I would like to address some of the common concerns and issues I have read thru the different threads. *Restocking/outs/shipments/orders - restocking happens 99% at night because the team can bring out pallets and work it quickly, the down side is we are not prepared for restocking at the level we are currently empty (obviously because we normally do not have this high of sell thru across the store). We will be adding additional people to the overnight team to help make this process smoother. It is also harder since we are 24hrs. - Outs are a terrible thing because we cannot restock those items. A store running out of an item is nothing new and any couponer has experienced this at some point. Some store may choose to not restock at all to slow down the blitz event. Staying in stock is very difficult because we never truly know what will be hot and what wont. This is where I will be enlisting everyone’s help to know what is hot to order, not only for the coupon shoppers but it is bad business to be 30-40% out of stock for half a week. - Shipments/orders come three times a week (at my store, every store has a different set up) and we get a large majority of what we order but sometimes if our warehouse is out (it feeds a large pool of stores where many are doing the same ordering) so tomorrow I will be working overnight to order and help restock. But the next truck is Monday and really my main focus is ordering to get the store back in order and ready for the next event. Another thing I discovered last night preparing for the next Super Double is my system does not allow me to mass order any items. Example Kids Crest with coupon is free I was only able to order 60 of them, I know that will not last me a full day let alone a week. I will be contacting my DC to see if I can order like 600 Kids Crest so I can hopefully last the entire week. Thanks for reading, feedback is always welcome. Anthony |

any item that has a coupon to make them cheap/free after doubles. off the top of my head now are: Dove haircare, cleaning items like Resolve, Greased lightning, Zout, air fresheners like Glade spray, etc. I don't know all coupon exp dates but what I'm sure is most couponers will BUY any item they have a coupon for that they can get dirt cheap/free after doubles. |

Do you know if there's a chance K-mart will change its policy on internet coupons?

can you read this thread and explain why the store doubled a $5/$50 coupon? http://www.afullcup.com/forums/k-mar...tml#post900431 TIA. |

The problem I experienced was that some coupons doubled while others buy 2/$1 off did not go through. My 2/75 cents only gave me 25 cents back it did not double. The cashier also had to do a lot of them by hand because the computer seemed not to want to double them and they where for the right product and $1 off of only one item. It was annoying. The products that where free adjusted if the price was lower than the total amount of the product. That was nice no hassles.

Hello Anthony and welcome! I appreciate your efforts to make your store a better place. I also am appreciative of the info you posted. I'm not in NC, but some of the items I shopped for but found were completely gone were: pert plus (on sale 3/9 last week, might not be hot this week-normal sized bottle) beggin strips treats for dogs (6oz. bags) glade scented oil candle holders (with and without candles) revlon tweezers (because of the $1/1 coupon in the Kmart beauty book) revlon emory boards (because of the $1/1 coupon in the Kmart beauty book) whiskas 12 pk pouches (on sale last week 2/8, might not be hot this week) healthful life cat food (16 oz bag--normal price 1.99 and in demand around here) glade carpet powder (huge demand here) gain dryer sheets (either 16 or 20 ct--can't recall) tums smoothies (12ct) tylenol rapid release (20 ct) advil PM (16 ct.) whisker lickins cat treats the goodlife recipe cat food dove body wash (because of $2/1 coupon in Kmart beauty book) plus what the other gals have said. I can't think of anything more offhand. I'm sure a lot more will chime in with their hard to find items. HTH! |

Anthony: There are some Sally Hansen coupons out there for $2 off off implements. That makes plenty of the LaCrosse/Sally Hansen items free. I am using these items to put together toiletry kits for local shelters for Christmas. Also, Ziploc vaccuum seal starter kits - I had $2 off these, and so they were free. And I got refills for near to free. I would be very happy to see these items in full stock - wish I lived near your store! Thx.

Do you have to have an ad to get the doubles if you store is on the list as participating? My newspaper never has Kmart ads.
