I’m furiously matching deals now. I was up late last night reading about the double coupon sale this week at Kmart, and today in the mail I find out its here in Cincinnati too!!! Kmart is doubling ALL coupons up to $2!!! That’s right, a $2 coupon is now worth $4!! Deal runs Wednesday Oct 1st through Sunday Oct 5th! There are a few rules, which my pal Melissa has posted over at SavingCentral. Also, note NO overage will be given–the computers are either automatically adjusting or beeping. IP’s are YMMV. Their corporate policy says its up to the stores. There’s also a $5/$50 coupon out there–sign up on Kmart’s website! Off to the races!!
I’m potentially seeing cheap(er) diapers, possibly free olay products, toothpastes and $1 a bag halloween candy. May even be free..give me a few to match the q’s up!! Be back ASAP–I’ll be updating this as I find deals!
Q’s I see that may be a deal–these will double:
- $1 off Any Tide–doubles and on sale so $3 after coupon. (ac)
- $1 off any Pantene–doubles and on sale for $4 so $2 ac
- $2 off Gilette shampoos and conditioner–doubles to $4 and on sale for $4, so FREE!
- $2 Goodlife cat food–doubles to $4 and supposed to be $4.79 a bag, so .79 bag cat food!
- ,75 off Kotex pantiliners — doubles to $1.50 and they are priced $1.29
- .55 off Hefty OneZip–doubles to $1.10, if store carries travel pack Hefty OneZip, FREE!
- $1 off Purex softener
- BOGO on Glade refills–no doubling, but they are producing $2 cats from what I hear–and the cats double on the next order!! (Rules below on that deal)
- $1 off Healthful Life cat food–doubles and bags are reported to be $1.99, so FREE!
- $1.50 off Pampers
- $2 off Pull Ups
- $1 off Colgate
- $1/2 candy q’s
- $1/1 Juicy Juice (4/$10 sale–2.50 each, minus $2 doubled q=.50 for JJ fun packs)
- $1 off Ban deodorant–doubles and is reported to be $2 at the store
From SD:
My understanding is that if you want the cats to double, you need 1 item for each cat and the item needs to 1) be at least $4 in price and 2) not already have another Q attached to it.

I can’t see the list of rules. Do you have to be a member of the site in order to do that?
Thanks! I’m linking to you!! This is big news. But the link to Savings Central isn’t working for me.
I just called K-Mart and just thought I would mention that the double coupons is tomorrow thru Sunday. I didn’t see that in your info.
I LOVE YOU!!! I called the toll free number and they said all K-marts are honoring the $2 double coupons. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I did this last year and CLEANED HOUSE!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting. I am so excited that I don’t think I am going to be able to sleep tonight as I will be getting coupons together. You might want to head over to hotcouponworld and see if they still have the post up from the ones that have been in the past couple of weeks and see what people got. I am sorry if this is all jumbled I am so excited right now I can’t contain myself.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
I can’t even take it, I want to go right now and take my kids and do price checks but my little one is too tired already. Can you tell I am out of my mind with excitement?????
I am also seeing a lot of people post you can only use 4 of each coupon per order. So keep this in mind when you get there. You might have to do 2 trips in. I know I will. LOL
ohhh…I was thinking hope they have electrasol for cheap.
This is awesome! I am going to put a link for this on my site. Thanks lady. As always, you rock!
I checked their web site for my zip, 45069, and I don’t see the sale ad in any flier at my stores. I guess it is selected stores that will run the promo…
Call CS 800# I was told tonight she didn’t see my store but ALL K-marts are participating.
I called K-Mart and asked about the 4 coupons. They said there is a limit on the number of coupons per item. i.e. if you have 3 tide and 3 coupons they have to be in separate transactions. However, if you have 6 coupons for 6 different items, they can be in same transaction.
That’s not correct. Melissa called every store, and I’ve called the corporate office. The rule is four identical coupons, and 75 coupons per person total.
I was only using those numbers as examples. Sorry.
Here is the fun that I am having with my K-mart store this morning:
I just called again corporate again, because my stores were saying no on the doubling. K-mart CS corporate told me that the store’s GM’s received emails that they are to honor it and hand enter in the coupons for double.
So I called and talked to the manager again who told me she still doesn’t know anything about it. That she was trying to look on kmart.com which it isn’t on. I told her I called the 800# and spoke to CS. She took my name and number and said she would call me back. I am a little disappointed but hopefully by 10 am it will be resolved.
So if you run into problems call again and speak to a GM. The CS rep at 1-866-562-7848 told me if I run into a problem at the store to call the CS # and they will have them do it. LOL
Hope this helps someone else.

