Attention Kmart Shoppers! Double Your Manufacturer Coupons

Seriously? What a royal pain. K-Mart is making a huge mistake with being so coupon “unfriendly”. They have had amazing advertising for FREE with 2 couponers doing all of their shopping at K-Mart on the show Extreme Couponing. Yet, here they are saying you have to have a minimum purchase of $25 and you can only double 5 coupons per day and only up to $1 value (which is the only part I’m fine with).

If K-Mart want some input from customers, here you go. The store in Nampa, Idaho smells bad. They have one aisle of food products which isn’t enough to bother. Everything is crammed together, and the shelves are stocked haphazardly which makes it hard to tell what price belongs to which item. You want couponers to come in for food and drugstore items, match it up with a great sale and offers, clean up your shelves and have items in stock. And for crying out loud, do away with the 25$ minimum purchase. 5 coupons doubled per day is fine but I can get anything I want or need some place else for less with those types of restrictions. I wouldn’t spend the money on gas to drive 5 miles to check it out.

however Walmart will match the doubling,,,so if you are going to walmart anyways to buy something might as well take your 5 coupons and get them while you are there. But I agree I would not go out of my way for this.

My question is the same…did Walmart honor this? (Want to know for next time.) Ughhh I used a bunch of coupons at Walmart today!

I went to my Walmart on Overland. It was a little frustrating. Seems like one of those where nobody is on the same page. At CS I was told they were matching the whole promotion ($25, 5 coupons etc) I needed printer ink, so I knew the $25 would be a non-issue…Got my other 5 items. Coupons were $1, $1, $1 and (2) for $0.75. At check out I went tothe same CS guy. When it came to my coupons, he didn’t understand that he needed to adjust the item cost THEN run the coupon. He called over another checker and SHE said they had to be UNDER $1. I showed politely her the Kmart ad, but she insisted that they could not do more than $0.99. I thought, oh, at least I can still doulbe my $0.75 ones. However, he never asked her how to do it and just said he didn’t know why they were not automatically doubling. I politely explained again that other checkers adjust the price down THEN run the coupon. He just stared at me, puzzled. (I have a few checkers I like to go to, but I was ushered to him…) I thought about going to CS again, but didn’t want to bother with the line to get my $1.50 refund. Oh well…maybe next time!
