wait wait! I have something to report. I think kmart has become irrelevant and desperate.

Posted by sexy new fish love mandy lane (aka amanda) Jul 8 '09, 18:40

I use mentadent toothpaste because I have trouble making decisions and using mentadent takes the decisionmaking process out of my hands when I buy toothpaste. I already have the pump, so I'm buying mentadent. see?

so I ran out of toothpaste last week and went to walmart to rebuy and they no longer sell mentadent. I went to rite aid this morning, same deal. I went to CVS after work. same deal. I went to martin's too -- same deal.

and then I got lost on my way home and drove by kmart and stopped in to see if they had it. they *did.* so I bought all four packs that they had (please feel free to come over and brush your teeth) and went to pay. my total before tax was $22.00.

I got *2* $5 coupons urging me to come back before 7/22.

so my toothpaste in theory cost me net $12.00? kmart is this desperate to have me come back? and if every other store known to man no longer sells mentadent, but they do, aren't they clinging to relevancy?

note that I'll go back and buy more toothpaste. but otherwise I have no use for kmart.

- right, but what flavor? I can't pick. so I let the fact that I have the pump at home pick for me. (it works for me.) -- nm - sexy new fish love mandy lane Jul 8, 18:44
you're complaining they gave you too many coupons? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 8, 18:42 3
- they're not making any money. they're begging me to come back. it's so patryk of them. (I'm laughing.) -- nm - sexy new fish love mandy lane Jul 8, 18:43 2
  - It's just marketing. Odds are you never use those coupons. - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 18:45 1
    - sure I will. my kmart is out of mentadent now but state college? likely no. I'll be there this weekend. - sexy new fish love mandy lane Jul 8, 18:48
