Shoppers froth over Kmart’s ‘incredible’ dupe of $900 item
The budget retailer has slashed more than $600 off an expensive homewares item, with shoppers labelling it “an absolute steal”.
Savvy shoppers are raving about an “incredible” find at Kmart after the store announced it was dropping more than 100 limited-edition items in stores.
The budget retailer has added 113 different “special” items as part of its Black Friday sale for 2022 – including a “Full Length Hollywood Mirror” priced at just $279.
While it’s not the cheapest item you’ll buy at the Australian retailer, social media users have pointed out the Kmart version is “hundreds of dollars cheaper” than the iconic light-up mirrors – known for being used in celebrity dressing rooms – sold by other outlets.

One major Australian beauty brand sells a similar version for $850 – while another has priced it at $900, making the Kmart price “an absolute steal”.
“That Hollywood mirror is such a bargain; I need it,” one shopper declared on TikTok.
“What a deal. So good,” another said.
And someone else wrote: “This is honestly an incredible price. It’s hundreds of dollars cheaper than other brands.”
The “superstar” mirror contains 20 “Hollywood style” LED lights and has three settings – cool, warm and natural. It also has a touch sensor control and is fully dimmable.
Other items in the annual sale that shoppers are frothing over include a huge above-ground pool, which measures 3m by 2m and is 66cm high, on offer for $139.
The Bestway Pool Set comes complete with a pool, frame and pump and holds 3300 litres of water – and has been declared “such good value” by shoppers.
“We have one of these and they’re so good – lasted all summer last year, and it’s all ready for another one,” one Kmart fan declared on Facebook.
However many urged others to check fencing regulations, stating due to the size of it and the volume of water it needs, it “may not be worth the hassle”.

“Still need a fence around it. I got one of these pools last year and my neighbour dobbed me into council for not having a fence around it. I was told by council either fence the pool or take it down,” one person wrote.
“Needs a legal safety gate right around it that will cost 10x’s the pool cost,” another added.
Kmart’s Black Friday sales kicked off at 8am on Thursday, with the store warning there was “limited stock” on every item offered.
