These are headed for the animal shelter tomorrow. I bought coupons on eBay thinking I could stock up for my own dog, but I didn't realize that the best-if-used-by date would be so close! I'm sure the shelter will use them by April. I kept enough - but not too many - for my own dog.

Nice job!
How do you know when KMart or any store is doubling coupons? I use coupons but I never get anything for FREE! I just found your blog this week - thanks for sharing all your tips!
my kmart told me there is a 10 coupon maximum per visit, i guess that would prevent me from reaching the $50 to get $5.00 off : (
Can't the women's shelter that you mentioned earlier use them?
Prudent Homemaker - I thought about that. However it seems that most of the ladies who end up there are younger and may not be in need of these quite yet. I think I'll check with them to be sure. Thanks for the reminder!
Anonymous #1 - If you want to know if your local store is participating, you can either call customer service at 1-866-562-7848 or email them at help@customerservice.kmart.com. The sale is through Saturday, so it might be worth your while.
Anonymous #2 - Usually the 10 coupon limit means that they'll only double 10. You can still use other coupons. They just won't double. (Although the registers are programmed to accept however many you give them.) So you could use the $5 off $50, double your 10 best coupons, and then use other coupons to fill in the difference. I guess this varies from store to store. Fortunately, you can still get some great deals even without the $5 off coupon!
thank you jennifer for clarification : )

Hi! For the poise pads, you could try an alzheimer's agency if you have one in your area. I know the one in Alabama accepts donations of incontinence products because that is one of the services they provide to their clients. Or an agency that provides services and assistance to seniors.
Thanks for the tip about the Crest Kid's Toothpaste and the Dr. Pepper; I also got that coupon in the mail. I went yesterday, and pretty much did the same deals you did. I did get some different dog treats, using peelies I got off some packages I bought awhile ago. I also found the Tic Tac Chill, and Hershey Bliss bars. My before total was $89.27, and my after total was $6.15! I hope Kmart does doubles again before Christmas; It's one of the best ways to stockpile.
Gotta love a trip that makes you money! Great idea to donate Poise to the alzheimer's agency. I would also suggest a nursing home or assisted living center. I actually donated mine to our local food pantry, because I know that they serve a lot of elderly clients that could use them.
