Problem with KMart Coupon

OK so it appears there are issues with the Kmart coupon for $10 off your next purchase of $20....it seems that when trying to use it at Kmart folks are having problems with the manager telling them it has to be emailed to you and that it was only intended for NY stores...even though that was not printed on the coupon....Kmart is calling the coupon fraudulant even though it was on their website....I am not going to try to use it at Publix even though they would probably take it....Publix is so good about taking all kinds of competitors coupons that is it not worth the risk of using something that could be deemed fraudulant that could cause Publix to want to stop taking competitors coupons........sorry about posting it just to find out Kmart is not honoring it even though they say it is a misprint that it does not limit it to NY stores and that it had to come to you via email....whatever Kmart not a popular or good customer service move......

Great Coupon....You are going to want to get this one!!!

******** Great Coupon*************

If Publix considers Kmart a competitor you are definetly going to want to go here$10 off your next purchase of $20 This is an awesome coupon to have on hand and the great news is that it does not expire until 5/15 and it is a PDF file so no limit on the number of prints so print, print, print, print away!!!!!!!

Print as many as you think you will use before 5/15 and just keep them handy for all of your shopping trips to Publix...just check with your Manager at your Publix to make sure they consider Kmart a competitor and if so combined with your other coupons be prepared to save and save big!!

Thanks to Meagan over at Frugal Fun and Fortune for posting this deal that she found on Frugalista's site

Do not pay the horrific cost of Razor Cartridge Refills

I cannot believe what they want to charge for razor cartridge refills...for the Gillette Fusion Razor it typically will run over $14 for a 4pk of cartridge refills...no let me tell you what I paid for the above 2 brand new razors that include a refill cartridge so you get the same amount of blades that you get with the 4pk refill.

Razors on sale for $7 each. Target had a gift card special if you buy 2 Gillette Fusion Razors you get a $5 dollar gift card. So even just at this if you paid $14 out of pocket for each razor and then took away the gift card you got back I would have paid a total of $9 out of pocket which is less than the cost of a 4 pk refill. But I did not even pay $14 out of pocket for the above...here is actually what I paid.

2 Razors $14

minus $8 used (2) $4/1 coupons from P&G insert

Total Cost of the Razors: $6.00

Tax: .63

Total OOP: $6.63

But remember that I pocketed the $5 gift card that is pictured above so when you take that away the total it cost me was actually $1.63 of which .63 cents was tax so I paid $1 for 4 blades that would have cost me $14 in the refill pack.....now that is what I call awesome savings....at 73% savings on the deal I did today...compared to what I would have paid if I had paid $14 for a 4pk refill it is a 93% savings.....I am constantly looking for these kind of deals so that I don't have gulp as I go to the register and pay $14 for 4 razor blades......

Really Cheap Milk at CVS!!!!!!

Okay I cannot believe the SWEET deal I got on milk today at CVS!!! I went there thinking I was going to be getting a cheap deal on milk because CVS had TG Lee milk this week for $2.19 a gallon with your CVS ExtraCare Card...which is a decent price on milk but I was able to snag a couple of $1/1 coupons from the internet so I am thinking this is really a good price because it would make the milke $1.19 a gallon......and the way our family drinks milk I wish I had a couple more of those dollar off coupons but what I did not expect to happen is what happened when I checked out........I got $2 back in ExtraCare bucks for my 2 gallons of milk so that basically means I paid .19 cents each for a  gallon of milk......

NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A SUPER DEAL!!!!!

Free Purex!!!!!!!

Who said nothing in life is free.....today at Walgreens I snagged 4 bottles of Laundry detergent completely free(well ok I had to pay tax...lol) Walgreens has Purex on sale for B1G1 free and I had 2 Manufacturer coupons that were B1G1 so guess what? Yep the only ones for them to give me for free were the 2 I had paid for so I got all 4 of them for FREE!!! I picked up a couple of big hershey's bars....we love chocolate at our house....and a couple of packs of Orbit gum. I paid a total of $2.96 for the above items........I saved 91%
