I went to Kmart for the first time (gasp!) And everything was more expensive than I was expecting. Everyone talks about how cheap it is but it just seemed like normal budget priced stuff, the same prices you'd expect at The Warehouse. They had a different range of things, but they didn't seem to be cheaper than normal.

It's the same quality as The Warehouse but sometimes has better designs. I'd estimate it's about 5% cheaper.

Really depends on the item though. Eg Kmart is better than Warehouse for Crayola products, rip off versions of American Girl dolls, those storage bags you suck the air out of. The Warehouse is better than Kmart for sheets, tents and chocolate. Both of them are terrible for shoes but kmart is ok for slippers and Warewhare is better for fake crocs.

Yeah the impression I got was that it was like the warehouse, but had a different selection of things.

Pretty much. People whose wallets let them have other options mostly go to them if they're buying something that is the same quality everywhere (air beds, clothes drying racks, checkered tea towels, big plastic blanket bags with a tartan pattern) or just want to let loose on buying stuff like throws or letting their kids buy hair accessories or whatever.
