Sweet Kmart Weekend!

I stopped into Kmart Saturday afternoon to take advantage of some last minute doubles! In addition to getting almost everything for free, I scored a free prize. Up on the screen a message appeared and said "customer has won a Kching Surprise! I wonder what it might be... Could it be a free pack of gum, a free bottle of water, a free candy...hmmm... the suspence was killing me. When done paying the cashier my reward printed out and she sutdied it like I had won the grand prize! At this point I am ready to pee my pants!

What I won was $50 dollars off a $50 dollar purchase. I was thrilled. What made this deal even sweeter was the fact that a few weeks back when they had that buy a $50 dollar gift card get a $10 bonus card. I bought 2 $50 cards got 2 $10 bonuses. Then I used one of the cards on a big purchase that got me $14 in catalina cash and now I got a $50 bonus for spending almost nothing. So I spent $100 on the gift cards and got 20+14+50= $84 in free money. In addition I used the other $50 gift card and the two $10 to purchase several toys on clearance and grouped them into 20 dollar purchases so I could use the 5/20 toy coupon! I estimate I have purchased $600 in purchases for my orginal $100 investment!

I used the $50 bonus for a splurge item, I bought a lil quad for my boy! The quad was priced at 79.99 not on sale. But if it goes on sale in the next thirty I will be doing a price adjustment.

I just wanted to let everybody know that the Kching rewards really does pay off!
