Super Doubles are coming back!


Hold onto your hats, folks... I've now had it confirmed by two different people in our area that Kmarts are preparing to launch a SUPER DOUBLES promotion Oct. 1 through Oct. 5. I am still unclear on whether it's all of our Kmart stores or only certain ones. But it seems definite that at least some of them will participate.

Let me explain for those of you who are fairly new to couponing... Super Doubles is a promotion that stores used to do a lot, where they will double the value of your coupons up to and including $1. In the Kmart case, I hear it's going to be up to and including $2.00, which is really incredible! So your $2 coupons will double to $4!

I don't shop at Kmart much, so I am beyond lost for a deals list, but the good folks on Hot Coupon World have begun to compile one here. The fine print included in the ad (found posted online by someone) includes the following:

"Amount of credit from doubling a coupon cannot exceed the retail price of an item. No cash or in-store purchase credit will be awarded for any amount exceeding the retail price of the item. Limit 1 coupon for each item purchased. Only 1 coupon will be doubled per item. You may only purchase 4 of the same item using double coupons. Coupons do not apply to sales tax. Limit 75 coupons per customer per day. Internet coupons or copies of manufacturer instant coupons are not valid."

More to come on this, I am sure...

I went to the store on Capital Blvd today & they are participating. I used Mfg coupons, internet print coupons and at least 1 catalina from Kroger (not sure if that counts as a competitor coupon or not). I haven't completely assessed it, but I believe I had $150 worth of stuff & paid $55, which included a $5 barbie outfit splurg for my daughter :)

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

The Kmart in Durham off of 15/501 is participating in Super Doubles. I went today on my lunch break to find many other individuals with stacks of coupons in hand so hurry over. But..... checking out at Customer Service was a nightmare! The clerks had no idea about the promotion which was incredibly frustrating. I had to TEACH them the super double rules again incredibly frustrating! Receipt was wrong, some coupons didn't double so I had to wait another 10 minutes for a refund. In the end I picked up $97.31 of items for $24.00 which included a lot of guilty pleasure Glade items. Sooo... I guess the hassle was worth it.

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

Does anyone know if the store in Cary is participating?

Re: Has anyone actually been to a store to verify if this is tru

Here's a first-person account about seeing the flier advertising the sale at the Garner store on Hot Coupon World... 

Has anyone actually been to a store to verify if this is true?

I was going to go a bit out of my way to the Super K in Garner if the information is correct.

The website doesnt have any information at all nor does the super k flyer.

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

I still do not know which stores are participating. Ugh. But the folks over on savvydollar.org report that the one in Garner and the one on Six Forks Road in Raleigh are participating and the one on Capital Blvd. in Raleigh is not. Now, that's just what they have said. I have not confirmed it. But they usually have pretty good info.

And on the doubling question from rachaelcyr, no... it would be nice it if worked that way. But if you have a $3 coupon it will be worth $3. Anything over $2 will not double at all.

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

I'm going out Wednesday, and headed that way - any new news on if this will be happening in the Raleigh stores??

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

Does anyone know what happens when a coupon is over $2.00? What happens if I use a $3.00 coupon? Will it double to $2.00 for a total of $5.00 all together? thx!

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

My thoughts exactly Magsmom!

Price Chopper (at least the Massachusettes stores) has coupons weekly where you can double up to $3 coupons. Glad to see we're getting some of those great deals down here as well.

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

Wow, that may actually convince me to set foot in a K-mart for the first time in years (not that I have anything against Kmart, I just never think to head there).

Frankly, superdoubles sounds like an even better deal than HT's triples, especially given HT's inflated prices.

Re: Super Doubles are coming back!

I miss the days when Kroger used have super doubles. Hasn't happened in years, but they used to double coupons up to a value of $2, so a .75Q became 1.50, a 1Q became $2, and a 1.50Q would become $2. It was a good way to use a lot of the higher value coupons.
