We shop at both, but go to Wal-Mart more, since there are more of them and prices are lower.

Perfect example of how Wal-Mart saves you money. I just signed up with Verizon for cell phone service and they wanted $29.99 for a car charger. I got a Belkin charger at Wal-Mart for $7.98. Before the Wal-Mart is evil crowd comes out, both chargers were made in China.

I HATE Walmart. It is dirty, sticky and they only sell junk. And if you pay attention, they have a few good deals, but they are actually MORE expensive than other stores. I am shocked that people have been soooo brainwashed to LOW PRICES ALWAYS. Yeah, that is how the Waltons are worth 60 Billion dollars... :dead:

You tell me what item someone else sells cheaper than Wal-Mart that is not a sale or limited time offer?

Their entire home improvement department for one. They carry seconds clothes. And they like to play lots of tricks with everything intheir store. For example, my sister in law has a baby and their diaper boxes will have 5 less diapers. Yeah, it's a dollar cheaper, but you are getting LESS. They just cheapen everything. I am a buyer for a huge retail chain, and let me tell you...I have studied that company and they are SMART!!! They force the manufactures to cheapen the product, only sell it to them and make the company sell a more expensive and higher quality product to their competition so that they can say they have the "lowest" price. PAAAAALEASe. It is just a bunch of sh*t in my opinion.

I don't agree with how walmart treats their employees... I try to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes the convenience sucks me in. If I can find the same cheap item at a family dollar store, well that's where I go. Come to think of it, I dislike most mass chains.

I like the Wal-mart Super Centers for the groceries and some of their kids stuff. I like Target for clothes for me (yes they are cool) and their home decorations. It's funny. I live in a town where there are 4.....soon to be 5 Wal-Marts and their prices are different from store to store. The Wal-Mart that is in the rich part of town of course has the highest prices. That's just nuts. :wacko:

I shop Wal-Mart because it's there...I've been in Target too, both are ok. Wal-Mart seems cheaper than Target, but I like Target's home section. Forget the clothes in both, for me....their plus size section positively sucks!!!!
