Its worth it, but still...Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) I make sure I get everything the same UPC since I hate the pop up screen and it takes to long. I just know they will be out of stock on my juicy juice which I ordered coupons for...I miss hearing Bill Clinton speak today at the UCF arena for free, because I had to be at Kmart early to get in on the deals..laugh out loud

IMO, the runs go much faster if you dont worry abt the pop up screen...The screen just shows matching products and cashier selects one..It is no hassle...And then you dont have to worry abt matching UPC

I just read a whole bunch of pages from the KM thread and my head is spinning! The possibilities!! The doubling up just started today, but I am kicking myself for not knowing sooner!! I will venture out tomorrow and see what I can do. I most definitely need laundry detergent. And, of course, more dipes. I still have to look thru my HUGE piles of coupons and see what I need to pull out for a newbie run tomorrow. Embarrassment

Yes, I'm starting a poll / pool - the winner in each of 4 categories will get a RAOK envie. The categories are

1.) Number of Qs used
2.) BC total
3.) AC total
4.) Total $$ in GCs

Here is my prediction:
380 Qs used, BC $1865, AC $90 with $500 in gift cards

Post your entries folks Thumbup

Quote from Devilmomma :
What's that?
OMG that reminds me of a story that my mil told me about her niece. She had warned me before I met her that she had the messiest and dirtiest house ever and one of her stories was how she and her sil (which is this girl's mil) went over to help clean up the house. The girl one day said she couldn't control it any more and needed help so off they went b/c these are two neat freaks. I'm talking show houses here.

So they start the laundry, dishes, dusting, picking up and are ready to mop and vacuum. They ask where the vacuum is at and the girl gets it and says that it doesn't work that well and it is time for a new one. So she plugs it in and dust comes flying out everywhere. They unzip to get to the bag and can't get the zipper down b/c the bag is so full. They tell the girl that the bag is full and needs to be changed.

Get this! She says "What bag?"

She had never, never ever changed a bag or even knew they existed. She would vacuum for about a year and then when it started smoking, would throw it out with the garbage!!!!

So they went to the store and showed her where the bags were and took her home for a lesson.

Then......she calls her mother on the phone and screams all excited, "You won't believe what I just found out! There's bags in those vacuums!!" And she continues the story and tells her mom b/c this is what her mom did all her life growing up!!! Vacuum and throw away!!!

Seriously! A true story!!!

I met her. I saw her house. It's totally real! She may now know about the bags but they don't get used much.

Just got your Sobe labels today. I will send those back to you if you want to do your own MIR on the labels. See my siggy of new Sobe promo, now in FL. Thanks for sending me those. hug

I got overages on a few items, plus $2 catalinas from the Glade deal. This was my test run so I wasn't a Insane woman with my outrageous Qs. YET! Big Grin


There are so many potentials... Scratchhead There is a spreadsheet of items in the Kmart thread (very useful tool.) I had a printout with me at the store.

.
.
.

That spreadsheet is very useful indeed! I used it to get ideas of things to buy and help me find the coupons from the inserts that I needed.

I saw tons of people in my K-mart today that all had the same $1 Target coupon holder that I have (some were blue, purple and green). Also very early in the day when the store opened I saw people with notebooks with the baseball card sheets. This was interesting for me to see, as this was a first. Wow wonder if they were Sders? They were friendly and I talked to them about the various sales and what a good deal we were getting. I also just said I saw the baseball sheet idea on the Internet and didn't bring up SD. One lady said that oh yes how easily organized she was now with her coupons.

I have never seen so many people use coupons in my whole life, as I saw people doing this morning. People with a lot of stuff, many much more than me! It was so wild to see people like me with a big pile of coupons when usually I am the only one, or maybe one or two other at most at the register when I am checking out. This morning it was everyone and I am 100% positive there were some SDers there. Wow I never see anyone at K-mart and it was weird seeing them so busy, and so many people getting the same deals as me. Later in the day when I went to other K-marts, there were less people using coupons again, but still a lot more than normal.

In 4 runs for me and 1 runs for DH we got our stuff for about $550 - $600 before coupons (no GC's just products and clothes) and about $31 after coupons with return of $55 in RR. I used only $8 of RR's so far, so I have $47 left. Thanks Tinker for letting me know that the RR's will double fully on more expensive items. I used four of my $2 RR's to get some really nice shirts that were already on sale for 25% off. It was nice to get $4 off each shirt on top of the sale since the RR's double.

I need to go though coupons some more, but I am so tired! Must get ready for some different product deals tomorrow, as the possibilities are so many! Edge shaving cream is .39 after double MQ coupon found on sheet at the service desk (value $1 for total $2 off). My husband got four of the shaving creams.

Someone recently blessed us by paying for someone to clean our house every two weeks. I cannot even express how much a load that takes off me. It couldn't come at a better time with a new pregnancy, homeschooling and 4 little ones.

The lady came today and now I want the kids to stay out of the house, too bad it wont stay this wayFrown I'll clue him in Ariel, I don't think there could be a better gift!

OHH that sounds dreamy Cloud9
