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!

Thanks Pinching Your Pennies!

More back-to-school sales – Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Kmart

There are all sorts of back-to-school sales going on this week! Is it me or does it seem like it’s just too early to start thinking about back-to-school?! I feel like the summer just flies by way too fast!! I’m loving this beautiful weather we’ve been having out here in the NW, though–little to no rain at all this summer – amazing!!!

For those of you who may not have kids in school yet, you don’t have any kids, or your children are all grown, you still might want to check out the really low priced school deals!! It’s a great idea to stock up and maybe help out your local schools!! Having worked in the public schools for over 7 years, I know how important donations are for schools and what a difference it can make for the students in those schools so that the staff can make sure that the students in need can have the same resources and supplies as all the other students!!

Another option is to save your supplies for Operation Christmas Child, a great organization where you fill shoeboxes with personal hygiene products and school supplies to give to needy children around the world while sharing God’s love with them. The boxes will be collected in November, so it’s great to start collecting even now with all these deals on school supplies and then all the drugstore deals! You can check out a great post by Frugal Living NW on “Shopping the sales for charitable giving”

Kmart Doubling and Tripling Coupons

In certain areas around the country, Kmart is doubling coupons up to $2 in some areas and tripling coupons up to $.75 in other areas. You can find out what they are doing in your area by going to http://www.kmart.com/ and put in your zipcode to see the weekly ad for your area. If they are doubling or tripling coupons, it should say that on the front page of the ad. I found out that our area Kmart’s are doubling coupons up to $2. This is nice especially when you have to buy a lot of diapers–if you have a $2 off coupon, you can then get $4 off the diapers! Every little bit helps!!
