K-Mart Double Coupon Trip

I went to K-Mart to get my double coupon deals and did just okay. I planned two transactions, the first one went well with no problems but my second one was just under $25.00 total before tax and my coupons wouldn't scan double. Long story short, I was told the new double coupon rules are you must have $25 or more in GROCERY items. My second transaction was just under $25 but not grocery. But then again my first transaction (pic below) wasn't all "grocery" either. I just left it at that and didn't worry about the second transaction, I was just ready to go home.

Pictured @ retail & sale prices:

(2) Doritos b1g1 for $3.99 x 2 (the free one came off at the end)

(2) Smart Sense brand Tussin cough medicine $4.39, B1G1 1/2 off ($2.20)

Secret deodorant $2.50

Satin Care Shave Gel $2.99

Crest toothpaste w/ free Scope toothpaste sample $3.19

Oral B toothbrush $2.99

Total w/tax before double coupons: $28.34

Total paid out of pocket after sales & double coupons: $17.80

Total saved: $10.54

So, all in all, I did okay and purchased items that we needed and can use.

K-Mart Double Coupon Week

This week starting 02.27 K-Mart is doing DOUBLE COUPONS again! They will double all coupons up to $2.00! The catch is they only take 5 coupons per transaction.

Saving Big with Coupons! Classes now forming!

I'm happy to announce I'm now offering Coupon Classes! I'm getting ready to host my first one weekend after next. I'll post details about date and time soon. If you're interested in having a coupon class for a group of your family and friends, church group or other organization, please contact me to set up a date and time. Are you asking yourself "what in the world is a coupon class and what do you do at a coupon class"?

At a Saving Big with Coupons Class you'll learn:
*Coupon Facts
*Coupon Lingo- The Language of "Couponing"
*Coupon Policies and Coupon Etiquette
*Where To Find Coupons
*Organizing Your Coupons
*Wal-Greens and CVS 101
*How Wal-Greens and CVS Deals Look On Blogs
*Rite-Aid 101

There is a $10 charge for the class and it lasts about 2 hrs. You will receive a 15 page packet with a wealth of information for you to keep. I will also be giving away prizes based on the number of people attending. If you host a coupon class at your church I will make a donation to your church. Light snacks and drinks are not required but it's fine if you'd like to have them at your class. I will have them at mine. :)

*Once you've learned the basics about couponing you'll save the $10 you paid for the class in your 1st trip to the grocery store using coupons!

Thank you,
