Kmart Haul Double Coupons Day One

Yesterday was the first day of the double coupon event at Kmart.  I went to take advantage of the latest surprise points they sent me.  What I love about Kmart is that they keep track of what you purchase and send you surprise points that you can use to get more at a later date.  I buy all my bottled water there.  I can honestly say I haven't paid for bottled water in months!  I receive email from them with surprise points for my water on a weekly basis.  I combine those surprise points with shop your way points and coupons that print at the register to get free water bottles!

The transaction on the left was pretty easy, but my Kmart has a high turnover rate and the cashiers aren't probably trained (neither are the supervisors).  My husband discourages from going there because of the hassle.  However, I save so much money on Tide Pods, toilet paper, water bottle and other supplies that I return there frequently.

Here's the breakdown:
The Tide Pods (16 ct) are $5.99.  Kmart gave me surprise points for each: one was for $3.50 off and the other was for $2.  I also used a $2 coupon on each which doubled to $4 off each. Making both of them and giving me $1.52 in overage.

The Pantene is on clearance (Everlasting Ends and Aqualight)  for $2.50 each.  I used a $4 off 2 coupon. That made them .50 each.

The Revlon eye shadow was $2.99 each.  I used a $3 coupon on each which gave me .05 in overage.

I had some change in shopyourway points that came off automatically for a final total of $1.92!

Before I entered the store, I loaded a coupon Kmart sent me that would give me $10 in shopyourway points once I used my points and spent over $15.

I gained $10 in points which I will use in today's transaction!

This is going to be an awesome shopping week at Kmart.  Use the P&G coupons to stock up on all the essentials for 2016.  I'll be back to post today's haul.  Be sure to add me as your personal shopper, so you can get some awesome coupons! 

Free Wet n' Wild Nail Polish!

I'm so happy that wet n wild decided to give customers more coupons for their products.  My daughter's birthday is coming up in November.   I'm making swag bags for all her friends full of all the cosmetics I can stockpile using my coupons! 

If you were lucky enough to live in a region where the coupon was released, you will find two coupons.  One is for .50 off any wet n wild cosmetic and the other is for $1 off the mascara.

ShopRite sells the wet n wild nail polish for .99!  The coupon doubles, so you get it for free.  Kmart has the wet n wild cosmetics 40% off.  The nail polish costs .59 without the coupon, .09 with the coupon!

Whether you have a coupon or not, Kmart is the place to go stock up.  They have a large variety of colors too!

The coupon expires on 10/31, so go get your free nail polish before the stores run out.  ;)  Happy shopping!

Kmart Haul Oct. 11-17 2015

If you don't shop at Kmart, you are missing out on a lot of free stuff that can help you save money on your grocery budget!  Kmart has an awesome loyalty program called shopyourway.  Their program is similar to the CVS loyalty program except you have a longer period of time in which to redeem your points.

As a member of shopyourway, you receive special discounts on products in the store.  For example, there are several detergents that carry a special price for shopyourway members.  They also offer promos that will award you with a certain amount of points (that convert into dollar amounts) when you make a qualifying purchase.  For example, they may offer $3 in syw points when you purchase $10 in Dove hair products.  These points can be used on your next purchase.  They also send out email with customized deals that will get you some awesome savings!  The picture above shows the purchase I made on Tuesday.  Kmart sent me an email that said I would receive:
$4 in points towards the purchase of a 16 count Tide pods in one scent (on sale 2/$10)
$3 off the purchase of 16 count Tide pods in a different scent
$1.50 off the purchase of a 24 pack of Smart Sense water bottles (priced $2.99)
$2 off  the purchase of a Glade candle (on sale $2.74)

I paid $1.60 for everything in the picture!  How?  I used a coupon for $2.50 off the purchase of 2 Tide pods and a .75 coupon for the Glade candle on top of the surprise points they gave me.  I've done this so many times, I haven't paid for water bottles in over a month!  The more you take advantage of the surprise points they send you, the more surprise points you get.  I love that!

Want added savings?  Add me as your shop your way personal shopper!  As your shopper, the syw site allows me to send you additional coupons you can use online or at the store.  I am a frequent Kmart shopper, so I know about their advertised sales and clearance items.  You better believe they have me hooked with their monthly double coupon events!  I use these promo events to stock up on shampoo, deodorants, pet food and toilet paper!  Best of all, you can save your points to make big purchases.  I used a lot of my syw points to buy summer patio furniture, home decor and more!  Don't miss out on free money.

How to Roll Kmart Coupons

In my last post I wrote about the Kmart and Sears loyalty program called shopyourway and how I use it to score free stuff.  This time I decided to share my Kmart haul to give you step by step instruction.

