Wait. Do people go into Kmart and target weekly?

[-] yesterdayshero@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes. I don't personally, but know Kmart at least is cheap for clothing basics, especially for kids. It also has cheap homeware and small appliances. Not everyone can afford to buy expensive brands.

Edit: should also point out, they pretty much have clearance stuff on sale weekly, so people probably go to see what they can get for cheap.

Yep, I get all my kids clothes from kmart/target. No point getting expensive clothes when they'll outgrow them anyway.

I get most of my everyday clothes from Target. You get the occasional dodgy seam, but for jeans, trackies, and t-shirts they're pretty good. In no way haute couture, but it's $10 a t-shirt.

How long do their jeans last?

Not long, but I'm no tradie, I barely wear them, so long enough for me.

I do, its cheap and decent quality, pretty much all of my Gym gear comes from Kmart as oppose to spending $200 on Puma gear ...

Perhaps people that buy lots of chocolate and confectionery? That's the biggest theoretical demographic I can think of (my only other thought are people that buy new clothes and underwear rather than using a washing machine, but I don't think that would be many).

There are many who live in shopping deserts (? I think I got that name wrong) where Target or Kmart may be their only choice for groceries.

[-] lordriffington@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I suspect your frame of reference for this might be from somewhere other than Australia. Neither one has groceries in Australia, other than a small selection of snacks.

That said, almost every shopping centre where you get one of the big supermarkets, you'll also get at least a Kmart or Target.

Yeah... I didn't look where this was being posted before I commented.
