In the fall of 2000 K-mart closed a bunch of stores, 3 near-ish to me, I was
able to get a good stash for 50%, not so much at deeper discounts - maybe

My local K-mart is ok, the people are very nice, the store is pretty clean,but
they installed those stoopid self check out machines, should have invested in
price scanners in the aisles like WM & Target.
