    So i usually don't shop at Kmart i usually go to Walmart but i have found that a lot of things that walmart carries Kmart does to and it's usually cheaper they have better clothes for kids and adults and better looking shoes also they carry a lot of other things that are better than walmarts the kids clothes are a lot cheaper and they are always having some kind of sale on the clothes and also always have new stuff walmart has had the same clothes for kids for the past 4 months everytime i go it's the same things and no cheaper Kmart on the other hand every time i go it has new clothes and has some kind of sale. Does anyone find Kmart better and cheaper than walmart? Do you think walmart is losing it's touch with the whole everyday low price when truly it isn't low prices?

    I don't think walmart is losing it's touch because when I sit down and actually compare how much money I saved
    I can always tell that walmart is a store that will always save me extra cash. However my Kmart has been raising it's prices on clothes which didn't make
    any sense to me. I guess it may depend on the areas where we live.

    Most of the Kmart stores in my area have closed down. I don't that there are more than a handful of Kmart stores in the Southern California area. It's really sad because I loved going to Kmart as a kid. It's been years since I have step foot into a Kmart store.

    I think that Kmart has Walmart beat when it comes to clothes. Their clothes are a little more stylish than Walmart's, but Walmart still beat Kmart when it comes to beauty and cosmetics. Their cleaning supplies are cheaper too. I just shop at Kmart for their clothing sales. I once got shorts for $1 and cute tops for $3. Can't beat Kmart.

    I Loved going to Kmart as a kid too and still do for the clothes. I find that the clothes they carry are cheaper and honestly look better than Walmart stuff. Walmart seems to have become quite lax when it comes to quality in their clothes department. Since my clothes budget is limited I really look around for good bargains and kmart is fitting the bill.

    The city where I am in Canada had a K-Mart and it closed a number of years back.
    There are two Walmarts in Barrie. Seems like they are all over my area.
    There is also a Zellers here and it is in the process of closing its doors.
    I have to say that although obviously now I do not have that choice between Walmart and K-Mart, I am generally pretty happy with the Walmart for my needs.

    I do think it depends where you live cause some states or cheaper than others. I went to Virgina and found it was way cheaper than where i live. But i stopped shopping at walmart for groceries recently and when i sat down and compared my grocery bill from walmart and where i shop now i realized i am saving 200 a month since shopping else where than walmart.

    Well of course if that's the only option you have than walmart is good and the way to go but in my case i have a kmart so i prefer kmart over walmart any day.

    I used to prefer Kmart because it was a bit smaller and the prices compared to Walmart. The prices seem higher now unless an item is on sale. Mine is also rarely stocked with sale items and the employees are terrible. They would all rather be elsewhere and it shows.

    Our kmart has really struggled since walmart appeared, but I do often find that kmart has a better selection. The prices vary...when they have sales, kmart is definitely better. No one seems to frequent it, though.

    Here in Key West, the big problem with K-Mart is the lines. I live about a mile from my K-Mart. But there is a major construction project going on here, and I have to go the long way around to get there. Then I have to stand in long lines. I work second shift and I do most of my shopping at our 24 hour Wynn Dixie around midnight. I would rather pay a little more for most stuff at Wynn Dixie than endure the frustration of spending over an hour going to K-Mart during the day.

    I compared some of my shopping the other day with Kmart and Walmart and just about all the things i needed to get were cheaper at Kmart than walmart the one here is usually always stocked with sales their clothes are always on sale from 30 to 50 percent off so i love it.

    Yeah since walmart it seems Kmart has been forgotten i think that's why a lot of them got closed down.

    I can understand that, here that's one of the big problems with Walmart there will be longgg lines from the register to the back of the store and only two registers open than you always have that one cashier that is taking forever and just talking away while the line gets bigger

    There's a K-Mart where I live now, but I was always raised with the idea that they weren't very good because they couldn't stay in business! Literally all of them in a certain radius closed down, so it's not a store I make it a habit to visit. I do know, though, that I always save money when I shop at Walmart. It's much cheaper for me to buy groceries there than anywhere else.

    I have a Kmart a block away from my house so I stop in for emergency items sometimes. I find them to be WAY overpriced, but then they are the closest store for this neighborhood so they act as a 'quickie mart' in my opinion. I wish they carried more dairy--they'd be a real lifesaver more often for me. As for clothes, I've never really perused the selection so I'll have to some time.
