What's the most unusual thing you've ever bought from Sears or Kmart? What did you use it for??

The chromed wire kitchenware basket, at K-Mart.

Made a great ratchet parts holder and organizer up to the cash rep.

I LIKE unusual stuff!

They're up to the second version of the Craftsman screwdriver handled BBQ tools set!

The Craftsman metal tool ornaments are just AWESOME.

I can hardly wait, each year, for their seasonal arrival.

They're $9.99 each.

So, first get the ones you MUST have, at full price.

Then, wait for the first wave of ornament sales and get the twosies.

Finally, you can pickup the remnants on close-out sale for as little as $3.97.

But, you can NOT be picky about selection of ornaments on this last sale.

Why so many ornaments you say?

One for the tool tree.

Second one for the bolo.

And, another one to keep safely in it's box for its FULL collectible value!

The one in the box also "dates" the other two ornaments.

I think I've got ornaments going back to 1967.

Those Craftsman Extreme Grip wrenches are fantastic!

They come in two sets (Metricanical and Fractational) of three wrenches and another set of Extreme Grip/ Ratcheting end wrenches.

I think I saw one of the sets on clearance sale.

Going...

Going.

Get'm now...

Although, I have not purchased anything unusual at Sears or Kmart, that I can think of, I think a lot of their Halloween decor items are pretty interesting and fun.  There are some things on there I have never seen before.  Worth checking out!

I've never really bought anything unusual at Kmart before but living in Hawaii, you get to see cool souvenirs and local foods stuffs there.  I guess that could be weird or unusual.

I got the Hawaiian "keep it loose" hand magnet, that I used as a bolo.

Until the "little finger" done broke off.

Resin bolos just don't last...
