KMart Super Doubles

Particpating KMart locations are offering Super Doubles through Saturday. Some locations are participating even if they are not on the official list. Participating stores will double coupons with a face value of $2 or less. Yes, you read that right a $2 coupon will be doubled to $4! Each person is limited to 75 coupons per day with a maximum of 4 of each coupon. Unfortunately, KMart will not accept printable coupons.

If you play the drugstore games regularly you may not benefit from the sale as much, but there are several deals to be found if you decide to go to KMart. For those of you who don't play the games or don't have double coupons at your grocery store this could be a great opportunity for you. I must admit I am not usually a big fan of KMart, but I decided I didn't want to miss this.

Here are some of the items that I found that are FREE or possibly good deals after coupons.

Harry's/ Whole Foods $5/$25 Purchase Coupon! Possibly Use at Publix Too!

Whole Foods Market has a $5/$25 purchase coupon available. The coupon is valid October 15 - October 22 and can be used once per person per day. You can find the coupon and some of their money saving tips here.

I called my local Harry's which is owned by Whole Foods. Customer Service said Harry's is accepting these coupons as well. I wish I had waited to buy my groceries this week. Oh well, maybe next time.

For those of you who shop at Publix you can use these as a competitor's coupon at many locations. Since the offer is $25 before coupons you will be able to find some great deals this week! This is also a quick and easy way to take $5 off of your purchase if you don't usually use coupons.

Thanks to Common Sense with Money for sharing this coupon offer.

Publix Highlights for the Week of October 15

Please remember that my ad week begins on Wednesday; however, some areas begin on Thursday. Please check your local ad to verify your ad schedule. These sales and prices are in the Metro Atlanta area where manufacturer coupons with a face value of .50 or less are doubled and items that are on sale Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) you only have to buy one to get the item 50% off. Be sure to take full advantage of the sales by pairing them with competitor's coupons including $/$ purchase when applicable. I try to find the best deals to post here, but for a complete match up of this week's sale items with coupons from the newspaper inserts visit Coupon Mom starting on Thursday.

This is going to be a good week for deal seekers! Several of the deals are old favorites and some have been on sale recently, but there are still lots of goodies to be had.

Best of the Loss Leaders:

Lettuce .79 - Limit 4

Eggs $1.29/dozen - Limit 4

Pork Loin $2.19/lb - More expensive than Kroger this week, but a good price for Publix

Milk $3.39 - More expensive than Kroger. Aldi still beats both at $2.49 a gallon!

Best of the Sales with Competitor Coupons:
Each Publix location can decide who they consider competitors so be sure to check with your Customer Service Representative before shopping. Most Publix locations will allow a competitor coupon and a manufacturer coupon for each item unless coupon wording restricts it. Just a reminder that the FLIPs coupons are limited to one per person per day for each product. Target coupons do not have stated limits.

Lipton Tea
Target has issued a $1/1 printable coupon for ANY Lipton Tea Product.
Look for smaller sized packages of tea bags or products that are individual serving sized and they should be FREE or cheap.

Green Giant Carrots $1/1 Target Printable. I do not believe that Publix carries this brand at my store, but some locations may. If so this could help reduce your cost on a 1 lb. bag. (Note: Target has the 1 lb bags on sale for $.99 so they are FREE after coupon.)

Don't Miss These:

Kellogg's has several new $1/1 coupons including some for ANY 10 oz or larger boxes of cereal. These coupons are available at their website. The various coupons are on a rotating basis so you should refresh your screen until you find the coupons that you want. It has been reported that you can print up to 6 copies on one computer of the $1/1 ANY cereal coupon, but I can not verify this.

Kellogg's Cereals - Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops $4.29 BOGO
.15/1 after $1/1 Printable Coupon AND $1/1 FLIP OR
1.15/1 after $1/1 Printable Coupon OR $1/1 FLIP

Various Printables here and here (some are specific to Frosted Mini Wheats so don't waste your ANY coupons on these if you like other Kellogg's cereals)
There is also a Try Me FREE Rebate offer on the blueberry variety. You can find the form on the boxes or here if your box does not have a form. In areas where the second box rings up as 0.00 you will get an even better deal because you will be getting two boxes for FREE and profit after coupons!

Be sure to check out my other posts for other Publix deals including the new Yellow Advantage Buys Ad. Thanks for stopping by!

Publix Yellow Advantage Buys Advertisement October 11 - November 7

The Yellow Advantage Buys are additional sales that Publix runs in addition to the weekly ad. These sales run for four weeks. Typically these deals are not as good as the weekly sales, but there is usually at least one or two good deals to be found.

Fall Savings October 11 - November 7:

Sobe Life Water 20 oz. $1
FREE after .50/1 doubled (tearpad)
If you live in FL, GA, NC, SC, TN be sure to save the entire labels from your Sobe bottles for free Sobe items. For more details see the thread here. Post number 5 provides a phone number to obtain the form. I must admit I am disappointed that the promotion for the Southeast did not include the free movie tickets which some areas got.

The following is only a deal if you were planning to buy a deli or bakery item anyway. If you are paying more or buying something that you had not planned to buy then it isn't a deal.

8 Pack Selected Coca-Cola Products 12 oz. bottles
3/$10.00 - I know this is not a deal
$1.33/8 pack after $2 coupon for Deli or Bakery item
Equivalent to paying $1.99 for a 12 pack of 12 oz Cokes. - Which is a good deal.
Note: According to the Rules at MyCokeRewards these packages do not contain points.

Manufacturer's coupons:

There were an above average number of manufuacturer's coupons included in this edition. These coupons say Redeem at Publix because Publix wants to encourage you to use them at their store, but you should be able to use them at any store that accepts manufacturer's coupons. These coupons will not be listed in the Coupon Mom Database or most subscription coupon sales matching services so be sure to add them to your personal database.

$1/1 Gatorade Tiger 8 Pack
.55/2 Hunt's Diced Tomatoes 14.5-28 oz. (if your store doubles the .40/2 coupon (9/21 S) is better as it would be .80/2) Seeing this coupon makes me think that we will not be seeing the BOGO sale I was hoping for.
.55/2 Hunt's Tomato Sauce 15-29 oz.
$1.00/3 Hunt's Tomato Paste 6-12 oz.
$1/2 Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausages
.55/2 Silver Floss Krrrrisp Kraut
$1/1 Ball Park Beef Franks
.75/1 Super Pretzels

Publix Coupon and Rebate:

$1/1 Arm & Hammer Degreaser/Multi surface Cleaner 32 oz or Essentials Cleaner or Multi Refill 2.4 oz - Publix in ad coupon
Try Me Free Rebate for Essentials Cleaners can be found here.
$1/1 manufacturer's coupon can be found here if you are planning to buy it at another store or do not have the Publix coupon. My store will not let me use a Publix coupon and a Manufacturer's coupon together if the Publix coupon states that it may not be used in conjunction with any other coupon. It is my understanding that Publix is refunded by the manufacturer for Publix coupons that have that wording. Not all Publix coupons say that so be sure to check.

For more current Publix deals please check my other Publix posts here.
