KMart is doing it again! Many stores around the nation are offering Super Double Coupons from October 1 (that’s today!) through October 5, 2008. And this time around, the Olathe and Overland Park stores in the KC-area are included! Now if only I felt up to hot-and-heavy couponing!
The list of stores participating is here (thanks to Mercedes). However, Christy emailed and said:
I called my local Kmart and they said they were NOT participating. So, I called the Kmart Customer line @ 1-866-KMART-4-U and talked with a rep. I asked her for a list of participating stores and she said this was for all stores. I asked her how I could let my store know that they were to honor this and she put me on hold while she called and told them how to key it it manually!
So, tell your readers to call their local Kmart first and if they say no tell them to call the customer serv. # and let the rep call their store. She said all Kmart stores are to honor this deal.
I would love to hear if others of you have the same experience. Wouldn’t it be cool if this deal was truly nationwide?
There are some exclusions and details which need to be noted: Coupons up to and including $2 will be doubled. No overage will be giving. Only 4 of the same coupon may be used per transaction. Limit of 75 coupons per customer per day. No printable coupons will be accepted.
That said, there are likely plenty of great deals to be had. Mercedes lists a bunch of deals she came up with here. If you come up with others or post about deal you find, please email me the link so I can add it to this post.
It’s been so long since any store around here has had super doubles, I just might work up the courage to hit KMart myself! We’ll see!

I did pretty good at KMart: $120 worth for TWO BUCKS PLUS TAX AFTER REBATE. Check out pics of my haul and see how I did it here: http://momsbyheart.blogspot.com/2008/10/take-look-at-my-kmart-haul.html
Small world Melissa! I am in S. Point !!
Well, I am going to call my kmart shortly and make sure i don’t waste a trip, that they are still going to honor what the Cust. Serv rep called and told them for me and make sure someone who is on the same page as me will be there. As a customer I want to make everything as convenient as possible for them so, it can be as hassle free as possible for me! If not I guess I could take the 30 minute trek to New Boston!
Thank you for posting. Last night I saved $90.50 with coupons!! My family is set with a lot of products for the year.. with some goodies for my church’s food pantry!!
Brenda (and others) in Grand Rapids, MI -
I called the Byron Center/68th store and the toll free KMART-4-U # and both said I could only do it if I brought an actual ad (not a copy).
Brenda,
I had luck with the Plainfield store in Grand Rapids. I just went to the customer service desk. It took the cashier an extra minute or two to read through the instructions, but she did it and got it done. The manager there was very pleasant about the whole thing!

Here’s the deals that I found:
http://sarahsdeals.blogspot.com/2008/10/kmart-deals-i-found.html
My husband and I went last night around 10:30. I just took a few coupons to see if they were doing it and since I didn’t have a lot of ‘free’ cash at the moment I didn’t want to overspend. We got two bottles of the gilette shampoo, three bottles of pert plus shampoo, 1 glade candle holder, 1 glade carpet fresh, 1 Endust, 1 Dawn Foam Refill and 2 Old El Paso Taco Shells. Everything was free except the dawn foam refill, I paid $1.29 for it. I went through my coupons when I got home and will try for some more saving tomorrow.
I went to the K-Mart in Smyrna, TN and had good luck! One thing no one else mentioned that is FREE is Dove Shampoo and Conditioner- smaller bottle, but on sale for $3.99- use $2 MFQ /Doubled to 1.99= Free! Also- Huggies Natural Wipes ($1.99) back in the baby section were free after $1.00 off bath and body MFQ/ .99 doubled.
I Just called cs and they said that there was some confusion about this for a couple of days, but no, not all stores are participating.
It sounds like the rules changed, so count yourself lucky if your store is not on the list and you got in on this deal! I didn’t and I’m super bummed!
I see that Cover Girl is b1g1 free and PG insert had a $1 off coupon and I have a M and M coupon and those are marked down too. So I’m going to try it. Have you been to either of our local stores Crystal? I’m closest to the Overland Park Store.
Called Kmart customer service and they said there is NOT a nationwide sale going on but that MANY stores are involved, she was very nice and checked for me and unfortunately my store here in Redding, Ca. is not participating, matter of fact I do not think that this store has EVER had a double coupon day.
I just went to Kmart again this morning. Spent aroun 110.00 dollars and only paid .32 cents for everything. Another great shopping day.
Mine was not participating but I called ahead and they said they would honor it if I checked out at customer service. I believe I got overage on stuff too, especially some kotex at +71 cents each. I spent just over $7 and saved $25. Posted pictures and cost breakdown at my blog http://milkallergymom.blogspot.com/2008/10/kmart-10-2.html
I don’t even have a kmart within 100 miles so I don’t have a chance
I don’t like Kmart so it’s not usually a problem but with this doubling thing, I would have done a big trip
I had no problems other than the time it took for them to put all my coupons in manually. Also, I didn’t try to get everything free, so i did spend a bit on things I needed or could put back that I knew I couldn’t get any cheaper.
Also, they gave me all the overage on the coupons too

