16 TikTok Memes For Aussies Who ‘Eat, Sleep, Kmart, Repeat’
It is simply impossible to say no to a friend or family member’s invitation to go on a “cheeky trip to Kmart.”
Kmart is an institution in Australia and for those living in Melbourne lockdown the past few months, the urge to go to the variety store has never felt greater. Feel like pure shit, just want to aimlessly wander through Kmart for two hours on a Sunday, emerging with three bags full of watermelon-printed homewares and summer outfits for my cats.

I don’t know if it’s the bright colours, the prices, or just the fact that Kmart somehow became cool in recent years, but Aussies are constantly pulled towards their nearest store on a weekly basis. These memes from some extremely funny people on TikTok summarise the feeling of being Kmart obsessed.
