There's a Kmart I go to because of it's Slot Department. Translation....it has a gaming department. I have hit some good 7 spots there playing keno. But getting back to the actual store.....their cat food is frequently marked down to 20 cans for $10 and so I'll stock up when I see that. Also, I purchased one day kitchen oven mitts. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Gee, mine only has a scratch card machine. I'm so jealous.

adelle....it is fun. Smoke free and good banter with the other players. Met a lot of nice people and you should see some of the fancy cars in the parking lot who come in just to gamble.....Jags, Mercedes and everyone is laid back.

Unfortunately, my state doesn't cotton to such goings on. That's one thing I love about London, betting shops with slot machines on every corner.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Re: Does anyone still shop at K Mart?

I never liked KMart in the first place. It seemed like the stores were always dimly lit, probably in an effort to hide the dirty floors. I used to go in there once every couple of years because it was the only place nearby that carried the bags I needed for my vacuum. Once that got replaced, no need to go there any more. I like Target, though.

Re: Does anyone still shop at K Mart?

I was just there today - maybe the first time in 5 years?

I found exactly what I was looking for - an inexpensive rolling carryon size piece of luggage. I don't intend to use it often to carry onto a plane - more for short car trips and in a few weeks to carry onto the Auto-train.

KMart was just fine; spent 19.99+tax. Cheapest acceptable piece I'd seen elsewhere was in the $50 range. I'm pretty sure I had this same case some years back and I did carry it all over the world as my carryon. I gave it to a friend a few years back and it's still rolling. As I remember, it was about the same price about 10 years ago!

Didn't check out any other departments today, but overall my impression at this KMart was that it was clean, well-lighted, and running well. Lots of cars in its parking lot.

The Kmart near me has been open on Thanksgiving forever.

Their Route 66 clothing line for men is quite nice, as is the Adam Levine stuff

I haven't bought anything there in while but when my kids were little it was the go to place for me, (I don't go to Target either.)

I bought some cotton towels there a few months ago. They were on sale, and I really like them. While I was there, I started to shop for other items, but I got sticker shock. So many things can be purchased elsewhere for lesser prices.

I love K-Mart. Unfortunately, we only had one K-Mart still open--then its roof fell in during a storm.

No plans to re-open (I'm unhappy).

Re: Does anyone still shop at K Mart?

I guess I am one of the lucky ones in regards to K Mart store. Our K Mart has the best store around here. There is not one thing that we go into our local K Mart and not find what we went for. I can honestly say the most beautiful Christmas decorations are always found in our store. Our store is well lighted and the people who work there are all nice and help full. Really I cannot find one thing to say bad about our K Mart and I hope it never closes.

I haven't set foot in Sears since 2002 & I haven't set foot in a K-Mart for several years. I stopped going when they stopped doing double coupons, then reinstated them, & put a limit on them.

Re: Does anyone still shop at K Mart?

You just reminded me to stop at a K-Mart. I purchased (years ago) some Jaclyn Smith blouses as they were very nice. I may go back and look around now that I'm reminded.
