Double Coupon Success at Walmart - Results
As I reported in my Wednesday Blog Post - Walmart, in accordance with its price matching policy, decided to double coupons this weekend, (matching Kmart's Double Coupon event.) The details of the doubling procedure are that Walmart will double ANY manufacturer coupon, to the maximum value of 99 cents.
Examples:
French's Mustard $1.08Manufacturer Coupon $ .35 - doubled to $.70
Pay $.38
or
One Gallon Milk $2.14
Manufacturer Coupon $.75 - doubled to $.99
Pay $1.15
I went through my coupon binder, grabbed the coupons I thought I could use (mostly $.50 and under) and this is what I came up with:
Highlights: Carefree pantyliners, after double $.50 coupon = FREE; Suave Deodant after double $.75 coupon to $.99, $.02 OVERAGE, Curad bandaids, after double $.50 coupon, $.03 OVERAGE, Gain dish detergent, after double $.50 coupon, $.03 OVERAGE.
Fun highlight: Handing over four Suave coupons to a woman who came by as I was looking at the deodorant, and explaining to her how she can double the coupon to get four free deodorants. She was so excited!
*Curad Bandaid Disclaimer - Yes, yes, yes, there are ten boxes. Normally I wouldn't buy ten boxes BUT Walmart was very stocked in Curad, the coupon was for any size or design and there were lots of opportunities for people to use this coupon. Lastly, I am donating five boxes to my daughter's middle school - budget cuts make the schools very grateful for donations like this.
Result
Total: $126.65Coupons Doubled: $73.29
Total OOP: $53.36
*My total OOP included a few things I paid full price for, including dog food ($1.50), two jars of Smuckers ($2.18 each), chicken ($10.86), Vicks Vapor Rub ($4), steak on sale ($5) and a bottle of wine for me and my hub ($6).
In the spirit of reporting accurately, I'm including these in my total OOP, so please take that into consideration when you look at my totals. If you discount the stuff I paid full price for from my total OOP, it makes my savings even more AWESOME.
It is so much fun when the list of coupons used is longer than the list of charges!
So what are you waiting for? Go through your binder and get down to Walmart (or Kmart.) Today is the last day you can double coupons. Let me know how you do!

Walmart is Doubling Coupons Through August 27! (Thanks Kmart!) - UPDATED
Did you know that Kmart is doubling manufacturer coupons through August 27? You must be a Shop Your Way Rewards Member to take advantage, but never fear, you can sign up for the membership in store, and it only takes about two minutes.
They will double manufacturer coupons up to .99 cents. Kmart specifies that the amount of discount will not exceed the price of the item, and they do not pay overages.
But wait, there's more....
Walmart is price matching Kmart in my area, and I've confirmed tonight via telphone with my Walmart, that they are also doubling coupons during Kmart's doubler event. SCORE! *UPDATE: I've been told by other people that you do not need a Kmart ad to price match the doubling event, and I've also been told that you do not need the rewards card to double at Walmart, but I'm taking an ad and my card anyways. You just never know what a cashier will require. Remember to follow the same rules at Walmart that you would follow at Kmart.
*UPDATE: Both stores will double coupons to the maximum value of 99 cents. This means, a 50 cent coupon, as well as a 75 cent coupon will give you a 99 cent discount on your item (the doubling WILL NOT exceed 99 cents.) If you choose to double at Walmart instead of Kmart, make sure you aren't trying to double a coupon for product that you know Kmart won't carry, Walmart checkers may call you on it. The CSM at my Walmart told me that any type of prepackaged grocery item should be fine.
Walmart will usually pay overages if the coupon exceeds the price of an item, but their policy has been known to change, so I'm not sure how that will work out for me, but it's ok, I'm still heading down there to see what I can pick up! Coupon Tip: ALWAYS BE VERSATILE!
Make sure you call your store in advance to see if they are participating before you head on down. Good luck!