Today was my second trip to kmart where they said they did not honor the double coupons but after telling them with the ad i printed (which was just money saving mom page) customer service said they had to honor it. Today’s trip I got:
5 colgate 8.2 oz toothpaste
2 Gilette shampoos
2 Bic Womens Razors
1 Bic mens razor
tylenol pm 20ct
tums
2 Aussie shampoo’s
4 pert plus shampoo
renuzit pearl scents
glad candle
2 easy mac mac and cheese
and a pair of dora shoes on sale for $13
for a total of $9.29 plus 5.05 in tax
so basically i paid for the shoes
coupons tendered – 67.00
total kmart savings – 12.99
on my first trip my total was $9.45 with 5.74 of that being in taxes and i got 13 shampoos all together along with my other stuff. thanks to this site for all your great information and deals everyday
I had lots of fun at my Kmart today! My Kmart was not on the list so I called and the manager said that they would honor the deal. YIPPPPPPEEEEEE!
I spent $45.xx for $138.xx worth of items. I was very pleased. I was selective because some of the Kmart prices were higher than prices at my CVS, Walgreens and Kroger. For the most part, I only used coupons that were $1 or higher.
One of my best deals was for Fruit of the Loom pocket tee shirts. They are on sale this week and I still had $1 off 2 coupons from the Sunday paper. My husband wears the navy blue ones under his work shirts and I stocked up. After coupons I only paid $1 for each shirt!
I am going to look through my coupons again and will be heading back tomorrow night!
Thanks for posting this information.

I was very pleased with my purchases!I am glad i didnt take the kids cuz it took forever to shop here! i havent been to this store in ages so i was kinda lost!
Well, I’m never doing THAT again.
I dislike Kmart as it is, but now I REALLY have a reason to dislike them. The registers have only one screen, and it’s BEHIND the cashier, several feet away from customers, and it almost impossible for the customer to read. Thus, I was helpless when she rang up items (I couldn’t tell if they rang up the correct price), and helpless when she scanned the coupons (I couldn’t see if they were doubling correctly). It wasn’t until after I left that I found out that several coupons didn’t double (they were only $1, come on!) and several didn’t even scan at all. I lost $8 to a bad cashier, and there was no way to PROVE it to customer service.
And don’t get me started on how ridiculously inflated their prices are! I could use that same coupon, un-doubled, at Walmart or CVS and get a better deal. It’s not worth it to shop at Kmart — even on a double coupon day.
Wow. I just got back from K-Mart and snagged $120 worth of stuff for $60! (Check out my blog for the full story:
http://thedimedivas.blogspot.com/2008/10/fabulous-and-k-martin-same-sentence.html)
It seems that even if you use a coupon for $3, they will “double” it up to $2 – so you’d get $5 off. This is such a fantastic promotion. I hope K-Mart does it often.
This is the email I received from C.S. regarding the double coupons, maybe if you print it out and show it to the kmart Manager they will HAVE to honor it!

So, made the trip today only to find out that only certain nationwide stores are doing the promotion. There are what they call “Ad Stores” Mine was not and they said that they asked if they could be but they were not physically able to key it in manually. If you are driving very far, make sure you call to check.
I live in Western NY, I called my NF store and they said they would honor it– I made out very very well, be sure to look for coupons in the shampoo isle, I got Suave Shampoo for free after using the 1.00 Manf coupon in the isle. 1.49- 1×2 = Free, you can use as many coupons as you would like and really stock up. As a teacher I get asked to make a lot of donations of “health and beauty products” to various organizations that help young women, they will love the shampoo and it was free!
I went to my local KMart today, and after spending an hour finding all the good buys, the cashier told me they weren’t doubling coupons. I asked to talk to a supervisor and explained that KMart Corp. had authorized doubling nationwide. She called another manager, and he said that because our area ran the promotion 2 weeks ago, they weren’t runnng it again this week. Hubby said we just needed to pay for our stuff and go, so I paid the $70 bill (after $30 in single coupons) and left the store pretty upset.
But that’s not the end of the story! I came home and called Kmart Corp. They said that the rules on this promo are changing every day, but today the promo is nationwide. They took my info and said my local KMart manager would call me and make things right…He called within a couple hours and offered to give me the $30 that I should have had taken off my bill on a KMart cash card. I just have to go back to the store sometime next week to pick it up. Hopefully it’s a happy ending!
I went to K-Mart twice today and racked up on lots of free and cheap stuff. I posted a picture and details at FunandFrugal.com.
Back from KMart. Customer service refunded $30 (from coupons that should have doubled) back onto my credit card, and after returning a few things that rang up too high the other day, I left almost $70 richer! KMart might be growing on me a little…
