Kmart Doubles - YMMV

Ok, so like most of us die-hard semi-psychotic couponers I had heard the buzz that Kmart would be doubling coupons the week of June 7th. There were some posting that "yes" most stores would double, however the ads were not showing doubles. I decided to directly email Kmart coorporate to find out for myself. This is the email I sent:

Original Message Follows: ------------------------

I am trying to find out if my local Kmart is going to be a part of the double coupon event starting this Sunday June 7th. I have heard that most Kmart's will be involved but my local store's ad does not have any information about it. Could you please clarify which Kmart's in Colorado will be having double coupons, I am specifically interested in the Kmart in Glenwood Springs, CO 81601. Thank you for your time.

Here is the response I recived:

Thank you for contacting Kmart regarding the Kmart Double Coupon Event. We appreciate your interest in this promotion. This event is for select participating Kmart locations from 6/7 - 6/13. All Kmart store located in Colorado will be participating in this event. We invite you to visit any of the participating stores.

Sincerely,

So since the email said all Colorado stores were doubling I planned ahead with my coupons and printed both emails to take to my Kmart with me today. When I went to check out the manager was unaware of the coupon event but after showing him the email he was nice and did his best to make the transaction right because the register wasn't automatically doubling. I made 2 trips, here is the 2nd trip: Paid $2.98 OOP

My Kmart's prices are higher than most but I'm pleased with the items I purchased. After buying 7 bags of Cat food, 6 bags of Cat Treats, rubber gloves and Oust the cashieer asked "Just how many cat's do you have?" HA! Actually I don't have any cats at all.
