Kmart on STT, but be ready for alittle sticker shock. This is town (small) Kmart.
My friend is looking for a lounge chair. The regular price is $51.99. It's on sale this week for $44.99. They cut off or use black marker to hide the stateside prices..
I looked on kmart.com and the same lounge chair is selling for $39.99 and on sale for $33.99.
I did see a large beach chair and the price was $81.99 or $82.99 at the same Kmart. I don't know what the sale price is, I didn't check and didn't check online.

I might be off by a couple dollars. My memory isn't the greatest. I didn't write them down, but I know I am close 🙂

I don't know if Kmart (town or country) will have a good selection of beach chairs in November. They usually have seasonal items out, like Christmas. Maybe someone else on this board will know more especially, if they know what island.

I've found it's always a bit of catch-as-catch-can, time of year notwithstanding. KMart, PriceSmart, CULess and sometimes even Home Depot have them on and off but there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason. Buy one online! I couldn't find anything here so did that the last time around and got exactly the lounger I wanted at a reasonable price even including Priority Mail shipping.

Just did a Kmart and Costuless run - saw beach chairs in a good variety of styles and price in both stores - today.

I bring my lounge chairs with me. I generally don't check luggage so checking the chairs are free. I wrap two together in the heavier clear plastic and use a luggage strap to carry them. I get them at CVS usually for $20 each. I just store them on island, we have a timeshare with owner storage facilities. I just returned from STT and threw out 5 year old loungers, they were really looking ratty. When I go back in September, I'll be bringing two new ones. These are the same ones K-Mart sells for $60.
