All those weeks of doing MM at kmart have made me super picky about what I want to spend for OOP, and I had to use all my previous cats and GC already during the crappy week of sales.

Luckily for me I have $18.xx in GCs to minimize my oop... I also have 4 or so $10 P&G rebate GCs to use...!! but I hear what your saying...!!! I won't really start planning until Monday or Tuesday to see what others come up with... And to see what if any mishaps will occur...!!! With KM any and everything is possible ... I like my trips to go as smooth as possible...!!

[muffythebear]

absolutely! I tell you the guys and gals on here are so stinking smart! I can figure out basic stuff, but how they put together some transactions are just amazing!!!
Lucky you have those ! all my GC expired on the 23rd. I could have saved a dove CRT, but I was rolling it, and on the 22nd, just decided to use the last one so I wouldn't have to worry about losing it. ( or driving back to kmart for a while, since it is 20 miles of gas to drive from my place to the nearest store!)

Your GCs expired... I thought there was no expiration date on GCs... The CRTs I know expired then...!!! I know the GCs have beginning dates but not ex. Dates... I could be wrong tho...!!

yep, some areas got "award" cards with no exp dates, but all the stores in my area the cards had to be spent between the 18th and the 23rd.

I didn't know at the time that, I could have used the "award" cards to buy a gift card which wouldn't have had an exp date, but you live and learn !

I thought the $5/40 states excluding any bogo event. If so, $40 will have to be non-bogo or bogo 1/2 stuff.

I am only using 4 coupons, those are the 1/1 cover girl and only those 4 will double. ( 4x2 = 8)
the other 2 coupons i would use will be the pantene 3/2 and those will not double.

HTH!

the papers I picked up in store say that it excludes ANY BOGO. So unless it is reported that people CAN use them with BOGO items, I am not bothering to get to the 40 or 50 mark to reduce the OOP.

[CRStrom]

Oops! I had forgotten the $5 coupon had the BOGO stipulation. We can still figure this out.

[BeausMomma]

Got a couple scenerios I'm working on, a little high oop but I figure with the CRT back than it will be worth it if next week is as good as this week.

Scenerio 1
6 Head & Shoulders 29.94
3 B1G1 -14.97
2 cover Girl 4.94
2 1/1 doubled -4.00
12 Pk drink 2.50
free -2.50
Total 15.91 oop than get the CRT back

Scenerio 2
4 Olay wash 20.38
2 3/2 -14.38
4 Febreeze set/refresh 2/5 =10
4 1/1 doubled -8
12 pk drink 2.50
free -2.50
Total 16.38 oop, but than the CRT back

Need to check some prices on a few other things that I need to really stock up on and that could change my scenerios. But I figure these are items I need so can get em cheap why not

You could take off one of the Covergirls and save the coupon since it isn't needed to get to $30 and would save about .47.UHH never mind I was thinking you had 2 clearance CG. I have enough Covergirl to keep a group of clowns good for 6 months.....

LOL I have so much of it also, but alot of GF's with teenage daughters, so its great to pass along to them. I think the last P&G sale at Kmart I wiped them out of the eyeshadow. Hope they have restocked since their wasn't much in a couple weeks ago, if not than I will have to replan. Doing some checking today on it.

[JennaGuzman]

Anyone plan out their scenarios this week yet? I really want to take advantage of the meal deal and the p and g $10 CRT but haven't come up with any good scenarios ...

[muffythebear]

I am wondering that too! my problem is keeping OOP under 10 after coupons and discounts... I would like to get a ton of crts for next week but without cats to lower oop it has been tricky!

so far I have come up with 1, yes 1 scenario that puts my oop under 10.... so it has been tricky!

[clh2209]

There is a sticky where the deal scenarios are posted.

[bubbsguy]

The ZzzQuil is 4.99 with 3.00 in points back and also buy 3 or more Selected Always pads or liners or Tampax tampons. and get 5.00 back in points. Now if you could find some clearance Covergirl or 7.01 in P&G products you would get back the 10CRT and 8000 points. Oop might be high for the first one but muffybear you said you had 1 transaction that was under 10.00 oop and if you did that for the 2nd transaction you'd pay almost nothing by using the 8000 points. Just a thought if you want Always or Tampax. Oh and muffybear do share your transaction?

OMG - are you serious? We can buy a non-dated card with our dated ones? I'm still pretty new to Kmart and am used to other reward programs - like CVS where you can't use ECB to purchase gift cards.

If this is the case, I will be doing the happy dance. I wasted my previous GC's because they were going to expire. I would love to have just converted them all to a regular one.

[muffythebear]

This one doesn't use the zzz for points or the always/ tampax points
( I generally don't do stuff with points... but did do 2 transactions today and earned BOTH the zzz points and the always points BUT my oop was much higher as I was went to 50 of the GC and the 5 off 40 and 10 crt. I wouldn't have don't those transactions but I needed the pads anyway... )

OK this one works out to less than 10 OOP and you ONLY get the 10 CRT back, so it is a very small MM


4 cover girl eye shadow 3.29$ = 13.16 ( before coupons)
2 3.99$ olay wipes ( white package) =7.98
2 4.79$ pantene= 9.58
_____total
30.72
discounts
-8 ( 4 - 1/1 covergirl doubled )
-6 ( 3/2 olay wipes And 3/2 pantene)
bogo 50 CG 3.29
bogo 50 olay 1.98
bogo 50 pantene 2.39
total discount
21.66

---------------------oop 9.05 + tax

you get 10 CRT back to use next week.

[muffythebear]

Just wanted to let you guys know my local kmart has the "ivory" brand body wash ( huge bottles FWIW)
they are ON sale 2/7 ( 3.50 each)

They are a P& G product and there is a 1/1 coupon in todays P& G insert for them off
doubled that is 1.50 for a lot of body wash!

( i picked up 7 of them today LOL)
use them in your scenarios as needed!

That is what I was told... I wish I had known it too before I used mine up!

That looks great. I can't use Pantene but I can sell 2 Pantene for 3.00. I started doing things like that to extend to non-couponers great deals while it also keeps my oop lower to get more for my $$$. I can sometimes add a Tide and still break even after selling a few items. I also started doing this to recoup my cost for papers. 1.00 per paper for just P&G's and 2.00 for papers that have the good SS& RP. So this week I have to pay 1.00 for each P&G insert which is costly since most weeks I can pay 2.00 and get all 3 of them thus having more coupons to save more.

[CRStrom]

Here too. I blew threw $60 worth because they were expiring. I found out AFTER I spent them all that I could have bought a regular gc. Now we know.

[Tanith1365]

I have a question... I did 5 different transaction.. All over $50.. But only received 1 $5 rewards gc... I went to cs cause I wanted to know why I even got the 1... Didn't know anything about it... They said it was cause I went $50 or over, I told them each transaction was identical then I should have gotten 5... Not 1 on the last transaction... They said it was because the cashier hit total BEFORE the coupons...? Does this make sense to anyone? Should I have gotten 5 or zero?

[CRStrom]

You should have gotten 5 and you should go back and make them give you your $20.

The cashier MUST scan your card first and then NOT hit total until you hit $50. If either of these are wrong, you won't get your $5 card.

They won't give it to me... She called someone over the little walkie talkie thingie... And he said I shouldn't have even gotten the one I got... The cs at the front end pushed it to me and said just take it, like she was doing me a favor... Should I call corporate or something?
