I don't very often. I was the DD for some lady friends a while back and, since we're all married, they weren't ready to go home after a few drinks but didn't want to go anywhere they'd be embarrassed. Naturally, I took them to KMart. If you're going to be drunk in public, it might as well be in an establishment you don't mind being banned from for a few months. As it turns out, you can be 30+, drunk, and giggly and no one says anything at 9:00 at night. You can even ride a bicycle in the store and almost run into a sales associate, and no one raises an eyebrow.
That said... KMart is running double coupons next week, starting Sunday 4/4. You have to sign up for their rewards program, your store must be on the list of participating locations, and you can only double five per day... but they double up to $2 in face value. Grocery stores in the area will double up to $1.98 in face value during super doubles, but good luck finding any coupons between $1.50 and $1.98. $2 coupons are much easier to come by!
My recommendations:
1. Make sure you've registered for a rewards card. You can print a temporary one to use this week until your actual card arrives by mail.
2. Join A Full Cup and select 'Coupons' in the blue navigation bar at the top. In the 'Value' field, type "2.00/1" and hit 'Submit'. This will pull up a list of all current $2 coupons. You can also limit the search by printable, newspaper inserts, etc.
3. Prioritize your coupons, and hit the store as often as every day this week. Take your whole stack with you, because couponers have been known to clear the shelves when a good deal is found. It's a pain to show up with the coupon limit and not be able to buy anything on your list, so take your back-up coupons with you.
Good luck! ...and let me know what you find!

Kmart is such a depressing place, but it's so close to my house I end up stopping in now and then. They have a good hardware/tool section (which target doesn't), so I go for stuff like that if I'm in a hurry.
I shopped doubles yesterday. I wanted to make sure the Durham store was participating (they were on the list, but Kmart is just awful about everything, so I figure I should double-check.) It took 10 minutes--no one in the store had any clue whether they were participating or not. Finally someone called someone and verified that they are.
I got 2 free Soft Scrub Total sprayers, free All detergent and cheap Olay Quench (which I'll also submit a rebate on). I tried to get some Emergen-C for $4 off with my $2 off coupon, but the coupon scanned for $1. So I told the checker to void the Emergen-C because I only wanted it if it was $4 off. It took her about 10 minutes to figure out how to void it. Sigh. Kmart is so very sad ...
Still, I'm going to go back a couple more times with my high-value coupons ...
Second trip, some things weren't on sale but were pretty cheap after coupons: Febreze Air Effects for .99 after coupon (normally 2.99); Dentek Flossers for .99 a.c. (normally 2.99); Bic disposable razors, (on sale for $3.49), free a.c.; Pantene natural something-or-other conditioner .49 a.c. (normally $4.49); KY warming liquid for .29 a.c. (normally $4.29); and a 4-pack of Cadbury Creme Eggs for $1.39 (no coupon, that's the after easter 50% off price). I rang up at 20.58, paid 5.09 including tax.