Four Coupons I May Double This Weekend at Albertson's + Hamburger Helper Coupon! HOT!!
Cheerios are included in the General Mills Promotion this week, with doublers, that would make three boxes of Cheerios only $1.32 each (must be a part of the ten item promo) and you would get a $5 catalina back!
Excellent coupon to double with $7 in catalinas popping out!
Scenario:
Buy 10 boxes of Hamburger Helper ($10/10 at Albertson's this week)
Use two $.80 coupons and two Albertson's TTV coupons (doublers)
Pay: $6.80
Receive back $7 in catalinas! (not sure how long this is going to last but I posted about it here)
$.20 MONEYMAKER
I found these coupons here using zip codes 44328 and 11411.
How I Turned $15.10 into $126.70 at Albertson's - You Can Do it Too!
Yesterday I wrote about my excitement for the catalina promos offered at Albertson's this week. After some internet investigating, I found out that if you bought Hamburger Helper (10 boxes for $10), instead of receiving $5 in catalinas, the little magical machine was spitting out $7 in catalinas! I decided to test this out myself.
I picked three items off their General Mills Promo that I knew I wouldn't use doubler coupons for (doubles (TTV) should be here Sunday,) and headed to the store. This is what I came up with:
Transaction 1:
10 Boxes of Hamburger Helper (10/$10)
Used 3 $.75/3 coupons
Total spent $7.75
Received $7.00 in catalinas!
Transaction 2:
10 cans of Progresso Soup (10/$10)
Used two $1/4 coupons
Rolled my $7.00 catalina from Transaction 1
Total spent $1.00
Received $5.00 in catalinas!
Transaction 3:
10 Boxes of Hamburger Helper (10/$10)
Used 3 $.75/3 coupons
Rolled my $5 catalina Transaction 2
Total spent $2.75
Received $7.00 in catalinas!
Transaction 4:
10 Boxes of Totino's Pizza Rolls (10/$10)
Used 5 $.40/2 coupons
Rolled my $7 catalina from Transaction 3
Total spent $1.00
Transaction 5:
8 cans of Progresso Soup (8/$8)
2 boxes of Totino's Pizza Rolls (2/$2)
Used 2 $1/4 coupons for Progresso Soup
Used 1 $.40/2 coupon for Totino's Pizza Rolls
Rolled my $5 catalina from Transaction 4
Total Spent $2.60
Total Before Preferred Member Discounts, Coupons and Catalinas: $126.70
My Total Out of Pocket: $15.10!! (plus one more $5.00 catalina to roll on Sunday!)
Keep in mind, you can only take three transactions through the Albertson's line at one time. Just separate your merchandise with the little divider bars, and pay for each one separately. Albertson's policy states you have to take your merchandise out of the store before you return to do another transaction. This may seem complicated, but it's rather easy. I was in the store a total of maybe 20 minutes, and came out with this:

This sale goes through next Tuesday (August 16.) There are multiple items being offered with catalinas. If you don't have a sales circular, you can stop in your local Albertson's. They should have them right inside the front door on display. I've also read that we should be getting TTV (doubler) coupons this weekend as well! Let me know how you do!
Need Coupons? I have seen coupons for many of the items offered in this week's sale here, experiment with zip codes and see what pops up. You can print two of each coupon right off your own printer!
(look for Hamburger Helper, Totino's, Cheerios or other General Mills cereals, Macaroni Grill, Totino's Party Pizza, etc.)

Awesome Week with Albertson's Catalinas and Doubler Rumor Alert!!
The Albertson's weekly circular came out today and I have to say, the catalina offers look very generous! For those of you who don't know what a catalina is, it is a reward given to you when you purchase the required number of items in a promotion, (i.e. Buy $12 worth of Nestle products, receive a catalina for $4 to use on your next purchase.) There is a little machine that sits at the cash register that spits them out as the checker rings up your items, if you have met the criteria for getting one (a catalina) with your purchases. I love getting multiple catalinas when I'm checking out. I like to refer to the catalina machine as "my little personal slot machine!" (I'm weird like that lol.)
The nifty thing about a catalina is that you separate your transactions, and use the catalina from the first transaction to help pay for your second transaction. I have seen some Albertson's checkers take the catalina right out of the machine and scan it on your first transaction, giving you the savings on your first trip, as well.
Example:
Purchase 4 Dreyer’s Ice Cream 1.5 qt. $3.00 each
Use (2) $1/2 Dreyer’s Products Coupons found in 6/12/2011Smart Source
Out of Pocket = $10 (not including tax)
Receive $4 catalina
Final Price: $1.50 each after coupons and catalina
Not a bad deal, right? Here's where it gets even more interesting..I've read rumors that we will have Albertson's TTV (doublers) this weekend. That would make the above deal, even better:
Purchase 4 Dreyer’s Ice Cream 1.5 qt. $3.00 each
Use (2) $1/2 Dreyer’s Products Coupons and 2 TTV coupons
Out of Pocket = $8 (not including tax)
Receive $4 catalina
Final Price: $1.00 each after coupons and catalina
There are multiple catalina deals this week that you might want to take advantage of. I'm going to send you over to Fabulessly Frugal for Albertson's Matchups, until I grow into my blogging britches and can do them myself! Don't forget, the prices on their matchups don't account for the Albertson's Doublers *yet*
