Freebie Friday!

This week, Freebie Friday isn’t about getting free stuff in the mail; it’s about getting free stuff when you shop.  Last night, we had a work function for my husband and we decided to go to Kmart afterwards. I love shopping at Kmart. They have a rewards program with Sears called Shop Your Way Rewards. You basically earn points for every purchase that you can cash in for free merchandise. The really nice thing about the program is that they send coupons out ALL THE TIME for more points or money off, etc.  At one point they even had gas rewards at BP!  Like I said, I love this store!

We bought a dishwasher at Sears a few weeks ago and the special was that you get $20 back in points. We got a great deal on our dishwasher and got more free stuff on top of that! So we cashed in our points last night, combined with our merchandise being on clearance and we did great! Not to mention we won’t need valentines for the next 2-3 years.

Pepsi’s were on sale 5 for $5. The valentines candy was 70% off. The cards were 90% and the Hickory Farms sets were 75% off. The food pouch organizer was only $2.99 on clearance. Oh, and did I mention that we still have $5 in points left over?!?

You can use your Shop Your Way Rewards card as both Kmart and Sears. You can find Kmart’s coupon policy here too.  Make sure you at least glance over it before making a purchase using coupons and always make sure your items ring up correctly.  I like it because they periodically have double coupons up to 99 cents, saving even more!  They also have a little grocery section, complete with refrigerated items, like milk, eggs and things like that.  They make it convenient to pick up everything you need.

Are you already a Shop Your Way Rewards member?  What are your thoughts about the program?  What good deals have you gotten?

Enjoy your weekend!
