Somelousyluck: You should DEFINITELY get in touch with your store's manager before going back. Personally I would not drive 20 miles to do Super Doubles but if you do at least make sure that your coupons are going to be accepted this time. The reason the cashiers gave for declining them is of course ridiculous and is the result of lack of training.
This past time, I emailed the manager

I drove about 20 miles or so to get to a super k. Went at 2:00 a.m so my couponing would not interfere with other customers.I had a Dimetap (was also black and white)coupon that the cashier called a manager to view because it didnt have a particular backround,I would have accepted it if it was refused due to looking different but he let me use it as well as a progresso (black and white) and

Thanks to all for sharing your feelings and frustrations about Kmart. I agree that we need to ask ourselves whether a certain bargain shop is worth the time and possible frustration -- and I think the longer one bargain shops, the better one gets at figuring out what will be worth it. This time around, I am glad I shopped Super Doubles, but I probably will not do it again unless there is another

2009-07-08T19:30:08.518-05:00

Yeah, I honestly don't know how Kmart stays open. Once a year or so I go there for whatever reason and I always end up regretting it. Prices are high, selection is terrible and even though there are like three cars in the parking lot, if I actually find an item I want there is one cash register open and 20 people in line. I end up abandoning almost every purchase I attempt to make.

CVS and target is the best place beside Giant eagle I do not shop at any other store. CVS has enough deals to last all year. With all stuff you can get for CVS you will have enough stuff for 5 families. I do not buy every item but I do have 50 extra bucks on average. I do shop at Kmart only once or twice a year for double. I ask myself this how mcuh stuff do we all really need?

2009-07-07T15:32:45.525-05:00

I refuse. I simply refuse to do it anymore. I went to get diapers for a church ministry, and wanted to do 2 transactions with 5 packs huggies overnights and one tub wipes each. I had the 5/50 coupon along with 5 $2 coupons, so by my calculations I should have spent about $26. Instead, the cashier applied one of my $2 coupons to the wipes, losing me $3.25, so I spent $29.XXX

Still,

2009-07-07T15:21:33.451-05:00

I do this at every store. I figture out my total before coupons and after coupons and even tax. So if the price wrong than I have them start over. This solves all the trouble of ever over paying.

2009-07-06T23:16:11.687-05:00

definitely go back! I've had so many catilina issues... it's terribly annoying and I stopped trying today even though I have enough coupons for a couple more. Sunday I did 2, should have gotten 2 $14 coupons, but the machine wasn't working. Had to leave my name and number and wait for them to come in the mail. (!) Today I went back, talked to another lady at customer service, who was

2009-07-06T23:01:06.280-05:00

Today I tried to do this transaction and I mean tried because I end up refusing the transaction:

2 bottles gillete body wash 4.59
(kmart has a $2Qtearpad for these)
4 softsoap essembles refills 3.50
(use 4 of the 2.00Q fromcvs magazine)
2 glade spray 1.79ea
(use 1/2Q)
my total was supposed to be about $3.60 with tax.
Cashier told me total was $8.40<

Oh my gosh, your posting just made me feel SO much better about my experience at the Forest Park KMart this evening! I thought for sure it was just me having problems, and said on the way out "THIS is why I don't shop at KMart"... nice to know I wasn't the only one with issues!

My problem was with the GM 4/$6 cereals. None of them were marked at shelf, and the ad

2009-07-06T21:17:14.098-05:00

I did two tranaction with Huggies goodnights and huggies little movers and got the cats. Often times the register at the service desk does not have a cat machine. In the past when a cat didn't print the service desk gave me a form to send to the catalina company. I had also had to do this with wags once. It took awhile but my cat came. Good Luck!

2009-07-06T10:42:33.080-05:00

I'm with Melissa. I've only done this a few times cuz Kmart is HORRIBLE, but I also try to find the youngest, most clueless cashier and watch like a hawk. It just ends up taking a ridiculous amount of time AND the Kmarts in my area (NWI) just wont do it anymore because of the hassle. :(

2009-07-06T07:25:27.601-05:00

i haven't done k-mart doubles in a long time because of what you said. I try to get the most clueless looking cashier and then I stand as close the the register screen as I can and point out which product the coupon goes to because I had a ton of errors like yours when they first started double coupons. I did go back and explained every error and on one transaction I got back $17!! not bad

2009-07-05T23:32:56.062-05:00

The cat worked fine for me for huggies dipes. Last time we had doubles I had the same problem and ended up returning everything. This time I read that the problem stems from using the service desk cash register. Don't know why that would be a problem, but today when I did it at a normal cash register it worked fine. Perhaps you should call the Catalina company instead of Kmart. Kmart told me

2009-07-05T22:13:17.182-05:00

Really? I don't know, the sign made it look like it was for all Huggies brands, and a lot of tape spit out of the machine with no ink as soon as the Huggies products were scanned. I will be really disappointed if this is the case; I will report back tomorrow.

2009-07-05T21:37:46.483-05:00

the cat didnt print for you because its not for huggies diapers!
Its for pullups, or goodnights!
I had the same problem!!
