It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: Target or Wal-Mart...which one do you prefer?

If you know me at all, you know I'm a Target girl all the way. Not trying to be snobby or anything but I don't go to Wal-Mart...ever! The aisles are to stuffed and we call it the throw up store. My sister-in-law was shopping at Wal-Mart a few years back and my niece slipped and fell. Guess what she slipped in!?! Yep, you guessed it!

I LOVE Target, but the closest one to our home is 30 miles away.
We do have a "Wally-world" I try not to go there anymore than I have to.

TARGET. Love it. BUT ... wal-mart is cheaper and closer. AND YES, wal-mart's floors are the grossest in the world. m

target for me even though it is 25 miles from my house!!!
we actually have a super walmart that is close, relatively new, and VERY nice. however, the company strong-armed the residents in the area in which they built, and i refuse to patronize their store unless i'm in a bind!!!
i can happily say that i can count on one hand how many times i've been there since they opened last november:D
love,
dani

Well, actually I prefer the merchandise at Target, but I tend to shop at WalMart, as it's closer (and surprisingly clean...it's a newer one), and since my daughter works there part-time, we get a discount on everything but food (every little bit helps!).

I always run into someone I know at Wally World, and we tend to kid that it's our second home.....sad, I know.....

Hummm - I love target too, but our reality is that Walmart has the best prices on most things, usually - so.... what can you do?? I am a bargain gal!

I am definitely a Target girl - all the way! I make a weekly visit. The nearest Wal Mart is 30 minutes away but even if it was closer I'd prefer Target.

Hi Linda ~ I love Target...but Wally World is sooo much cheaper. They're building a super Walmart closer to us, so I'm hoping that will be cleaner. The old one is just gross..and kinda in the hood.
Yuck!

Have a great weekend!
Hugz,
Michele

No question about it - it's Target!

I love Target but I do shop at Wal Mart, probably more then Target when, because things are cheaper. I rarely buy food from Target. I buy the good stuff from Target & the cheap necessity stuff from Wally..

Target for sure.
I boycotted Walmart a year ago. I haven't been since last Nov. Yee Haw! I'm proud of it too!

Walmart is crowded, dirty, and unfriendly.

Funny that you should ask this today. I had to pick up a few things and was near Walmart. So, I asked myself should I run into Walmart or go a little bit further to Target. Target it was. It seems so clean and nicely organized. Walmart always seems messy and harder to find things. Not to mention at Target I could end the trip with a Java Chip Frappuccino (sp.) from the in-store Starbucks.

T.A.R.G.E.T!
It is about 2 minutes from my house. I have been know to put my kids to bed and wander the aisles just to relax. How sad is that - I am addicted to Target.
Wal-mart is about 2 1/2 minutes away and I really try to avoid going there.

I really enjoy shopping at Target more than Wal-Mart, but I go to Wal-Mart more because there is one on the way home from work and they have a craft section. :)

Target, even though I shop at Wal-Mart. But I have to shop at Wal-Mart for work :( My BIL manages a Wal-Mart and he has to hear me griping about it all the time.

Brenda said...

Oh nasty!!! That would definitely turn me off! I love the atmosphere of Target and shop there for dd clothing and home goods. But Walmart for basics.
God bless,
Brenda :)

I love finding clothes at Target because they're cute but cheap. I really love Target for a lot of reasons, but I buy my groceries at Wal-mart. I love that they price match any ads, and are almost always cheaper. I'm lucky and have a brand new Target and a brand new Wal-mart right across the street from each other, so I can hit both in one run. I refuse to hit Walmart on the weekends though, I can't stand the crowds.

I'm a target girl. My nephew works there. I do shop at Walmart, but Target is closer and has a few nicer things. Kathi

One too many horror stories where I have been the main character in a
WalMart store.

I am a TARGET girl all the way.

TARGET!!!!!

Kim Sue said...

Let's just say that I call Walmart "the heart of darkness". I avoid it. I sometimes have to avoid Target because I tend to spend too much money there!

Darlene said...

TARGET....but the closest one is about 45 minutes away so we usually end up going to WMart-YUCK! LOVE Target...can't say that enough!

GARAGE SALE GAL said...

I prefer BOTH...there is a brand new Walmart and it's clean and nice and they are cheaper than Target..:) The Target in my neighbor is small and they don't have some things. Target wants to add a new super target in the city and some of the "neighbors" don't want another one, too much traffic..so I guess it just depends on the items I need.
