Kmart & Fred Meyer – Toy Clearance

Welcome to Thrifty NW Mom! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe by your feed reader or by email . Make sure to become a Facebook Fan & follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!

I mentioned that Target will be having their big 75% off toy clearance coming very soon – the prices are at 30-50% off right now (keep checking – it could change on Wed or Thurs, so let us know if you see any changes tomorrow). I still think it will be happening next week as that’s the time frame it started last year. I checked last night & there were still no changes at my Target store (Sunrise Puyallup).

Not only is Target having big toy clearance sales, but Kmart & Fred Meyer are also having clearance sales on their toys.  I haven’t had a chance to check out these two stores yet, but hopefully will be heading there Friday after the busyness of working at Vacation Bible School all week is over.

Kmart Toy Clearance:

Kmart has an extra 50% off the  lowest priced this week at their stores.  You’ll find discounts on brands such as Tonka, Little Tikes, Playskool, My Little Pony, Baby Alive, Playdoh, & more.  Let us know what you find at your local Kmart stores!  Thanks Steals & Deals!

Fred Meyer Toy Clearance:

Facebook Fan Melissa mentioned that her local Portland Fred Meyer store has numerous toys on clearance up to 60% off.  You can then use the extra 10% off coupon from the store ad to sweeten those savings.  Let us  know what you find at your local Fred Meyer store.

Kmart Double Coupon Event – Sun 4/4 – Sat 4/10

Kmart is starting up their Double Coupon event on Sunday 4/4 and running thru Saturday 4/10.  The double coupon event is finally back in the Northwest – my local store is participating and I know a number of WA stores are participating as well as some OR stores & 2 stores in Boise, ID.  You can see the whole list HERE.  {I found the NW stores starting around page 24- 25}

How the double coupon event will work:

-Coupons will be doubled up to $2 in value or up to  the price of the item.  If you have a $2 item and the price is $3.25, then it will double up to $3.25 (no overage)

-In order to have your coupons doubled, you need to have a “Shop your Way” rewards card. Register for a card online (you’ll be able to print a temporary membership card) or you can get one in the store.

-You can only double up to 5 coupons per day. This will be enforced by tracking them thru your Shop Your Way rewards card. Hopefully this means that their supply won’t be depleted right away!

Here are a few scenarios to get you started:

Soft Scrub Total $2.99
Use $1.50/1 from 3/7 RP
Final Price: FREE

Johnson Safety Swabs $1.49
Use $1/1 from 3/7 Red Plum

$3 off Snuggle Coupon – Where to Use It

Not only were there Albertson’s doublers in the Sunday paper yesterday, but there was also a high-value coupon for Snuggle Fabric Softener.  Most areas contained a $3 off 1 Snuggle coupon in the Red Plum insert from 3/28 (they were in my Tacoma News Tribune & Seattle Times papers). They don’t expire until May 2nd, so you have some time to use it in case you want to wait for a better sale at your local store.  However, you can find some great deals this week!

Here are a few places to use the $3/1 Snuggle coupon:

Kmart:
Snuggle Fabric Softener  (64 oz) – on sale for $2.50
Use $3/1 Snuggle coupon from 3/28 Red Plum insert
Final Price: FREE (Thanks Fabulessly Frugal)

Target:
Snuggle Dryer Sheets – $3.99 (Thrifty & Thriving is reporting finding them on clearance for $3.68 at her WA store -120 sheets)
Use $3/1 Snuggle coupon from 3/28 RP
Final Price: $.99 (or $.68 if found on clearance)

Walmart:
Snuggle Fabric Softener – $3.97 (haven’t confirmed this price in NW-may be slightly higher)
Use $3/1 Snuggle coupon from 3/28 RP
Final Price: $.97

I’m sure we’ll be seeing some deals at Rite Aid & Walgreens in the near future, too, so you might want to think about buying extra Snuggle coupons from a site such as The Coupon Clippers (this is the site that I always use)-they are supposed to put up more Snuggle coupons on Tues morning, or you can check Ebay.

Let us know if you’ve found any great deals on Snuggle at other stores, too, and I’ll add them to our list!

