You decide if this is a treat or trick from Kmart! But the store has decided to double coupons with a face value of up to $2 for one day only. That day is tomorrow 10/31. You will be able to double up to five coupons with a $25 purchase. No more than four like coupons will be doubled per transaction and you will need your Shop Your Way rewards card. This is good at participating stores only. Here is the email many of you got.
With such short notice here are some quick deals if you decide to do this one:
Bengay products $4.29
Use $2/1 BENGAY 10/3/2010 RP Insert (exp 1/31/2011)
Pay $0.29 each after doubled coupon
Clean and Clear Scrub $4.49
Use $2/1 Clean & Clear Product (IE) Printable (FF)
Pay $0.49 each after doubled coupon
Gillete Deodorant $4.49
Use $2/1 Gillette Deodorant 10/31/2010 P&G Insert (exp 11/30/2010)
Pay $0.49 each after doubled coupon
Tampax Pearl $4.79
Use $2/1 Tampax Pearl or Compact Pearl 9/26/2010 P&G Insert (exp 10/31/2010)
Pay $0.79 after doubled coupon
These deals are based on regular prices and current coupons.
Thanks Marcia and Julie!

Not that we will need more candy in the house but I might go and use up the candy coupons that expire on the 31st. Makes for some cheep St Nick candy:)
I wonder if that $25 is before coupons or after…
At our store in Florida it is before.
I agree with Heather, b4 or after coupons
probably before…also I clicked on the store finder to see if my store was participating and it showed the one ‘near’ me but is this just a general store finder or does it only bring up PARTICIPATING stores? thanks
John Frieda Hair Care products $5/ea from 10/10 SS Doubled = $1/ea
Biore $5/ea from 10/10 SS Doubled = $1/ea
Sorry, both of those have a $2/1 MQ
There is also a $5 off your next purchase when you buy $15 in John Frieda or Biore products… so if you buy 3 items, that’s $15 before Qs…
The email states UP TO $2. When it says this our store makes it that the coupon has to be $1.99 and under. But will not include a $2 coupon.
One day only? And I have to spend $25? Pass.
Every time Kmart does its Super Doubles, they find more ways to set restrictions and discourage folks from participating. They don’t really want to be bothered, do they?!
I think I’ll be spending my money at CVS and Rite Aid this weekend
I agree. Gradually our Kmart store became so unpleasant (not even to mention the restrictions) about these events we stopped shopping at Kmart. I’d much prefer to spend my money and time at another store.
In my local newspaper (Milwaukee, WI) there is an additional $10 coupon when you buy $35 worth of P&G Products from 10/31/10-11/06/10. In the fine print it is before taxes and other discounts.
This is my hope:
Buy $35 worth of products
Use 5 -$2 coupons that double today (10/31) only. So instead of just getting $10 off, I would get $20.
Then I would get my printed $10 coupon for spending $35 pre coupon.
I would get $35 worth of products for essentially $5.
So I can only use a total of 5 coupons, no more than 4 of the same type?
I went today with some of the Qs Mercedes listed. Of course everything I hoped to buy was higher here at my store in Tampa FL. I still wanted to grab my free pedometer with my Rewards Shopper card. (Remember? It expires today!) It is a pretty decent one that retailed for 7.99!
As I was leaving, I spotted a display of Reach Total Care Toothbrushes for 3.99 with 2.00 Qs. I grabbed 5 Qs and brushes and 2 Gillette hair products (on sale for 3.00 with 2.00 Qs). This made my total 26.00. I handed cashier toothbrush Qs first and got 3.99 off each one and 2.00 off each hair product. Total of 2.00 for 5 toothbrushes 2 hair products and pedometer. My cashier was amazed.
I do agree that is mainly not worth it to bother at Kmart, but I was pleasantly surprised by my deals today!!
Got 3- John Freida Root Awakening, 2 Advil liquid gels, 2 bags Resses Peanut Butter Cups. Had a $10 gift card from scrip that I just had filled (they automatically refilled it for 90 days and only charged me $10!). So my gift card still has $1.50 on it and all I paid for was my scrip. This was at a Kmart that WAS NOT listed as participating. Asked the manager when I walked in the door if they were familiar with the deal and they explained I COULD use $2 coupons. All 5 of my coupons were $2 off and doubled to $ 4
OH and I got a $5 catalina but don’t know why.
Because John Frieda had a promotion on it: Spent $15 (they were priced at $5 before Q) get $5 on your next order.
I went tonight and got 4 boxes of Kotex Easy Glide for $3.99, and used 4 $2.00 off printed coupons I had, one Clean and Clear for $4.79 and used a $2.00 off for that, and 3 $1.00 grocery items. My total was about $24.59 before tax, but over $25.00 after tax. The coupons DID NOT double. I cancelled my order, added another $1.00 grocery item and THEN the coupons doubled. Alot of trouble for free tampons…
