Well, I had forgotten how cool the stores are and ended up finding a lot more $10 or less gifts than I imagined.

June Fashion Finds At Kmart…..Who Knew?
I recently wrote a post about cute summer shoes for $30 or less and one of the shoes I showcased was from Kmart.

Overall, I found their prices similar to Target or Wal-Mart for clothes but I really wanted to focus on their accessories and what a great bunch of deals I got!
