Walmart, Target, or something else?

Just wondering who shops at Walmart, Target or some place else?

I LOVE Walmart. It has everything including groceries, the prices are great and its a one stop shop. I go there like 4 times a week. The place rocks. I seriously couldnt live without it.

I live in a small town with like 3,000 people so we have to go 15 mins outside of town just to a Walmart. They are building a Target near it now, but I hate Target.

To me it just seems like a overpriced knock off of Walmart. Everything I see there is so much more and I could get it cheaper at Walmart. I cant stand to go there anymore.

Where does everyone else shop?

I have never been to Walmart or Target. My sister bought a really cute bathing suit at Target which makes me want to check it out.

personally i LOVE target. the walmart around my house is junky-looking and just does not seem to be clean or professional. i went there today actually because i needed claritin and it took me 20 minutes just to find a line with a cashier. i ended up just going to a lane where i could ring my own stuff up.

target has great clothes, a great food shop and just great all around people. plus it sells my dog's food "pedigree" for about the same low price as petsmart.

TARGET or TARJAY (as my fashion-minded coworkers say) rules!

Well, I think we covered this for me in the Dating thread... but

WALMART....

I go at least 3 times a week, and if I'm bored sometimes more than that. Its about the only store we have around here anyway. Plus its great because you can get everything you need at once (my Walmart even has a gas station).

I do enjoy Target too though, there just isn't one anywhere around here.

I've been to Wal-Mart a couple of times. It's not too bad of a store.

I live in Target. I go there at least twice a week. Don't make fun of me but I even by clothes in there. Most of my friends do too. I like Walmart but the closest one is in Valley Stream Long Island which is a bitch to get to. Sometimes I will go there when I go upstate to visit my 'rents but Target is my one-stop shop so I would much rather go there. Tar-zhay all the way!

All the rednecks in high school always said "THE Walmart"

"I'm going to The Walmart to buy socks"

"I need stop by The Walmart to get some soda"

So, I say it too...

I don't care that Walmart enslaves their employees...if I can get a nice cotton blend t-shirt for three bucks, then go me.

Neither!

I won't shop at Walmart because the staff is rude. They actually go out of their way to be nasty.

I won't shop at Target because they did some nasty, sneaky, and underhanded things to get permission to build a store in my town, and lied to the homeowners nearby. Yeah, that's how you get ahead in corporate America, but they were egregious. Nobody in my town will set foot there.

Thankfully we have alternatives...

I love Wal Mart and Target and Ross!!!!! they all are the best! and i can even go into a 99cent only store or a dollar tree and find cute little no nothing items.

I can also go into macys or dillards and find things there too.

I am not snobbish where i can find a deal!

I avoid Wal-Mart at all costs because of their labor and business practices.

There was a debate in Chicago about allowing Wal-mart in the city...I believe one will be opening on the west side pretty soon.

I'm a Target a.k.a Tar-jhey chica myself.

Agreed, the Wal-Mart around here is the same way.

I can never leave that store empty-handed...

I agree. I don't care how cheap it is. Plus the fact that the lighting in the stores gives me a headache. I sincerely hope that the class action lawsuit knocks them down several pegs.

I go to Target and K-mart, but I still miss Phar-Mor. That was the best store EVER.

Target, because it's the closest at my house.
