Double Coupons at Kmart! (6/19-6/25)


I read on one of my favorite blogs - Clippin' with Carie -  that Kmart is having a double coupon event June 19th-June 25th. They will be doubling coupons up to $.99.




You need to have a Shop Your Way Rewards card, but if you don't already have one, you can get one on their website HERE. You can sign up and print a temporary card--or you can sign up at the customer service desk at Kmart. If you do not print your temporary card, you can give them your phone number at check out. :) (Also, I double checked, the Shop Your Way Rewards card is NOT a credit card; it is just a rewards card.)

According to Clippin' with Carie, she didn't think Kmart's prices were low enough to make it worth it for her. I haven' been in Kmart for awhile to check prices, but I NEED dishwasher detergent so I'm going to check it out.

For a list of participating Kmarts, check HERE. (I checked the Des Moines area - all Kmarts here are participating.)

Let me know if you go and find any good deals!

Amount of credit from doubling a coupon cannot exceed the current retail price of a single item. No cash or in-store purchase credit will be awarded for any amount exceeding the retail price of the item. Limit 1 coupon for each item purchased. Only 1 coupon will be doubled per item. You may only purchase 4 of the same item using double coupons. Excludes Buy One, Get One offers, Kmart Savings coupons and Kmart Store coupons. Coupons do not apply to sales tax. Offer excludes products prohibited by law, including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medication. Not valid on non-merchandise, federal or state regulated items, prior purchases, Lands’ End, Sears merchandise rung on Sears registers within Kmart and kmart.com. In the event of a return, coupon savings may be deducted from the refund. Exclusions apply. Please see store associate for details. Sears Holdings (Kmart) reserves the right to modify or cancel this program at any time.

A little bit of nothing...

Warning: This post is NOT a coupon or a money saver...it's just me typing, and not being productive.

Tonight is one of those nights when I have a million things to do (although who doesn't)...organize the basement, organize the closet, organize the pantry (do you sense a theme?), edit the girls' one year videos, start the girls' next photo book, download pictures from my camera... instead, I'm wasting time just writing about nothing on my blog...and listening to my daughter babbling while she's supposed to be sleeping. Hopefully by the next time I post something, I will have been productive - or maybe in gotten sleep...I'm tired. Why isn't my daughter?

Someone, please make me feel better and tell me you do this, too! :)

Hope you all have a great night!

50% off Plant Sale at Lowe's

We just went to the Jordan Creek Lowe's to pick up paint - the girl's have basically destroyed one of the walls in the kitchen, and since it's the flat contractor's paint, it's not super cleanable. While we were waiting for the paint, we started looking around in the garden section. MANY plants were on sale for 50% off! We bought some red Asiatic Lilies for our backyard for $1.12/plant! I was really excited - we have yellow Asiatic Lilies in our front landscaping and we love them.
If you go to Lowe's for plants (or something else), let me know what you find at your Lowe's. :)

Oh, and while we were there, I picked up a coupon book of cleaning products - use only at Lowe's. It was on the paint counter.

Target Coupon Policy

Just wanted to let you know, Target has changed their coupon policy for B1G1 coupons.  See below for their new B1G1 coupon policy, and check out Target's full coupon policy. For the best savings, I recommend saving their coupon policy to your phone or printing it and carrying it with you. I have not had to use it, but I have heard of it saving people a lot of money using coupons.

From Target's coupon policy online:
Buy One Get One Free Coupons (B1G1):
  • B1G1 coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two B1G1 coupons on two items and get both for free). Unless stated otherwise on the coupon, the use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the valid items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price.
  • A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.  If a Target B1G1 coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.  If a Manufacturer B1G1 coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.

Print a $.55/2 bags of Goldfish coupon


Go HERE to get a coupon to print for $.55/2 bags of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish

I do not usually shop at Fareway, but it is my sister-in-law's favorite grocery store. She told me the other day, "I'm too lazy to (take the ad in to price match), Fareway does it for me." Fareway *usually* marks their prices down to match competitor's prices around the area.

HyVee is personally my favorite grocery store in the metro area. I love the friendly people, and the drive up is very conveinent.

Walmart - FREE and MoneyMakers

Truthfully, I am not generally a huge fan of Walmart (I personally like Target better), but I do LOVE getting paid to buy items...so I think I'm heading out to Walmart this week to get some great deals on cards and travel items. I found out that I was running out of items in my travel bag, so I need to get some before my next vacation.

**Remember Walmart prices vary from store to store, so double check the original prices before purchasing. :)

**See Walmart's coupon policy - my favorite part -- "If coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the excess may be given to the customer as cash or applied toward the basket purchase." :) If you are going to have coupons that exceed that transaction total, I would recommend having a copy of the coupon policy with you - just in case the cashier needs to see it. :)

FREE American Baby and Baby Talk subscriptions


You can get a FREE subscription to American Baby and Baby Talk from Babies Online.
I had this subscription when my daughters were newborns (and currently) and at one point they had 20% off diapers on Amazon and $10 off baby stuff at Amazon. I haven't seen those coupons for awhile, but I'm hoping they'll come back!! :)
If you don't need/want this, it's a great gift for a friend having a baby.

*Please note, you do have to enter your phone number. I do not like entering my cell phone number, so I skipped this FREEBIE.

Swagbucks Code on Facebook until 4:30 CST

To all of my Swagbucks friends:
Check facebook for a 5 buck swagbucks code - good until 4:30 pm central time.

Don't have Swagbucks, join now. :) You earn swagbucks for searching and can cash in those swagbucks for prizes.  My favorite prizes are $5 amazon gift cards for 450 bucks.  Swagbucks can add up fairly quickly, especially when you get them through searching and coupon use! :)  I think it's one of the easiest ways to earn extra money towards purchases!

Walgreens 6.12-6.18

These are not ALL of the Walgreens Deals this week, just my favorites! 
See the Walgreens ad


*I am out of town for the day, and have not had a chance to go through the Walgreens ad and my coupons.  This list is from what I saw online and from one of my favorite blogs - Clippin' with Carie (THANKS!)  These are not all of the ones she posted or the ones I saw on the online ad, however I did not want to post items that I did not know if the Des Moines area had coupons available. I will hopefully post more deals later this week. Thanks for your patience. :)

I love shopping at Walgreens now, because I can get great deals on a variety of things!! 
Before starting to shop here, I thought it would be a waste of my time to go to another store, but I have scored free body wash, free toothpaste, men's razors for less than $1, and cheap milk.  It has TOTALLY been worth it for me!

*Walgreens accepts both manufacturer's coupons and Walgreens coupons.  Register Rewards ring in as "manufacturer's coupons".

*Walgreens will not accept more manufacturer's coupons than products. (I.E. You cannot buy 1 item, use 1 manufacturer's coupon and 1 RR.  You need to use a "filler" item - I usually do the deal of the week from the ad or something else I may need.
*Hand over Walgreens store coupons last to prevent register "dings".

Let me know if you find any deals that I have not posted! :)

Sunday Fuel Fill Up!

Don't forget that in the Des Moines area on Sundays Kum&Go offers a FREE Des Moines Register with a $15 fuel fill-up ($1.50 value = FREE Sunday coupons!)

You can decide which option is best for you this week!