The picture on the left consists of two separate transactions from Kmart.  I made this purchase last week.  The reason why I started here is to explain where I got the Kmart coupons I used on this week's transactions.  So last week, Kmart was doubling up to 5 coupons (per day) valued at $2.00 with a minimum purchase of $25.  I bought a 4 bags of Tide Pods (16 ct) and a 30 pack of Charmin toilet paper.  The total cost was $30.99.  The reason I purchased these particular products was because P&G was offering customers a $10. Kmart coupon when you made a $30 purchase in specific products.  Remember, you had to spend at least $25 to have your coupons doubled.

Here's the exact breakdown:
4 $2.00 manufacturer's coupons for the Tide Pods = $8.00 x 2 = $16.00
1  $.35 Charmin internet printable coupon (find some below) or use Swagbucks = $ .70
Used $7.70 in Shopyourway points

Paid $7.66 out of pocket (oop) and received a $10.00 Kmart coupon for my next purchase.

Today I went to Kmart and purchased 4 Quilted Northern 8 pks of toilet paper and 4 boxes of Ziploc bags 90 ct.  When you purchase $15 worth of those products, you get a $5 coupon for your next purchase.

Here's the breakdown:
2  $1.00/2  manufacturer's coupon for the Ziploc
2  $1.00/2  manufacturer's coupon on QNorthern
2  $10.00 Kmart coupons

In order to use both Kmart coupons, I had to break them up into two separate transactions.

I paid $7.53 oop and received a $5.00 Kmart coupon for my next purchase. 

I decided to use my 2 $5.00 coupons today.  So I had two transactions with the following coupons:

2  $5.00 Kmart coupons
2  $2.00 manufacturer's coupons for Axe gift sets

Each Axe gift set cost $9.99.  I paid $3.29 for each, after all my coupons!

I also picked up the free headphones I ordered yesterday!

I'm very happy with my purchases.  The two sales above are still going on, so go get your discounted products asap!

Stay tuned.  My Target and Rite Aid hauls will follow this post soon!

Feel free to ask questions.  I'll do my best to answer them.  ;)

How I Get Free Products at Kmart and Sears

It's been a long time since I have posted here.  I'm back to share all the awesome things I have learned and all the free stuff I have scored!

CVS, Rite Aid, Target and Kmart are a few of my favorite stores.  These are stores that offer points for each purchase that one can use to make future purchases.  I learned to scout out the freebies to earn points that I use to buy the things I need on a weekly basis.  It's an awesome way to save money!

The picture you see on the left is my latest purchase on Kmart.  The headphones pictured are $25, but they are on sale for $15.  Using my shopyourway points I bought them at $0 cost.  These headphones are great to have on hand for a quick gift.  How did I do it?  I had $21.39 in shopyourway points (syw for short).  I also had $3. in surprise points for my next Kmart.com purchase.  I combined the two to make this purchase free.  If I would have paid for the $12. balance in cash, I would have earned $12.15 in points for the purchase!  These points can be used towards the next purchase.  (These points can even be used in the store.  All you have to do is sign up on shopyourway and add your phone number to your account.  When making a purchase at the register, give them your phone number and your account comes up.)

Every week, Kmart has a variety of products that offer bonus points both at the store and online.  I enjoy hunting these down because when you match up the right coupons, you can really end up racking points you can use to buy anything!  Here are just a few of the things I bought at no cost, thanks to the syw program: a desk for my son, 10 throw pillows, a coffee table, pet food, household items and more.  If you enjoy shopping at CVS and Rite Aid, you are going to love using syw at Kmart.

For those of you that are techies, they have an awesome mobile app.  You can download it to your phone or tablet in a snap.  Through the app you can check to see how many points you have and add coupons to your account.  There are three kinds of coupons.  One type take a dollar amount off your purchase.  Another type gives you points when you spend a certain amount.  For example, you can earn $5. in points when you spend $25 in shoes.  The last kind of coupon is a manufacturer coupon.  These take off a designated amount off a certain product.  They are basically the same as the coupons found in the Sunday paper.  These digital manufacturer coupons cannot be combined with clipped manufacturer coupons in the paper. 

This is a great way to shop, right?  Some of you may be trying to figure out how you can fit this into your schedule.  Are you worried about not having the time to hunt down the deals?  Don't fret.  Join shopyourway , then add me (Alva Ortiz) as your personal shopper.  Leave me a comment on the syw site as soon as you do.  My new clients will receive $5 you can use on your next $25 purchase!  Let's end 2014 with a new way to stretch your money and get everything you need!  I can't believe how much money I've saved.  If you are an avid amazon or ebay seller, you can score a lot of free products you can sell at 100% profit!

Now what are you waiting for?  Go, sign up and collect your $5!