Kmart – $10/20 PDF Coupon Available – {GONE!}

UPDATE: Kmart is no longer accepting this coupon – they have told some people it is fradulent and others that it’s only accepted in NY. However, this coupon was posted on the main Kmart website – I verified that fact before I posted it yesterday & it stated it was available to use in all areas. Unfortunately, Kmart must not have realized how popular it would be, so they have instructed the stores to no longer accept them.

Wow, another *hot* coupon – Kmart has a $10 off $20 coupon available right now and it’s a PDF coupon.  It looks to definitely be a legitimate coupon as it’s found on the Kmart website. However, this coupon may only be available for a short time, so you might want to print off your copies now!  I’d definitely print in color, if you can, to make sure you don’t have any problems with your store accepting these. The expiration date says 5/15/10.  It does say the $10 off is before taxes & after other discounts (this will vary on your store whether they consider the other discounts to just be Kmart discounts or manufacturer’s coupons).

This would be a great coupon to possibly use with the Kmart doubles that are coming at the beginning of April.  Or you can use them on a few possible scenarios I’ll show you:

Huggies Diapers:

Buy 2 packages of Huggies diapers – around $9.99 each (might be slightly higher in our area so you may not need the filler item)
Buy a $0.50 filler item (gum, candy, etc)
Total = around $20.50
Use the $10 off $20 Kmart coupon
Use two $3/1 Huggies coupons from here (you can hit the back arrow & print again; if you have access to more computers,  print 2 on each computer)
Final Price:  $2.25 per pack .

*The Thrifty Couple is reporting that there should then be a $3 off Kmart rewards catalina (to be used on a future purchase) that will print from the register if you buy these 2 packs of diapers. So, including the catalina – that makes it $.75 per pack of Huggies Diapers!!  This will work only if  your cashier will accept the $10/$20 before manufacturer’s coupons.

Check out Hip2Save for more scenarios using the $10 off $20 coupon, including a Quilted Northern Toilet Paper deal, Pull-Ups, Soda, Princess & the Frog DVD deal & more!

KMart Doubles Coming to NW!

For months now, the Northwest has not been included in the Kmart doubles events.  However, that’s finally changed as Kmart just released the list of all the stores participating in Kmart doubles, starting April 4th. You can find the list HERE.  There are a number of WA , OR  & ID stores participating.  Check & see if your local store is listed! I’m excited that my local store is participating.

How Kmart doubles work:

-You can use coupons up to a $2 off value.

-Maximum of 5 manufacturer’s coupons per day can be used to double

So, you’ll want to start scoping out the coupons you can use for that sale now! Typically most printable coupons are valid for about a month, so you can start printing them off now to use for the sale starting April 4th.  Look for those higher-value coupons up to $2 for the best value when doubled!

FurReal Friends – Smores Pony & Biscuit Pup – HOT Deal!

Kmart.com has a HOT deal on two popular toys right now, which would make some great Christmas gifts, if you want to get an early start!! Act fast, though, as I’m sure these will sell out FAST!! As always, with these amazing deals, there’s the chance that the retailer could pull it and not honor the deal, but it sounds like a number of people have already had their orders ship at this price! So, it’s definitely worth trying if your kids would love these toys as a present!

Update:: Smores is now sold out!!!

*There will be a shipping charge of $12.95, making the total $41.45.

Hasbro FurReal My Lovin’ Pup – Biscuit (Item# 004W011051110001, Model# 705419)

**When you add the item to your cart, there are 2 add’l discounts that will bring the subtotal down to $42.75

If you were to buy both of these toys together, the total amount would be $69.82 – which is a savings of $198.13!!

**You will automatically get FREE shipping when you spend at least $60! No code required – it will automatically be taken off at checkout.
**When you spend $50, you can get an additional $5 off with the code KMART5off50

**The two discounts that were applied on the FurReal Friends above were an add’l 70% off on select featured toys. Also, an add’l 5% off on blowout toys! So, you might want to check out other toys to see if they are on a discount, too, when you put them in your cart!
