First of all, they were OUT of everything! Second, they are so overpriced I was in sticker shock. Finally, they didn't double a handful of my coupons, so I overpaid. After discussing it with my husband, we decided not to return the items, but instead I will not do Kmart doubling anymore. I have had many bad experiences with Kmart so I feel that I have given them enough chances. Thankfully, my coupon friend did a great job, so I was thrilled for her! She also traded me some stockpile stuff! THANK YOU!!
************UPDATE 2/25/09******************
Kmart called me! The manager of the store talked to me. We tried to figure out why my recipet was off. We found it. It was missing 3 $1.00 coupons and one item was over priced by $1.00 (I bought 2 of that item, which would be $2.00 dollars) So that is where my $8.00 was that I couldn't account for.
Anyways, the manager was very nice. He admitted that they were out of everything because Sunday morning, they were hit so hard with coupon shoppers ( not really his fault) and many of the couponers were buying more then the 4 item limit). He said that he wishes Kmart had a better way to handle the coupons at the register.
Anyways, he is sending me a $10.00 gift card for my troubles!! YEAH!!! THANK YOU KMART!

We are so welled stocked right now, the nice thing is that even with my husband being out of work, we have so much food right now. We got our tax refunds back and were able to put the entire amount in our emergency fund. This will help us during the summer I am not working. I have one more shopping trip planned. That will happen on Wednesday, then I should be done for a long while!!!
Yesterday, I spent $35.94 OOP and today I spent $52.82. So in two days all these groceries cost $88.76. Not a bad weekend.
STAY FRUGAL EVERYONE!

So where on earth do you find coupons for Cook's ham steaks?
I had coupons for $2.00 off any ham purchase. The Ham steaks were the cheapest I could find. They ranged around $2.40 to $2.80 cents. So, after coupon they were 40 to 80 cents each.
I will take those along with the free veggies from before to make some very cheap dinners.
Oh, Sorry, I realized I didn't really answer your question! The coupons were from a packet of coupons. There was $2.00 off any ham, $1.00 off any eggs and $1.00 off any OJ. I got the coupons from there. Does that answer your question?
