our local k-mart store is having its annual clearance, including a fair bit of camping supplies. i picked up three of those indestructible blue-enameled camp mugs for 0.27 a piece, and a few two-packs of glow-sticks for 0.50 each.

I didn't even know Kmart still exists. All we have around here is Walmart.
By the way, I was at Walmart today and got 6-pack of Bic lighters for 4 bucks.

K-Mart bought Sears a few years ago (who saw that coming???) They seem to be doing on around here.

"...LED torch, sewing kit, manicure kit and a can of deodorant..."
That is a strange combo of stuff. I guess so you can see in the dark while you sew a button on, trim your fingernails, and smell good while you are doing it...

I just love to smell good while sitting in the dark, getting my nails done

The local K-Mart has 2 isles of Craftsmen Tools, But I do not buy Craftsmen Tools any more. A few years ago I took a 3/8 ratchet back because the ratchet mechanism quit working, they gave me a rebuilt one that had pits and someone’s initials engraved in it. They would not give me a new tool like was done in the past. They want to cut corners this way they loose me as a customer.

Hmmm...the one and only time I returned a Craftsman ratchet, I got a brand new one off the shelf but that was at a Sears store, can't recall the last time I was in a KMart.

John E I took the ratchet back to Sears, not K-Mart. Sears gave me the used rebuilt ratchet.

I did have a brand new Craftsman chain saw die on me, got a brand new one in exchange. But my daughter worked in the store (Sears), and her future husband did the exchange paperwork for me. That might have helped a bit...

They want to cut corners this way they loose me as a customer. No kiddin'. I have always purchased Craftsman tools because they were so liberal on the return policy, not because the quality was all that great. If they are starting to get stingy on the guarantee, they will likely lose a good number of customers.
