Kmart Super Doubles Round 1 – Saved 94%

August 16, 2009

My husband and daughter went with me to Kmart after church today. I had several items on my must-have list, and you’re only allowed to double 10 coupons per person per day. So, my husband graciously agreed to check out and use 10 coupons, and I did the same.

Our totals for today:
Total Merchandise Value (both transactions) – $69.64
Total Out-of-Pocket Cost: $4.04 plus tax
Savings: $65.60 (94%)
We also got two catalinas of note, one for a $20 gift card with a new or transferred prescription and one for $5.00 off any $5.00 purchase (health, beauty, food, consumables, books, or magazines). I may do one more trip later this week to use the $5 off $5.
Here’s how we did each of today’s transactions, including the coupons that we used.