I just called the Perrysburg kmart in the Toledo area and they are doubling the coupons up to $2. If you look online this isnt in any of the adds I have seen but I called and its here to: )
I was so excited. There is a link to the list of stores that are participating on moneysavingmom.com. I didn’see my store on list so I called them and they are not participating!! It looks like every other store in Kentucky is though. What a downer, I’d already started matching q’s.
I will call the 800#. Thanks.
I called 800# and my store is not participating. Oh well.
If you like Rimmel make-up, blush is $3.19…use the $2.00q from a couple weeks ago (9/14 or 9/21 - don’t remember), and it will double to be free. K-Mart won’t give you the overage, but free is free!!
So after 3 hours of calling back and forth to the 800# and the store in my area, FINALLY I got what I wanted. I can shop the sale! YIPPY!!!
Thank you LMKIA for posting this.
Well its the best deal I have done yet. I bought $96 of kmart items and payed $31 after tax.
I bought a lot of wash and shaving items for my husband. I found more on sale for him than for me. I did pay full price for my little ones bubble bath. The items I got for free were Dove shampoo and tums. I did get some crest kids toothpaste for .49 each. Colgate for .24 each. Good luck and happy hunting : )
Anne, the national office is requiring all stores to participate, even if its only for one customer. Call again and this time if they tell you your store is not participating, ask for a supervisor. Kmart/Sears CS is notoriously undertrained. Many of them are only looking on the list, and haven’t read the memo sent out that ALL stores are required to participate if a customer asks them to. There is a code they enter in the register and then it does the rest.
The juicy juice is 5 for $10 so it should be FREE! Thanks so much for posting this.
just got back from k-mart. all the really good stuff (purex fabric softener, schick razors) was gone. so frustrating. little miss, i try to follow your golden rule, but it’s tempting, after finding empty shelves on so many occasions, when i finally DO find something good to buy to ‘max it out’.
daisy which Kmart did you go to?
Just wanted to report on my run…I hope to post photos later. $190.xx down to $68. That $68 includes a jogging stroller I found for $20 and two pairs of jeans at full price. So if you remove those, the coupon items alone were $150 bc and $28 ac.
BG,
the one on dixie hwy in erlanger. near the post office.
I can’t wait to be almost as good as you ladies. I didn’t do too bad. I bought mostly cleaning items. $78 bc and $30 ac. Thanks for posting all this info LMKIA.
Ok so I did pretty good but the check out was OUT OF CONTROLL. I did 47 items total was: $164 bc & $13.97 ac. They didn’t have many of the things I went for and they didn’t have any of the cheaper items.
Just wondering…how much was the purex where your at? It was over $6 here. Maybe it was because it was the big ones.
I froze their cash register with all my coupons with was lovely with 2 kids, one of which was screaming and done with being at K-mart. It took about 35 minuets to check me out. It was good times.
But I will go to a different one tomorrow and try and see if they have the other items. I did see a Glade candle which said limited edition or holiday edition on it and it was $2.99 and I believe there is a $2 off coupon. I am going to look for it tonight. I didn’t see anyone mention the Old El Paso it is on sale for 10/$10 and there is a $1/2 coupon from a GM flier. So free. If I see any other items that work out free I will post them.
Thank you LMKIA for all your help again and for posting this. If it wasn’t for you I would have never known.
One last thing…I did see a rebate if you buy $10 worth of Kotex products you can send in for a $5 K-mart GC. If anyone needs one I can try and pick some more up. They also had one for Poise too, didn’t read it. Keep your eyes open for them. They were on a end cap display.
So I went to Kmart ready to use my coupons, I found everything I was looking for waited in the long lines for my total to be 111.00 before coupons. Then the sales lady said we dont take internet coupons. So luckily I only had a few and after taking the items off, I only spend 36.00.
LMKIA- Thank you for posting this. I visit your site/deals often after seeing you on my local news. I live in South Florida. Our stores NEVER offer double coupons. However, my Kmart did today. It was wonderful”Thanks Again”.
My total 210.00 bc and 53.00 ac. WOW!!! Great deal for my area!!!
Some of my best deals were Del Monte Peach fruit cups FREE with Q from web
Free Sunsilk,Dove and Gillette shampoo. Glad Sandwich bags .29 a box. Hershey’s Bliss .50, M&M’s funsize 1.00 a bag. Renuzit Pearl Scents New red or green for the holiday’s FREE. Then the Tide and cleaning items!
I was just there yesterday and saved $75. I spent $30 oop but I bought $14 worth of stuff I did not have q’s for. It was great! They had everything I wanted.
A few things I noticed. The Renuzit Pearls are a money maker. They are $2.50 (I believe) and you can use the $1 q out there. That makes them .50 plus you get a $1 off catalina print out at check-out!
