Doubles at Kmart

I ended up going to Kmart on Sunday. I didn't end up with a whole lot, but it was more of a scouting trip for me then anything else. I have a great stockpile of most heath and beauty items so I don't like to spend $ on them if I know I can wait a while longer and possibly get them for free at WGs or CVS.

I went with a friend from church and her neighbor. It was fun, but we were pretty thorough. We ended up spending about 3 hours going up and down ever isle that would have products with coupons.

In the end I ended up with:

4 Fruit of the Loom tank tops. Clearance price was $.99 and I had $1/2 MF. These didn't double, but I was able to get a refund from CS.
5? Loreal eye shadow. I think the price was $3.79, -$2/1 MF
1 Gillette men's body wash $3.99, -$2/1 MF from this weeks insert
3 Johnson and Johnson's First aide. Two gause pads and a roll of tape. All under $2, -$1/1 MF
1 Life Savers bag $1.79, -$1/1
All of these were free after coupons so all I had to pay was tax.

I also got:
6 Betty Crocker cake mixes $1
6Betty Crocker Frosting $1.50, -$.50/1
I also got $1 off because I bought 5 or more in a single order.
These were for Simple Supper and ended up being $8

All in all there were some good deals to be had. Most of the free items were already gone when we got there, but I think they restocked midweek. A couple of friends went throughout the week and seemed to find much more then I did. One said that her total was over $300 before coupons and something like $120 after coupons with some items not having coupons.

I would probably go again if they offer it. I think your success will kind of depend on what you are looking for. I was personally disappointed in the amount of groceries that they offered. There was only 2 isles with groceries. One of which was only a one sided isle with candy and cereal.
