Kmart Doubles Part #2 - Saved 85%

I made it to K-mart for a second trip. I plan to make at least one more trip before doubling week is over. After all this is the last doubling event for 2009 so stock up! Here's how the shop went...

4 -Pepsi Products - $1 each

1 - Renuzit 2 pk - $1.89
1 - Scott Natural 4pk Toilet Paper $3.99

1 - Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel $3.50

2 - Cottonelle Flushable Wipes $2.49 each

2 - Hormel Completes $2.79 each

Total $23.94

(Used $3 off $20 Consumables printed on Kmart receipt last doubles)
(2 - $1/2 Pepsi's - Publix "Making Triathlon Cool" Flyer)
(1 - $.55 Renuzit 2 Pk 8/16 SS)

(1 - $1 Scott Natural 4pk or more 8/9 SS)

(1 - $2 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel from HERE)

(2 - $1 off Cottonelle, Tear Pad, in Kmart next to wipes)

(1 - B1G1 Hormel Completes, All You Aug. *Not subject to doubling)

Total $3.55

I don't know what possessed me to buy the Hormel Completes now instead of waiting for a B1G1 sale so I could get them both free. I think this is what happens when you go to the store hungry. I really wanted to get out of there for under $1 but sometimes you have to splurge!

About Me

Welcome! I hope you'll find some valuable information here on stretching your dollar both at the grocery store and at the drug store.

As for me, I'm a certified financial educator, certified by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. I teach a variety of classes throughout Florida covering such topics as improving your credit, saving for retirement, buying your first home, getting out of debt, saving on groceries and more. I began this website because I realized that many of my clients were spending a large percentage of their income on basic necessities like food and toiletries. If I could help them lower their costs they would have additional income to put towards their debt or put towards meeting their savings goals.

In addition to my responsibilities as an educator, I'm also a licensed Realtor in the state of Florida and a member of the National Realtors Association. I'm actively involved with various community organizations serving as a volunteer with Aid to Victims of Domestic Violence and serving on the family selection committee for Habitat for Humanity.

I'm a graduate of the University of Miami with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Communications and Political Science and a proud alumni of the Kappa Kappa Gamma organization. I reside in Florida with my fabulous husband and some very spoiled cats!

Thanks for stopping by!
