does anyone else have this problem? I go Sunday pm to get (for example) Sally Hansen nail polish deal and they are all sold out! Frustrating!!
Hey Denise,
If you live in an area where there are a lot of serious couponers, then yes, sometimes you will notice that deals are out of stock almost immediately. This may also be because management is not ordering enough stock of the sale items prior to the sales. That is why not cleaning out the shelves of all the good deals is common courtesy for your fellow shoppers. Take only what you need, I always say! 🙂
Hey, just wanted to let you know about Kmart Super Double Coupons…

Thanks Alyssa….I shall share if/when I find stuff LOL
Also had a question about Walgreens …today I went and had 2 $1 off Therma Care wraps…..only got 1 RR $2.49 back….should I have rung them up separatly to get both RR? I’m learning and trying hard not to be overwhelmed by this extreme couponing. Thanks so much,
Denise
