Diapers.com/Soap.com

I have ordered from Diapers.com in the past and have always been VERY happy with my purchases. Now, I only order if the deals are REALLY good!! Since I have ordered before they sent me a $10 off my next purchase of $10 or more. So that is a really good deal!! I definately wanted to use that!
Diapers.com is paired with Soap.com and you can order from both sites at the same time.
They were also running a deal of free 2 day shipping with a $25 order.
Here is what I got....
*Borax Laundry Booster-$4.49
*Bounty Basic paper towel (needed a filler to get to $25)-$1.25
*Diaper Gene Refill-$7.29 each
*Rayovac Batteries-$5.40

Total $25.72
Used $10.00 off
Total OOP $15.72

Basically, I paid for the Diaper Gene refills and received the rest for free!!

The only time I would recommend using these websites are if the deals are really good!!

Great week!!!

Kmart Double Coupons!

The thought of double coupons up to $2 is VERY exciting to me!!! But considering it was Kmart that was offering the special and I am a former K-Mart employee....I was a little hesitant. I know how they can be to deal with. But I tried anyway.
*Gillette Body Wash-Regular Price $4.59
Used $2.00 off any Gillette Q
Paid $0.59
*Head & Shoulders Shampoo (I had 2)-Sale 2/$11.00
Used two $1 off Qs
Paid $8.00
(Only 1 of the Qs doubled...I don't know why.)
*Pampers Underjams-Regular Price $9.99
(Although they had a sign in front of them for $8.99)
Used $1.50 off Q
(Did NOT double.)
Paid $8.49
*Pampers Diapers & Wipes-$9.99 & sale $2.50 for wipes
Used $2.00 off Q if you buy both.
(Did not double.)
Paid $10.49

Total Before coupons $40.38
Coupon Discount $10.00
Total OOP $30.38

Now looking in more detail at my receipt I'm becoming more annoyed!!
The cashier and manager that came over the help, so that the diaper coupons would not double.
Although, what did not double was the $1.50 off Underjams and one of the $1 off Head & Shoulders.
Also, I don't see where those were even taken off of my total at all. So basically, I handed over 2 coupons and did not save anything!!
So glad this was my only trip here for this sale!!!
The best part of the sale was the Gillette body was for $0.59!!

Trying to be positive, the best thing I can say about K-Mart is that they still do layaways.
Which comes in very handy at Christmas......
