Which would you choose and why? I myself like Kmart better always have to me walmart is always too packed and for some reason they never have what I am looking for. For example I went to Walmart not too long ago and I was looking for some shoes for my girls and they had a poor selction not to mention it took forever to find their size. This is my opinion and I know Walmart are good on their prices but to me that is not always the best choice. Let me know what you think if you had to choose between the two.

Hi mom! I am not in USA but if I was I would choose Walmart. I would choose it for the simple reason that my sister works in one of their stores and I would like to keep everything in the family

I do not know what the attraction of K-Mart is we have one here and it totally SUCKS. The only thing I have ever bought there are the trainers i wear everyday as they are comfortable and really cheap! But on the whole whole our K-Mart is full of really tacky stuff, the food is sooooooo expensive, the store has a terrible layout, and there are never any staff about . A totally unpleasant shopping experience all round

I prefer Kmart for the same reason. Wal-Mart is just too crowded sometimes. And personally I think Wal-Mart has the poorest selection of shoes around. I buy a lot of mine at K-Mart. I like KMart's clothing selection for ladies much better than WalMart to. WalMart seems more along the teen line than Kmart when it comes to clothing.

Do you live in a small town? I do and our walmart also sucks! I definitely know what you mean about the shoe selection!! They never have nothing. Even last summer when I went to walmart for sandals. There was tons of sandals, but they were pretty much all the same just different colors and I couldn't find the size for any of my kids except for in one shoe. So they all looked like dorks wearing the same shoes. I don't have the choice of a Kmart and I really wish I did. I would just have to drive and it wouldn't be worth it. Is Kmart more expensive than walmart or are they about the same?

To me Kmart has good prices too but I have heard of others saying they cost more. You might want to try target too they have a nice selcetion as well.

I prefer Kmart. When I was young we used to have them in our area. They had really good chocolate chip cookies that my parents used to buy for me. Unfortunately for me they became bankrupt. So we don't have Kmart where I live anymore. The cookies walmart sells aren't as good.

I have not visited either store in a very long time. However, I have purchased things online from both stores very recently and I must say that I have had a much better experience with Walmart. In fact, I purchased what I thought was a bagless vacuum from Kmart, But when it arrived, I was surprised to see that it needed bags. I went back to the site and found that the mistake was certainly theirs. Besides, Walmart has some really good online deals. I have got a lot of great stuff delivered for only ninety-seven cent. Kmart has been around longer and they certainly treat their employess better. I should know, since I worked for them in the late eighties and I have a niece working for them now, but I believe that they are a little behind as far as their merchandise is concerned.

I prefer Walmart. I get my money orders there every month and they are cheapest around for money orders!I don't have a checking account and that is why I get money orders! Then I do my monthly shopping for supplies! There are 2 in the city I live and they are convenently located! It bets running around!

Walmart - partly because there aren't many kmarts around here anymore but there are 3 walmarts within a 30 minute ride from home. I like the Walmart diapers and their site to store shipping option which we've used a couple of times.

Well i am pretty sure that kmart is going to go out of business soon because i've noticed that ours is not fully stocked anymore and so many more people like walmart. I like walmart too, i mean kmart and walmart are almost the same thing, but i just like walmart more. More people do go there, but that obviously means that they must have the better price, selection, or something.

I love Walmart. The prices are so much better then other places including Kmart. I do all or most my food shopping there. Health & Beauty. Car accseories and fluids. Pet supplies and clothes for kids and shoes. Don't get me wrong I will shop at Kmart for some things pop sales clerance. My moms Christmas present came from there. And I love them they got Little Ceasers there. Thats the only Little Ceasers left that I know of.

where I live, the stores are not as crowded as they used to be. Kmart is more pricey than Walmart. I know what you mean about not being able to find your size, etc. Have you ever tried Walmart.com? you can get really good deals and you don't pay for shipping if you choose to ship by site to store. they send you an email, you print it and go to the store and pick up your stuff. it is so convenient and you really can find some excellent deals! i bought a bunch of dress clothes from the clearance department online and had it shipped site to store. I got a dress,2 skirts and 2 tops for under $40. it was good quality and a great deal! while i was there I picked up laundry detergent, I can't get it cheaper anywhere else(i like Tide) and it just makes more sense for me. as far as shoes for kids goes, it is a little harder to buy online but if you are sure of the size you could do it. I am not a big online shopper but I hate going to the stores and wasting time. everything is so crazy expensive right now you have to shop smart! check out walmart.com- you will be surprised.

I mainly shop at Walmart. I never shop at either store for clothes. Walmart has a small selection of clothes in my town, and Kmart just doesn't have my style of clothes. We only shop at Kmart for backpacks and school supplies. Walmart is my stop for food, and Kmart is where I go for school related things.

I suppose since a Kmart is quite a ways from me, Wal-Mart would be my store of choice. It seems like this store has just about anything I could need. I did shop on occassion at Kmart, but they didn't always have what I needed, so I would have to go elsewhere.
