Kmart super doubles

This week Kmart has been having there super doubles again. Any coupon under $2 will double. However, this go round it is only on health and beauty products so a little disappointing because I wanted more free cleaning supplies! You are only allowed to double 5 coupons per rewards card per day. So I had to drag my poor husband with me everyday I went so that we could do 2 transactions between the two of us.

Transactions 1 and 2
5-Tampax pearl
5-Secret sheer minerals deodorant
Spent $9.05
Saved $40
Transaction 3
5-Bordreaux butt paste (works well on my son's gtube)
1-breathe right clear strips that were on clearance
Spent $4.44
Saved $28.50
Transaction 4
5-Gillette deodorant
5- Gillette body wash
used 5 BOGO coupons for buy deodorant get wash free
and used 5$ off purchase of $25 health and beauty products
Total spent was $1.12
Total saved was $52.25
+ then I got a 10$ rewards for spending more than $35 on Proctor and Gamble products before coupons so it really ends up being a $9.88 money maker!
Transaction 5-6
7-cross action advantage oral b toothbrushes
2-tampax
1-poise liners
Total spent was $2.66
Total saved was $38.15

So in total this week I have gotten 36 items.
I have paid $6.27 and saved $159.15!
That is a 94% savings and == to 17 cents an item!

Walgreens school supplies

With all 5 of us in school full time, it seems impossible to keep a pen or pencil laying around and not having it disappear! So I took full advantage this week of Walgreens starting some back to school sales and stocked up! I had a bunch of 1$ RR to burn through from the Sure deodorant so I used those on my transactions.

In all I ended up with
21- 10 count packs of wooden pencils
13-5 count packs of mechanical pencils
17-10 count packs of pens (blue and black)
1- Cutter mosquito wipes that were on clearance


This was a total of 53 items
Total spent was 6.31 and my total that I saved was $81.40!
That===11 cents an item!
