Kmart Shopping Trip - 6/3/12

Not the most exciting trip, but I did buy a few necessities. I keep going back to Kmart, even though I don't get the best savings and I almost always have some sort of snag at the register. Today was no exception. 

I bought the following items for $19.98 plus tax.

Bounty Basic paper towels 15-pack $9.99 (regularly $14.49)
Used -$1.00 mfr coupon DOUBLED
Cost: $7.99 (making these $0.53 a roll—not too bad, I guess)

Tidy Cats Power Blend 20-lb litter $6.99 (regularly $10.49)
Used -$1.00 mfr coupon DOUBLED
Cost: $4.99

3 boxes Poptarts 12ct @ $2.50 = $7.50 (regularly $3.39 each)
Used -$1.00/3 mfr coupon DOUBLED
Cost: $5.50 (making these $1.83 each)

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes $4.19 (had a sign that said $2.50 but they didn’t ring up that way)
Used -$0.50 mfr coupon DOUBLED
Cost: $3.19

I went back inside the store after realizing the Corn Flakes were $4.19. The lady was very nice and price modified it down to $2.50, so I got a refund of $1.69 + tax = $1.83. 

I was also supposed to qualify for a free 1-lb Sugar Daddy candy with a $20 purchase. They didn’t have them in-stock so they took down my number and are supposed to call when they come in. We’ll see! 

Kmart total before coupons: $28.67 + tax = $30.97
-$7.00 coupons
-$1.69 + tax = -$1.83 Corn Flakes adjustment
My OOP: $19.98 + tax = $22.14
Savings: $7.00, 24% (26% without tax)
