Tried to do this at my Kmart and I was told I can’t use a coupon because it’s already on sale. Tried to explain to manager that every other store on the planet takes coupons whether things are on sale or not. I think they just couldn’t figure out how to do it in the register.

Thanks for this. I am glad I found it in time to get my 4 free items. I had 3 coupons. But, the manager gave me a hard time after 2 transactions.

We went to Kmart today an we had Two of these BOGO coupons, and the Older Cashier said she cant take these coupons when there is a sale for the same thing. I would get it for Free! I told Her Yes that is the Idea I am sill tech. Buying 2 sets as per the coupons state. Se had to go over to the Head cashier to see if she can do this and they called someone on the phone. and after about 5 MINS of a discussion they came back and said I cannot use them. I complained a little then offered a compromise and said I will Use 1 coupon for the 4 items (So I will be purchasing 1 out of 4 (Which is still a good deal) and they would not do it!!! mind you I did have about $25.00 in other items with this order. I have 2 more Kmarts in my area I am going to try one tomorrow with one coupon (for 2 items) instead of 2 coupons for 4 and if that works. I will go out to the car with my groceries and go back in for another 2! I will keep all of you advised on what happens tomorrow!

$60 worth of make-up, 2 lip gloss, two powders, two blush, and paid $2 in tax! I mainly went because I wanted to see if it would work. The guy did ring up a 10.99 coupon for 8.99 and then kept apologizing to me for taking so long…I was just trilled that he was willing to take the time to fix the mistake!

My Kmart store doesn’t carry Max Factor! Bummer!

However, there are some $1/1 Sunsilk shampoo/conditioner coupons from one of the Sunday paper inserts that you can use on the travel sizes at Kmart. Final price is FREE!

Thanks so much! Worked like a charm. Paid tax only for a blush, a powder, and two lip glosses!(would have been valued at 32.00) I have done this at Walgreen’s before never thought about looking for other adds for BOGO. Moral of the story…BoGO coupons are a GOOD THING!

Okay, it didn’t work out perfectly, but here’s what happened:

I got 4 items for $8.99 and 2 items for $6.49, I had 3 BOGO FREE q’s. The register automatically took off $8.99 twice and $6.49 once. Then the cashier took off $8.99 once and $6.49 twice. I tried to explain to her that she should’ve taken off $8.99 twice and $6.49 once but I think she figured out that I was going to be getting them for free then and she wouldn’t. The baby was crying at this point so I just let it go. I even went to the CS Desk afterwards, but the woman there had absolutely no clue what was going on. I ended up paying $4.50 for all of it, $2 something for tax and the $2.50 for her “mistake”. Oh well, still a great deal, but definately not free like I’d hoped! Good luck with this!

My insert has an ad from Max Factor, but no coupons. Detroit area.

Kmart is too much of a drive for me for this, but I also have a $2 off Max Factor, that I *think* came out of either USA Weekender or Parade (the weekend magazines in the paper), expires 6/30. If anyone else has this, I think it could be thrown into the deal for overage?? I’ve never really “couponed” at Kmart though.

I went to Kmart tonight with my 2 coupons of B1G1 and the kid didn’t have a clue what he was doing, but the manager came over and voided what he did out and redid it and I got two mascara’s and two lip glosses and only paid $1.23! Thanks for the heads up.

My coupon is for B1G1 off of face products. Does everyone else have these or do some of you have B1G1 off of any product?

Has anyone tried the buy X get X on next order from Kmart? Do you know if that works for before coupons or after?
Also I saw Ban on clearance at my kmart today for $1.34 – it was on the top shelf, but if you use the $1/1 coupon from the All You magazine (June) it would be $.34!!

I also took advantage of this deal. My coupons said face makeup, so I thought that meant blush or powder. I got 56.00 of make-up for only the tax!! My clerk did not even want to scan my coupons, because he said, and I quote “That’s not fair. You can’t come to the store and get free stuff” I said, that’s part of the game of couponing. I work darn hard to find these deals and you will at least give me the chance and scan my coupons to see if it works. He called his manager and she said to scan it and if the computer takes it, then so be it. Why do people have such an issue with couponing and saving money??

Albertsons also has all Cover Girl and Max Factor makeup 50% off this week (through next Tuesday)…at least here in Northern Florida. Combined with coupons there are surely some good deals to be had.

These are great deals! If I can find those Jumbones, I will have a very grateful cocker spaniel.

Does KMart have a corporate policy that covers the Max Factor BOGO deal, or do store managers decide individual store policy? Thanks for the heads up!

I only had one B1G1 coupon, but my Kmart took it with no problem. Some Pedigree products were on sale, but nothing at my Kmart (in MT) was clearanced. The cheapest things I could find were $2.99. Thanks for the tip, Bobbie!

Sorry, I’m still confused. Bobbie said she got four items total. What Crystal described was how to get two items free except tax. So did Bobbie do two separate transactions to get the four items?

**************
Money Saving Mom here:

She bought four items, used two coupons, got two free from the store, two free from the coupons = four total. The store gave her two free when she bought four, and then the coupons took off the price of the other two. Make sense?

For those confused, Bobbie bought four items (probably each for around $6.99), used two B1G1 coupons, and got two free from the store sale and two free from the manufacturer.

Not all stores/cashiers will allow you to use coupons like this, but coupons are set up to ring through like this and it is legal usage of coupons.
