I used to like and trust Kmart. But during the recent closings they have chosen to be really dishonest with customers knowing many suckers will buy anything they are told was on sale.
Kmart drastically marked up prices at the closing stores, sometimes several times greater than the normal price then discount it 5% TO 25% off.
For example Johnson and Johnson Jell Baby oil was 11.98, on sale at 20% off. A normal bottle at any drug store or grocery store would be under $3.00! So getting around $2.20 off means your still paying 3-4 times the normal price.
Another example was bikes, most marked 20% off then last week 25%. problem was I could find any of those bikes for 119.00 to 125.00 at Walmart and target that Kmart was charging $200.00 for, marking off 40 bucks and over charging by 40 to 50 bucks.
this was common all over the store, everything marked way above list prices then discounted a little to make people think they were getting a deal. Instead they were being robbed!
