I rarellllllly shop at Wal-Mart and I have never been at the one by my new house, just the one by my parents. I was at Target, Kmart and Kohls last night....bought a bathing suit at Kohl's--so dreadful! Being a typical girl I think I look fat in it!!!!!!!!! But Kohl's and Target are my usual places-- I will buy clothes or whatever there. I only go to Kmart for thing for the home!

Definitely Target. It's only 2 blocks from my house, so I tend to stop there on my way to/from work to pick up "just one thing" and then end up getting suckered in to buying a whole basketful.

The Walmarts by me are really pretty icky. Always messy, always full of screaming toddlers, and always amazingly busy. Target I can be in and out in 15 minutes, even when I do browse... I can't pick up a toothbrush at Walmart without it taking half an hour.

K-Mart.... well, there used to be a K-Mart about half a mile down from my house. I went in there once and it smelled like urine. I think they closed down all but one of them in the city, and thankfully, the one by us was one of them.

Edit: I miss ShopKo. It was cheaper than Target but about the same level of clean.... not as much cute little house stuff but awesome for getting just basic stuff.

I think it all depends what I am shopping for where I actually go. If I'm buying crafty crap or looking for a deal, I am going to go to Wal-Mart. If I am looking for cute stuff for my apartment, I am going to go to Target.

All things being equal, though, I prefer to shop at Target. Wal-Mart always seems to be overrun with shoppers and not have enough employees.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I hate K-Marts. I've never been to one that was nice, so the idea of shopping there is completely foreign to me.

I think it depends on where you live at if your stores will be a mess or whatever and the time of day and day. The one Walmart I shop is immaculate. I know where everything is I can go right for it and it never changes. They always have the things I need in stock and the people are friendly. Plus there is always someone there working in an asile or something. Ive been to some dumpy Walmarts before, but the one near my house is great. I love it. Plus if people were nasty, it seems any store people can be, I use the self checkout and dont have to worry about anyone being rude. My parents just got a HUGE superwalmart near them and its great. It is always packed and thats annoying, but its a small town and everyone goes there.

Target does seem to be pretty clean when I go to any near me. Kmart, well most have left near where we live, but the ones Ive been to in Akron have been dumps. The Kmart at my parents only very old people shop there since PharMor has left and I think they are talking of going out of business.

Since WallyWorld is only 5 min's away in comparison to Target's 30 min's...I have to go to WalMart. :(

I do rock the Dollar Stores and Big Lots...I love those places!

I go to Wal-Mart/Sam's Club for food and little small cheap things I need like kitchen utensils.

I go to Target when I want to get stuff that's a little nicer (like the wine rack I bought).

I am a Target peron.
In my town we only have a Kmart but I cringe going there. I would rather drive 30 minutes to Target.
I'll go to Walmart but every time I leave there, I remind myself that I am never going back because they are so trashy.
