 | | K-Mart Rant (Was: Re: K-Mart Sale) —Rick Clark
|
| | | So here's why I don't like KMart: I go in to my local K-Mart, hearing about the sale here on LUGNET (Thanks Milissa!) The LEGO aisle has a half dozen signs saying "As Advertised! All LEGO 20% off. Sale ends 12/12/01" I pick up what I need, go to the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | (...) My Non-Lego-Significant-Other refuses to go to the K-Mart near me -- she claims the place is just too disgusting for her to step foot inside of it. And actually it's true -- there is often foodstuffs, spit, vomit, what-have-you all over the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

|
| | | | | I agree. K-Marts are some of the trashiest stores. However, I have typically found a majority of my good deals here. I think that it is a combination of the fact that they are sloppy with shelving thier items and slack about tagging thier clearance (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | | | | (...) Interesting. We have a Kmart on Astor place in NYC & it is pretty nice. (but most things are marked up & most sales are non-applicable). But.... The K-mart I go to is in the Bronx, not in the best area of the Bronx either. But his place is (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | | | | (...) I'll have to agree on this too. I just went into a Kmart for the first time in a long time yesterday and let's just say I was shocked at the toy isle. It looked like bomb went off in there. (...) Care to share any deals that you've noticed (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | | | | | (...) All I can say is look for sets that are over a year old. Sometimes I get lucky. I will just check a store from time to time and maybe scan an older set or two to see if it has been reduced but not marked. That is the first deal I have seen in (...)

| | | | | | The rant is fine, and yes, you can find some good deals at some of the sloppiest of stores. But you can't lay all the blame on K-Mart (And I'm not suggesting that was anyone's intention). The toy sections are usually a mess, but it's not because (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

What's really scary is that they actually carry foodstuffs of all kinds since they have a full service supermarket (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | | | Yes, High Street is very messy. And normally, they have a dismal selection. You should have gone to Floresta. I scored 10 SW Pod buckets tonight. Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

And I'm willing to share with folks in the Bay Area who may want one of these and didn't get one. I am sending 2 for gifts (...)

I'd take one bucket off your hands if that would be okay... -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
