Well, as you all know it can never go quite as good twice in a row. I had received a 10000 point ($10)/$50 CRT last week that expired today so I had to go and test it out again. Unfortunately, it would not come off of my total so I was out $10 (argh!) and I have no clue what I did wrong. I also got an email this week that said I received 5000 points ($5) to use on my next purchase, this worked just fine and came off. This week you will also get a $5 Kmart Gift Card when you spend $50 on merchandise. I spent alot of time trying to figure out a decent scenario on “grocery” items this morning and didn’t come up with anything that I was comfortable with so I decided to just do the toys instead. I will put them up and save them for Christmas gifts.

Ok, so I am trying my hand at the Kmart thing. It is really taking me some reading, and reading, and more reading to understand all the ins and outs and I still left there thinking “What the heck just happened”. So, if you have any insight into Kmart please feel free to share in the comments because I need all of the education I can get. I felt like for my very first trip ever that I did pretty well. Unfortunately the Kmart receipt does not list the regular price so I am not exactly sure how I am going to figure up my total retail amount. Here is what I got….
