K-Mart Super Double Coupons

Some K-Mart stores are offering the Super Double Coupons again. You will need to call to see if your store is participating. Some are not participating, but will honor the super double coupons.

K-mart is doubling coupons with a face value of up to $2. That means if you have a $2 coupon, you can get $4 off the product. One exception is if the product costs less then the double coupon amount. Then you will just get the item free. You will have to pay tax on the item even if you get it free.

There are many deals to get with this sale. Check out Coupon Cravings for a few.

Flowers

Ryan gave me some flowers a few weeks ago. I thought they were so beautiful, I just had to take a picture. We finally had to throw the flowers out because they died, so I thought I would post the picture for everyone to see.

He gave me the flowers for no other reason than he loves me. I thought that was so special. I am lucky to have such a great husband.

Walgreens Trip

I went to Walgreens on Monday this week. I found a few good deals. Here is what I got:

• 2 Crest Toothpaste @ $1.99 each
• 2 Playtex Tampons @ 4.00 each
• 1 Loreal Cleansing Cloths @ $6.99
• 3 Brachs Candy @ $1.50 each

So, 1.99 + 1.99 + 4.00 + 4.00 + 6.99 + 1.50 + 1.50 + 1.50 = 23.47

Coupons Used:

• 2 - $1.00 Crest coupons
• 2 - $1.00 Playtex printable coupons
• 1 - $1.00 Loreal coupon
• Easy Saver Crest Coupon $2.00 ($1.00 each)
• Easy Saver Playtex Coupon $2.00

So, 23.47 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 - 2.00 - 2.00 = 14.47

Then I used a $10.00 & a $4.00 register reward bringing my subtotal to $0.47.

So I paid $1.17 on my gift card and I will get $6.99 (+ 0.70 bonus) back on my gift card for next month.

Fabreze @ Kroger

I thought I would share one of the deals at Kroger this week. The Fabreze Noticeables are priced at $7.75 each. There was a $5 coupon in a recent newspaper and you can load a $5 coupon to your Kroger Card HERE.

I went tonight and was able to use both coupons. The one loaded to your Kroger card automatically comes off and then the cashier scans your paper coupon.

Here is how it should work:
$7.75 - $5.00 (from Kroger card) - $5.00 (paper coupon) = -$2.25

Just make sure you have enough to cover any overage.

NOTE: You can also find the Fabreze Noticeables at Wal-Mart for $5.97 making it only $0.97 with the $5 coupon.

Homemade Tutu

The picture is a little dark, but you can see the tutu I made for Cassidy for her birthday. I gave it to her before her birthday so she could wear it to her dance class on Thursday evening.

I found a tutorial HERE.
