Kmart Doubles

Wow, it's been along time since I have logged in, much less posted. I have been so busy chasing deals I haven't had much time to post. My latest chase - Kmart doubles. Now, I hate shopping at Kmart, but I'll shop anywhere that pays me to take their products! Really,who enjoys shopping at Kmart??

This week they have double manufacturer coupons up to and including $2. That means that a $2 coupon is doubled to $4 off a product. This is big because it means lots and lots of free products. They also have a couple of B1G1 free deals which when combined with coupons = hidden overage. Almay products are 40% off so you can get alot more when combined with the $2 coupons that are doubled to $4.

Most of the coupons I have been using are from the Kmart Beauty Book --- and the true "beauty" in that is that the books are FREE!! Doesn't get much easier than that.
