So odd. In my first transaction, I bought 2 Venus, 2 Cover Girl, and 2 Olay. No bonus $5 or $3 Cat. Second transaction, 2 Venus, 2 Cover Girl, and 1 Olay. No bonus. My aunt did very similar transactions with different items and didn't get the bonuses either. Could this be regional?

[server18]

So I am new to Kmart shopping. Haven't put foot in the door for a few years.
I understand having to reach $50. for the coupons to double but can I buy anything? For instance, I wouldn't be interested in the M&M's or the popcorn so can I buy cereal? or bread or ??

TIA

you only have to reach $25 and it is in certain departments. I heard basically the things you have to buy often ie. health and beauty, food, cleaners etc.

Is the Olay coupon the $1 off any Olay facial cleanser or moisturizer from the 6/3 PG? TIA

Did the coupon machine have paper in it?

Yes.

You know, I'm really starting to wonder about that now. I got stuff from the Cat machine later in the day, but it was a different register.

It was a new cashier and the both transactions were very frustrating. She hadn't been trained much at all, it seemed, and had trouble even figuring out how to do the coupons. We were standing there pointing out items for her to attach the coupons to as they popped up on her screen because she had no clue. The transactions weren't even that complicated. My aunt actually should have gotten a gift card with one of hers for spending $50 and the girl just ignored the prompt or something. We realized it as we were loading stuff into the car and had to go back in to customer service.

This really kind of sucks because now I feel like I got cheated out for $16...especially when they wouldn't let me use the $2 off Venus coupons with the bogo. Add that to my negative points and I'm really starting to wonder if the extra trip out of my way to Kmart is worth it.

I know. I really don't understand the $2 Venus not working. Its odd. Most didn't (including mine).

So frustrating. I know how you feel. But at least my Kmart is close by.
Sorry.

I know of one register at my Kmart where the catalina machine (or Cadillac machine as they call it) never works! I brought it to their attention, but nothing was ever done.

I'm not getting your math... Your after coupons should be $22.46. Did the bogos take off more than $7.99?

[posiespocketbook]

My kmart noticed that the b1b1 coupon for the lash blast is only up to $7.50 max. That is all they took off for mine not the full $7.99 that they ring up. I didn't see that one the coupon until they pointed it out to me.

[CRStrom]

The Olay and CG are bogo 1/2 off so that's an additional $6 off. I don't know where the other $1.57 came off at??

[Lmndrop1]

I read somewhere too that if you buy atleast .$20 worth of Covergirl you can apply for a $10 rebate? So something else small GC added plus free oreos and free SD and I'm there...thanks OP for your post

[bubbsguy]

The M&M's are in the ad on sale for the 2.50.

Nope, the cashier had to manually punch in the price. She took off $7.99 for each one I did use a $1/2 Glad Kmart coupon-forgot to post that. AND I didn't list the BOGO50% off the olay and Covergirl that comes off automatically. Not sure if i forgot anything else, but that was my total Total was even better today when rolling the $5 and $3 catalinas

Yes, went yesterday, but they are still $2.50 today . They have them in stacks by the cash registers with a sign saying $2.50.

[dmyers4607]

Can the bonus $5 & $3 cat be used right away or do they have start dates like the gc & the $10 p&g?

I used mine in a transaction right after I got them. They do need to apply to something though - luckily the oreo's and Sugar Daddy popped up and they were able to apply to them.

Thank you that is great!

[lvmyhubby2001]

Does anyone have the upc # for the sugar daddy? My store doesn't have them and after 20 minutes waiting they couldn't get me one. Manager told me to just bring in my receipt.I am a little leery about that. LOL
