K-Mart Doubles

It has been confirmed that K-mart will be hosting a doubles event starting 7/5. Since it starts on a Sunday I am to assume it will be at all K-marts. The crummy part is that they have changed their guidelines YET AGAIN!
I have included a letter from corporate specifying the new rules.

  1. what no BOGO! This is getting out of control. Yes, I understand they need to set some rules but set them and stick with it. The changing everytime is killing me.

  3. It seems like each time they run a doubles promo, they sit down with the auditor and figure out who got the best deals using coupons and why, then they make up a rule that eliminates THAT scenario for next time.

    Idiots. Either do doubles or don't. Pretty soon you'll need to stand in line on one foot at an odd-numbered register before 1 p.m. CST wearing the color of the day in order to get your stinkin' coupons doubled.
