Kmart has a $5 coupon of a $20 Toy purchase that Hip2save links to in her post about the deal to use the $5 coupons on Pictureka card games. While looking for a small toy to reach the $20, I discovered that all clearance toys/games are 50% off the clearance price! I picked up a $20 toy for $2.50 - they had playmobile, megablocks, and quite a selection of toys and games on clearance throughout the toy and game aisles. I'm going back with another 5 off 20 coupon and picking up some bargain gifts from the clearance selection.

P.S. Ditto what was said about allowing plenty of time - Kmart is the slowest store I've ever been too - makes me wonder how they've stayed in business!

Hi Laura: I got 146.00 worth for 25.00. I was thinking my total would be less but I got 3 of the new Purex, 6 boxes of Cakesters, 12 Pantene products, 6 Playtex Disposable gloves, 3 boxes of Slim Fast and a few other items. HOWEVER, I had to politely argue with the cashier over the free styling product you get when you buy the Pantene (The one in last Sunday's inserts). Finally I asked to talk to a MGR and they came over and agreed with me, the cashier couldn't wrap her mind around it since she kept saying I was getting the shampoo and conditioner for FREE so that wouldn't qualify me for the styler, she didn't understand that those 2 free items qualified me for the free styler, we went round and round for 5 minutes, but she was very polite about it thankfully. IN the end I only scored 2 more bottles of hairspray than she was going to give me originally but they had to re-ring the whole order 3 times because the computers weren't taking the coupons, I was there with 2 small kids for 2 HOURS! In the end, I realized that I wasted all that time for 2 more bottles of hair spray that I didn't even need but they were all free. Other than Slim Fast and detergent, I only shop the double coupons when I can stuff for free or under a quarter. Make sure you allow plenty of TIME when you go to Kmart, I've had to spent a lot of time there in the past, word to the wise!
