K-Mart is SOOO expensive. However, with that said, the K-Mart in Russell Springs does VERY well. I don't get it. Columbia (at most 20 minute drive) just opened a Wall-Mart SuperCenter. I worry a little that SuperCenters are popping up everywhere while Sears, KMart, and some Lowes are closing everywhere.

I read a Yahoo! story a couple of years ago that told that the CFO of WalMart came right out and said that it was going for the throat of these stores like KMart, etc... because they wanted to drive out competition so they could raise prices. I have never heard a CEO/CFO publicly say something like that, but this one did.

Obviously that bothers me a little bit but at the same time, we are in a tough economy. While I would like to spend $50-$70 more to buy the same things at KMart to keep prices eventually lower (doesn't make sense to say it, but it made sense in my head), it is simply ignorant economics for someone in my tax-bracket/basement.
