My Kmart Doubles Trip & Match-ups - saved 93%

I was so excited when I opened my Kmart ad and saw that the Kmart Doubles event this week was NOT for just P&G coupons (at least not in my area), but for ANY coupon up to $2.  Sadly, they were still limiting 5 coupons per customer, per day, and I still had to make a $25 purchase (prior to coupons), but we managed to still walk away with some awesome deals!  Chris and I each did a transaction:

• Transaction 1:

Colgate MaxWhite Toothpaste - $2.50
$1/1 Colgate coupon from the 2/27 SmartSource insert
$0.50 after double coupon

Dentek Floss Picks (90 ct) - $2
$1/1 Dentek coupon from the 1/16 SmartSource insert
Free after double coupon

$0.29 after double coupon

Ludens Cough Drops (30 ct) - $1.99
$1/2 coupon from the 12/12 SmartSource insert

(this was my error & the cash register did not pick it up - I didn't realize until doing the matchups that the coupon was supposed to be off of 2 and I only bought 1, but the coupon was still accepted and doubled)

Note: I try to save my "freebie" coupons for as long as I can - just in case they might come in use for an occasion like this!  As you can see, I used a few of them to help me get to the $25 minimum in the first transaction.
