All in all I did very well, but I realized later that I could have done a little bit better. I also have a strongly worded letter to send Kmarts way. I signed up to receive emails from Kmart and in return I was supposed to receive a $5 off $50 printable coupon in my email. I got my email very quickly and saw the coupon link in it, but I didn't open the link until right before I left the house to go to Kmart. Guess what? The email said the coupon didn't expire until 9/05/09, but the pdf that opened said it expired on 8/29/09!!!! I was really counting on that extra $5 off to help bring my overall total down. Then I was so frustrated running around trying to find the items on my list that I did my first 2 transactions in the wrong order! I meant to do the larger tranny first in order to get the $5 catalina to use on the next tranny. Oh well! I can always use my other $5/$50 from the Kmart ad at Publix since they accept competitors Qs. I also thought my $2 off wyb 1 Chips Ahoy and 1 Caprisuns should have doubled somehow and made both of these items free...

**I emailed Kmart on monday and received a very quick response from corporate customer service. They emailed me a valid $5/$50 coupon and confirmed that my coupons for $2 off chips ahoy and caprisuns should have made both items free. So I went back for my adjustments, and Edwina at the customer service desk was a pleasure to work with!
After my adjustments I spent $40.97 but saved $75.37 - a lot of that was tax!
