Incredibly Cheap Finds

Well, not new info for anyone here, but mention it anyway. 303 FG is a good product, but the sprayers they have on their bottles are quite possibly some of the worst. Went through 5 of them, some konked out on the very first spray others lasted a bit. Tube into the bottom of the sprayer inside just fall off at the head. Once it does it's over. Pushed them back in numerous times, might get 2 to 3 sprays, no matter how you pull the sprayer.
So heads up when buying, as others have said, use a different sprayer. I keep all my Megs Ultimate wheel cleaner bottles, the sprayers have never let me down.

I will also say my new Carpro Fabric2.0 sprayer failed right out of the gate last summer. Megs saved that too.
 
I saw this at Kmart today, anyone game to give it a try at this price. Also, their definition of large is different to mine.

Yeah, a while back I thought they were going to disappear, shops were looking very old, cheap and nasty stock. The same company that owns them owns our Target, Bunnings (think Home Depot) Officeworks (Office Depot), and a few others. But they're refitting all the shops, they actually look nice now, and the stock while still cheap, isn't as nasty, but I'm not buying that car cover. I bought my dog harnesses there, $12 each, if I got them at a pet store I'd be looking at $50+ each, and these ones are probably stronger.

I wondered the same thing so I googled a bit. Says 1 in NY and 1 in FL, 3 in US VI and 1 in Guam. I worked part time at K-Mart in college. They paid every Friday, in cash. Was great back in the 70's for a broke-ass college kid looking to make ends meet. By the end it was a pitiful shell of its former self, a real life lesson in mismanagement and fraud.

I think our Kmarts are safe, when I was looking them up they said sales were up by 7.5% and profits are up 26%, so whoever did their restyle got it right. Still cheap products, but they mirror a lot of high end stuff.

I don't think we ever had the Traxx brand, but what we call trainers are available from $4 to $35, don't know how long they'll last. We did have the blue light special up until a few years ago. Next time I'm there I'll take a pic of their car care section, from memory, lots of Armour All stuff.

I'm old enough to remember when K-Mart and Big W had their own cafe within the store. You know, that it's so exhausting buying cheap consumer goods that you need to pause for a coffee and a bucket of hot chips right then and there in the store. :confused:

I think I used to like their hotdogs, chips, and a can of lemonade, but it was a long time ago, like 40 years I think.

At Costco's food court you can get a combo of all beef hot dog and soft drink for $1.50 USD . . . and it's a good hot dog. Not the kind of thing to warrant a trip on its own but if you're already there . . .

Most of the stuff I had in cart wasn’t on sale for prime. Spent a couple $$ on some stuff but nothing detail related.
