Plus their prices are cheap, and their Items have good quality. Plus it's always someone nice standing in the front door to greet you, and to kick you out. (when you leave) LOL
I give them 2 thumbs up with a wiggle. hee hee

Strobelite, I'm in Atlanta and there is a Super Target right off HWY 78 in Stone Mountain (5 minutes from my house!) I loooooves me so Target!!

That is too cool. Is that the only target supercenter here in atlanta? Now I know that SOME k-marts, and some Targets started selling, a little bit of groceries but not Not all of a grocery store's products. I see target trying to move on up in the world. ha ha ha

I choose TARGET (pronounced tar zhay )

I know this is old, but I had to tell you that my friends and I also pronounce Target (which is my store of choice) like you do, so it sounds like some expensive French boutique!! Target is a semi-poor woman's Best Friend!

Although it is messy at times, I love WALMART!!!! K-mart's stuff looks very cheap, and target, as pretty as the store is set up, just never did it for me...I am the one who is always there @ 3am looking for some cereal the next morining or procrastinating (the h.w. gets done...eventually)

Walmart-hands down!

I find myself shopping at Walmart all the time, (for toiletries, things for the house, and sometimes, I may even find a cute pair of shoes. But latley, I have been hooked on Target. The stuff that they have is SOO TRENDY and CUTE!!!!

Which one do you prefer?

TARGET? or WALMART?

[Wonderful1908]

Wal-meezy (as we say in my house). I grew up on Target but for the essentials and the basics you can not beat walmart, and they match prices.


***Disclaimer*** You can not go in Wal-Mart and just run in and buy one thing you WILL fall into the Wal-mart trap and end up with all kinds of stuff you needed for the house, and yes the bill will be the fool, like what, I just wanted to but some trash bags...what happended?

[AKA2D '91]

Most of my purchases come from Walmart.

Target is more trendy. We do not have a Super Target; so Walmart gets more props.


Target has better bathrooms. For some strange reason, no matter how new or old the Walmart is....the bathrooms are ALWAYS a mess....ALWAYS!

WAAAAAALLLLLLLL-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT

You cannot compare. Now, Target and sometime K-Mart has some cute baby clothes, but thats it for clothes. They closed half of the ones around here, including the one in Forestville Mall, which EVERYBODY and that grandmama went to around here because all 3 Wal-Marts in the area you have to drive to. Wal-Mart IS the devil, it is beyond addictive, and I ALWAYS spend too much money in there. But I do have one gripe...why are the Huggies at Wal-Mart ALWAYS gone, especially at the one in Clinton. They have more than enough Pampers, Luvs and WM brand, but never any Huggies, or if they do have them, always the wrong size lol. And their clearance racks are gonna be the death of me. One time they had some cute pants but they were in a toddler size, and my daughter was only a few months, but they were $1 so we got them. She can fit them now!!!! And I love the Sam's Choice juice and cookies, especially the butter cookies and the cranberry-black cherry juice.

LAWD HELP US if they build a SUPER Wal-Mart in the area...

I got to SUPER WALMART at least once a month and it is ALWAYS crowded. From now on, I will go there after 10 to cut down on the aisle traffic.



But I shan't complain. Where else can you get Michelina's for 97 cents versus $2 or $3 at the grocery store.

I just love me some Walmart as a matter of fact I just came back from there, I am trying to walk this baby out! But I can say that I do like some of the deals Target has when they mark stuff down, also I like there comforter sets and stuff!

I love Tar-jay. Target is sort of like WalMart but in my opinion offers better quality and that's affordable. It doesn't seem as crowded and messy as WalMart.

The funny thing is that I'm from Mississippi and down South, Wal-Mart (or Wally World as we call it) ruled because the HQ was in Arkansas. Then I moved to Michigan and K-Mart rules because the HQ is in Troy which is like nearly 2 hours away. However, I never stepped foot inside a Target until I moved to Saginaw because the Target in Mississippi was over 2 hours away from my hometown.

My preference is Wal-Mart, even though I used to work at one and it was a job that I would not wish on my ex-husband (not like he worked a day in his life anyway!)

I think that there is some powerful force at work in Wally World (perhaps Sam Walton's ghost ) that just makes people spend more than they planned to when they go in there.

Target is nice because I can use my Marshall Field's card in there and get some nice things. But since some of their stuff is pricey, I run less of a risk of coming out with more than I planned to buy.

In Saginaw, Wal-Mart is about to take over b/c we already have one Wal-Mart and a Sam's Club (don't get me started about Sam's). Now they are building a Super Wal-Mart and a new and bigger Sam's Club down the street from Saginaw Valley State Univ. and it's set to open sometime early next year. The college campus is like but some of the people in Saginaw are like and

Overall, Tarjay. Like the Mossimo Woman line (bought two classic peacoats for $50 and they've held up), looking forward to Isaac Mizrahi's line (wonder if a 16 will fit me) and even like the Liz Lange maternity line, although I'm not pregnant and pushing 40, I probably will never be pregnant.

K-Mart gets good marks for the Martha Stewart everyday line for house stuh. Things like hangers, mothballs for cachemire, and all that.

Wally World only when I need it cheap. Too crowded and messy for my taste.

Organization materials and decoration-Target.

Odds and ends-Walmart.

Target is my favorite! I love Target. I can spend hours there.

But, in college I was introduced to Wal-Mart. I spent a great deal of time in Wal-Mart as well. It was new and closer then Target.

We don't have many Wal-Marts in Cali.
