a day Vacation that's all the rage with the health obsessed peeps & the body-hating/self-image celebrity set.

I had been thinking about doing some kind of pre-Cleanse dieting for a couple of weeks to get ready for this internal flush thing.
I noticed that Slim-Fast products were part of the CAT Promo. Even better, K-Mart had Slim-Fast on sale AND I had a stack of nice value SF Qs that K-Mart would be nice enough to DOUBLE for me!
Double Hmmmm.....

So I just had to go buy this.....

4x Edge Shaving Gel @ $1.99 ea.=$7.96**These were from Monday. We weren't sure what coupon limit would be enforced(10, 25 or 75)so SIL had fewer items, so I put these Shaving Gels in her cart and gave her my 4 coupons for them. the doubled coupons made them free. I put them in this picture/on this post because I don't have pictures of all the Slim Fast I bought. It's tucked away with the toilet paper stockpile and I'm not lugging all those heavy boxes out for anyone.lol

9x Slim-Fast Drinks on sale @ $5.99 ea.=$53.91**Not pictured**
1x Bic Razors @ $5.29=$5.29

SUBTOTAL $59.20
TAX $.17

Coupons Used
9x Slim-Fast Drinks @ $1.40 doubled=$25.20
1x Bic Razors @ $2.00 doubled=$4.00
$5 off $50 KMART Q=$5.00
COUPON TOTAL $34.20

$59.37-$34.20=$25.17OOP

$25.17
Savings of 57.5% BUT.....I got a $14 CAT. Yay!.....free money to roll into more free stuff!!!

I promised SIL I'd take her to CVS and WAGS today, so off we went.

At WAGS, I did 2 Transactions, since I had RRs expiring on Sat.

WAGS
Transaction #1

2x Chips Ahoy Cookies @ $2.50=$5.00
1x Purex 3-In-1 Detergent @ $5.99
Hair Clip clearanced @ $.90 It's Purple!!!
1x Olive Oil @ $3.99
1x Palmolive Soap @ $1.39
1x M&Ms @ $.69
SUBTOTAL $17.96
TAX $.50

Coupons Used...
1x Palmolive IVF Q $.40
1x Palmolive $.25/1
1x Chips Ahoy $1.00/2
1x Purex $1.00/1
Total $2.65

RRs Used....$10, $3, $1=$14.00

$18.46-2.65-$14.00=$1.81OOP on Gift Card
Received RRs...$3(Chips Ahoy), $2 (Purex)

Ok, call me crazy but.....notice that yet again, I had 7 items & the register only let me use 6 Qs/RRs in my payment. I tried again to use a $1 Bic RR but the register beeped. I bought no Bic products, used no other Bic Qs and if that $1 was deducted from my total, the OOP would still have been more than the tax I owed.
So what's the deal WAGS?!?!

Transaction #2

1x Purex 3-In-1 Detergent @ $5.99
3x Socks @ $1.00 pr.=$3.00

SUBTOTAL $8.99
TAX $.36

Coupons Used...
1x Purex $1.00/1
Total $1.00

RRs Used....$5, $1.50=$6.50

$9.35-$1.00-$7.50=$1.85OOP on Gift Card
Received RRs....$2 (Purex)

Again, 4 items, but could only use 3 Qs/RRs before the register beeped.
I am now convinced that Wags has reprogrammed their computers to accept 1 coupon/register reward LESS than the total # of your items.

Total OOP Spent today....$25.17
Total Value of Items bought...$96.64
Savings of......74%
RRs Used.....$20.50 I'm good on expiring RRs until Monday June 15th.
RRs Received....$7
KMART CAT Received...$14

Next up, my rare visit to WalMart from June 10th.
