Yet Another KMart Spree 10/30/08

I went last night to KMart (again!) with my sister, Karen. I am still tired from it! But it was SO worth it!!! (Also in tow were DH, 4 kids, 2-1 yr old granddaughters! Yikes! They all behaved though, lucky for me!) Well...here's what all I got this time, # of coupons and amounts, and savings/OOP...

4 Loreal HIP Eyeshadows 7.00 ea (bogo)
1 Halloween bag my daughter wanted for the baby 4.99 (thought it was 50% off but wasn't)
1 Halloween make up 4.99
7 Sally Hanson nail/eye tools 1.00 ea
4 Suave body wash 2.19 ea
2 Almay mascara 3.59 ea
2 Almay play up green eyes 3.89 (for my 16 yr old's gorgeous hazel eyes!)
2 Colgate toothpaste 2.50 ea
1 Tampax tampons 3.49
1 Dove conditioner 3.79
1 Tums smoothies 1.89
5 Rolaids 100 ct. 2.84 ea
3 J&J Buddy Bars .99 ea
1 J&J First Aid Cloth Tape 1.79
2 Reach Toothbrushes 2.50 ea
2 Schick Quattro Go Razors 6.69 ea
1 Whiskas Wet Cat Food pouch .45

2 Lindt Chocolate Bars 2.29 ea
1 Coke 20 oz 1.29
10 Dasani Water 20 oz 1.29
1 8pk Coke 3.34
1 Frosted Mini Wheats 2.67

Used coupons # and amount:
1-.45
1-.75
1-.99
12-1.00
7-1.19
5-1.29
6-1.49
3-1.50
2-1.69
3-1.89
13-2.00
2-2.50
1-3.00

I used bogo coupons for the razors, all the gum, the cat treats, body wash, reach toothbrushes, lindt chocolate and dasani. They weren't going to double these until I told the manager that the cashier did on Tuesday and that's what I based my shopping on this trip. So she was SUPER nice to let me go ahead and double those!

Total savings: 223.68
Total OOP: 18.27

Not too shabby. Higher than I figured it would be (yes I went with a list of items, prices, coupon amounts and final price), but ended up getting the halloween make up and bag. I had figured 7.00 at home, so if you take out the cost for those halloween items (9.98), it ends up being almost right on what I figured! I'm happy with it!!!

Now...Karen did MUCH better than I did! I hope she leaves a comment so you can see how well she did. Let's just say this, at the end she had to add some stuff! Awesome deals!

Kmart manager did say that they weren't stocking again until Monday. I'm thinking this may be one of the last times they do the double deal. I hope not. I am getting such insane deals. It's like Christmas! Plus they were out of a lot of things I wanted and a lot of those would have given me more overage. But I LOVE my Kmart here in Cleveland! They are great, easy to work with, super nice cashier's and managers!

I even met some other couponers and traded 7 coupons for 7 beauty books (in line!)! So they need to have it at least one more time for me to use the beauty books! I hope you all did just as well OR BETTER! Leave a comment and let me know!
