Yard Sale Round-Up 10/30/08

I would like to offer you the opportunity to advertise your Yard Sale or Garage Sale for others to see - here for free!

Every  Thursday I will post the Yard Sale Round-Up.  Feel free to leave a comment telling us where your sale will be, what you will be selling, and the time  and days of the sale.  

These are the guidelines to follow:

Post your sale in the comments of this post.

Please post Yard/garage sales for the upcoming weekend only.

Start your comment with the general location of the sale.  (ex. Yard Sale - South side)

Post the location, dates and times.

You may leave a link to your website or blog if there is more information to your sale.

I welcome postings for Community Sales, School Sales, Church Sales and such!

Kmart Double Coupons up to $2.00 and more!

 is offering double coupons up to $2.00 this week at many of their locations.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on some items for free or a low price!  

You can only use 1 coupon per item, only 4 identical coupons per order, and a max of 75 coupons per day.   To find out if your area is participating go here and enter your zip code.  I recommend calling your local store to confirm that they are participating before you shop!

I have gotten some great deals at this sale.  The first time I went I got over $90 of merchandise for around $3.   Tonight when I went my local Super Kmart Store (on East Washington Street, Indianapolis) also had several racks of summer clearance merchandise for .99.  I was able to pick up my son 5 pairs of shorts for next summer for less than $5.  That's better than Goodwill!  And these were nice new items! 

I suggest you go early in the week as many items in my local store were already selling out. Also note that you will not get any overages.  The register will only give up to the item's price. And you cannot use Internet printed coupons.

Make sure that you watch carefully as the cashier rings up your coupons because I have had a few coupons that did not ring up correctly.  For the most part, the cashiers have been friendly and were able to correct the coupons for me.

I have only had one cashier who was unhappy about all my coupons -  but I tried to sympathize with her  (really the Kmart cashiers aren't used to all these coupons and having to double them! and their register system doesn't make it easy for them)  and then I told her how that using coupons keeps me home with my 2 children.  By the end of my order, when I paid $3 for $90 in items,  she was chatting with me and wanted to learn how I did it!