Also, no one mentioned the milkbone soft treats, they are $2.69 and there was a #1 off q in the paper a few weeks ago. This makes them .69. That is the cheapest I have ever gotten them!
There is also a $2 catalina for all the glade holiday stuff if your store carries them. You have to spend at least $10 though.
I just went to Kmart with my coupons and went from 168.00 to 73.00.. Alot already gone. so I hope they stock up as I will be going back.
The real question LMKIA, WHAT was it that you bought at the big K! Also does anyone know if Kmart will issue a rain check if they are out of an item to double your Q’s when they are back in stock????
No, they won’t extend the double coupons on a raincheck. I asked.
Goodness, my receipt was a mile long, but here’s generally what I bought: 4 sunsilk shampoos, 4 styling products, 4 dove shampoos, 4 Healthful life cat foods, 4 Glade gel refills, 1 jogging stroller, 2 pairs pants, 4 Sobe, 1 Peter Pan pb, 1 Downy Total Care, 1 Gilette shampoo, 2 bags Milky Way fun size, 3 boxes Cheese Nips, 1 pkg Halloween Oreos, 3-4 pkgs various cat treats, 4 Air Wick sprayer thingys, 4 cans lysol spray, 1 10 multipak Whiskas pounch cat food, Revlon lip gloss and Revlon nail polish, and a few other things I can’t remember right now.
LMKIA, Hope you don’t mind me asking what is the price on the Glade Gel Refills?
I got FREE Tums smoothies today $1.78 = FREE after coupon.
Found K-mart These beauty books and I wish I picked up more when I was there with $2 off Dove body soap and $2 Dove lotion which made them dirt cheap, not free but still awesome. I think (this is a HUGE maybe I might go back to the other store and get more), I love this body wash. So keep your eyes out for those too.
Hope this helps someone.

I don’t want to spoil the party - but what are you guys buying tht you can’t otherwise get at CVS?
A $20 jogging stroller! LOL!
For me it was the cat food. My Kroger STILL has not restocked from August’s Purina/Nestle deal, so I was happy to get mine for free before the q’s expire. I rarely get Sunsilk or Dove or bother with those deals, but since they were free and I’m collecting for Guatemala, I went ahead and took advantage. None of it is something that I can’t get elsewhere most of the time–but I happen to have the q’s now and wanted to stock up in one week, instead of spreading it out at CVS. Much as I love Ashley, CVS is another store like Kmart that I wouldn’t shop at if it wasn’t for ECB’s. They’re too expensive otherwise! So another store that gives me similar deals, even closer to my home, is a good thing!
This was awsome. I went today after reading about it here this morning. I got 116.00 worth of stuff for 27.00!!!! My husband always makes fun of me when I clip coupons out of the sunday paper so I think I showed him up this time lol. THanks for posting this, As I always get to keep what I save in using coupons every week, this will make a nice nail and hair treat for my daughter and I…
I have helped a TON of people with the K-mart deal who wouldn’t otherwise coupon. I got them started with a good base of stuff to add to. I got my sister in cousin into it a couple of weeks ago in California and now they can do it again. So this is great. I got my sister into couponing who I NEVER thought in a million years would even buy a paper. I also was low on shampoo here because I had given so much away. It is nice to know even though I have so much I can help someone else out and it won’t even make a dent in my own stock. I gave 5 HUGE boxes away to a friend a couple of weeks ago and I am so happy I was able to help. This is has been awesome to stock up within two days what I could do all year at CVS.
Sorry to go on and on.
CVS is a much more complicated system for many people. Buy this get this back then roll it…it works, but for many it makes their heads spin. Something like this is a very simple, one step deal. I still love my CVS, but I can have some fun at Kmart too.
Great deal- thanks for the heads up! Bummer though, I printed a ton of internet coupons, and I couldn’t use them. They had a printed paper stating that internet coupons were not allowed. Darn.
Was anyone able to use internet coupons? What stores?
I am going to another K-mart today and I thought I saw Whiskas Multipacks on sale for $3.99 that means they are FREE with the $2 coupon. I will report back later today.
You guys are making me reach for my binder
I got the Whiskas. They are free!!
LMKIA,
Thanks!!
I didn’t know where I should post this question. I signed up for your next class but have since changed email addresses. Is there anything I need to know about the class or should I just show up with a copy of my receipt? The class is meeting from 9-2, will we break for lunch or should we pack something? I went to Kmart BTW and got some killer deals for my stockpile
We’ll break for lunch. If you signed up via paypal, I’ve got your information. I was going to send out confirmation emails via paypal…so if that’s not your current address, email me privately at Littlemissknowitall at contentquake dot com.
Thanks, I just emailed you..see you Saturday!
