Home Depot - Watch Out A Girl's Night Out

Hom,e Depot Do-It-Herself

Okay, you might think I am crazy but this could be a really fun girls night out.  A bunch of girls hanging out with paint brushes at a Home Improvement Store - I can already hear a good story out of this one.  I know anytime I get together with my friends to work on any kind of project (or grocery shop) we end up laughing our tails off.  I can't tell you how many times I have had to sit down in the middle of a grocery aisle because I was laughing so hard I was afraid bladder incontinence would kick in.  (for those of you who aren't a mom yet, you'll understand after childbirth)

I am being serious I think it would be fun - let us know if any of you get a group together to go.  No matter how much you enjoy couponing - a new adventure now and then makes life more interesting. I'm hoping Jaimie, Kelly, and Jen will come with me.  Click the picture for more info.

Kmart Super Doubles BOOTCAMP!!

ATTEN--TION!

Update - To see the list of participating Kmart stores, click HERE
K-mart Super Doubles is almost HERE!  All of you who plan to join the fray should be thoroughly prepared  -  so here is a Kmart Super-Doubles Bootcamp to help you train.
I've spent the last few hours gathering information, because I want you coupon-recruits to be solidly prepared for the Kmart Super-Doubles Event coming 4/4 - 4/10.  If you have any questions or know of a coupon that would be good to add to the list - leave a comment below!

Part I
 What IS Kmart Super-Doubles?
Kmart Super-Doubles is an exciting (although often frustrating) week of shopping.  During this week, Kmart will double manufacturer coupons up to $2 (Doubled up to $4!)  This makes lots of items FREE - and most people like to play the "Get only the free stuff and leave" game during this event.  This time, Kmart has added some strict rules to the game, and before you can even play you'll have to sign up for the Kmart Shop Your Way Rewards Card.  Your membership won't go into effect for 72 hours, so do it as soon as possible to be ready!  
Here are the other rules you need to know: 
-Manufacturer Coupons up to and including $2 value will be doubled 
-In-store Activation MUST BE tied to your Shop Your Way to Rewards card 
-Does not include Kmart Store Coupons 
-Limit 5 total coupons per customer per day 
-First 5 coupons provided by customer will be doubled
*******************************************************************
Part II

Part III
Catalina Deal During Super-Doubles
See those Asterisks next to some of the items above?  Those are part of a catalina deal that runs through 4/30:  Buy $20 worth of qualifying items (See list below) ~ Get $5 Coupon Off Your Next Order or Buy $30 ~ Get $10 Coupon OYNO.  *The item total is calculated BEFORE coupons!

*Catalina Items*:
Dial, Brawny, Purex, Quilted Northern, Renuzit, Dixie, Right Guard, Sparkle, Soft Scrub, Angel Soft, Tone, Coast, Zout, Vanity Fair


Scenario Idea 
(The Sparkle price is made up- I'm just showing you how this catalina can benefit you)
Buy (5) Soft Scrub Total + a $5 pack of Sparkle Paper Towels
Total Before Coupons is $20 (So you will get the $5 Catalina)
Use (5) $1.50/1 Coupons  (Will double to $3 ea)
Total after coupons is $5 + Tax
Pay $5 for the Sparkle ~ Get $5 Catalina Off Your Next Order
(Like getting the SoftScrub AND the Sparkle FREE!)

I'll have some scenario ideas once I know more prices for those catalina items.  I'm sure that buying Angel Soft toilet paper or Dial Soap will probably make a great deal too - and I'll let you know once I get the price for it!

PART IV  

Why your friends might look at you like you're a crazy-person for going.
Kmart Doubles is a bad word for some, and with good reason!  Here are some troubles folks have run into - and hopefully they've fixed all those problems by now.
  • In the past, there have been little or no coupon limits, meaning folks would arrive at the store after  hours  days of preparation to find the shelves cleared of every freebie. The 5 limit fixes this - but you'll still have to get there early for the good freebies.
  • K-Mart is known for being unpredictable about coupons in general - but ESPECIALLY during Super-Doubles week.  Sometimes if an item is $3.95 and you try to use a $2 coupon (which will double to $4) it will go through fine.  Other times, it will just not double.  Other times the cashier will look at you as if you were trying to steal something and hand it back. 
  • Lots of folks are unhappy about the *5* coupon limit, because with the hassle involved, it's almost not worth the trip.  For those who might try to get around that rule, be warned: The *5* Coupon-Per-Day limit will be tied to your K-Mart Rewards Card.
  • At one time, Internet Printables weren't accepted, then they were.  Then they weren't again.  And so on and so forth - you get the picture.... typical Kmart-ness. 
The list of troubles can get quite long, so let's just say - it's been rough for some.  The main thing to remember is to be calm, kind, and sane enough to let the toothpaste go if you have to.  Then, when you get home, call 1-866-562-7848 and speak to a Customer Service rep.  Hopefully, you can get your issue resolved quickly and efficiently!
    - Thanks,  AFullCup, CommonSenseWithMoney! Living Rich With Coupons,

    FREE Bath & Body Works Shower Gel w/ $10 Purchase

     
    Just got this great coupon in my email - thought I'd share!
    Go HERE to print this coupon for a FREE Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Shower Gel with any $10 purchase.  Hopefully you can find some good deals in the store to get your freebie!  I know they're running a Buy 3 ~ Get 2 Free   or  Buy 2 ~ Get 1 Free Sale on Signature Collection items - this would make it even better!
    *Good through 4/18
