I prefer walmart over Target because I just feel that Walmart has a greater variety and we realy do not have a Target in the DFW metro mess.

I don't shop any of those stores in person; however, I order certain things online from Walmart.  I can have my stuff delivered for free if I spend at least $45. 

I don't pay for a car or auto insurance, at this time in my life, so it's nice to have some of my groceries delivered.   :heart:

I don't shop in any of those stores that much but I do like target over walmart.
They tend have what I need and it is much easier to find.
Walmart can be overwhelming and not very helpful. Plus target is closer to me
i Do use walmart for gift cards but I do that online. :wave: :peace:

I prefer walmart over K-mart and Target.  Target is the most expensive of the 3 stores.  Walmart seems to always have better deals.

It depends on what I am looking for, for Groceries and products like shampoo, deodorant, etc. definetely Walmart is the cheapest.  If I am looking for clothes, shoes or accessories then Target would be on my list.

Well considering Kmart around here has closed all of them up I cant say them, but even before I didn't like them. I am handycapped and their electric scooters were never working and thier aisles were to crowded just like Targets are so it is very hard for me to manover around when I am able to get a scooter. So my choice is Wal Mart but mostly the super wal marts

I prefer to shop at Target over Walmart, but it's clear that Walmart has the best prices. However, the stuff that I have bought from Target has rusted, broken down, faded very easily. Bad quality I think.

Post by: kapeh12 on October 15, 2012, 07:18:13 am
I tend to prefer Target - there is a SuperTarget just around the corner from me, so it's very convenient, plus a prefer their fresh produce over other stores in the area.  Additionally, I try to win Target gift cards on penny auctions which make my food very cheap.

I prefer Target over Walmart in my area as it's laid out with more open space and is brighter.  Our Walmart is so crowded with "stuff" it's hard to navigate/shop there, so I rarely go there anymore.

I  prefer walmart but i have to go out of town.  Even though a new super center was built it is poorly ran by the manager and is now a dead end store.  It is to bad because it is right beside a major highway and by the bypass.  NO gas station no resturants have been built by it even though it has been there for several years now  :sad1:

I have a Walmart and a Target relatively at the same distant, and I definitely use both. Our Walmart isn't too dirty, and if you know when to go, you won't find it crowded. Target is slightly cleaner, and also not so overcrowded. I guess I'm lucky to have the best of both worlds. I have to admit, though, that there is a further Walmart which is a total mess and that I avoid like the plague.

I like Walmart because everything there is super cheap, but depending on what it is I sometimes go to Target instead.  I like Target better for interior decorating things, because they don't look so cheap.  I do enjoy getting the most for my money!

Just like Black1304, I go to Walmart more because it is cheaper.  For me - it is also much closer.  If Target were as close, I would go there more often.  Love to go and sip a cup of Starbucks while I shop.

Post by: nhendrickson on October 15, 2012, 05:30:05 pm
I'd rather pay a bit more at Target.  Most of the K-Marts in this area are closed. Walmart is cluttered and full of the dregs of society.  It's just too unpleasant to even browse there.  Plus you can't get a cell phone signal at the one closest to me so you can't use any price comparison apps to find out if you really are getting a good deal.

I have shopped at all 3 and I prefer Walmart even though K-Mart is closer. Walmart has the most variety and the best prices, but Kmart does have some deals at times. Target is more modern, but their prices are the highest so I usually don't shop there although recently I bought something from there. However Walmart's selection and prices will make it worth the extra drive for us until further notice.

I'm an empty-nester and live alone and seldom go to any of them. The first place I go is K-Mart because they have hardly any customers. They also don't always have what I'm looking for. I go to Wal-Mart only if I need something in an emergency and can't find it anywhere else.

I like Target best for baby clothes for my granddaughter.  They have a much better selection but we don't have a Target in our town so its a 30 min. drive to go to Target.  For other stuff I guess I prefer Walmart because Target seems to be higher on groceries, paper goods, etc.  We don't have a K-Mart either (used to years ago) and the one that's closest is junky so I don't go there too often unless there's something they have that I can't get anywhere else.

I must say i prefer walmart more than the others. Kmart is good for clothing and toys when on sale, target is a store i go to only when bored and just wondering around. Target prices can be a little extreme. All in all i would say walmart is my favorite choice.

I use to fall under the hype of Walmart being very cheap in price compared to the competitors, but nowadays with various special deals available with Target I no longer think this way as much anymore. I don't mind visiting Walmart when I am around the vicinity, but Target is a great alternate (and more convenient).

Target may be a bit more expensive, but I prefer them to other mass merchandising stores because they more of a variety in comparison.   I notice the atmosphere is also more laid-back, I could stay in there all day if I wanted to. lol

I shop at Walmart every week but recently had to go to Target because they didn't have something I needed.
Wow ... they upgraded the Target to include grocery items.  I may have to add target to my shopping trip in
the future.  

As for Kmart, I hardly ever go there anymore.

walmart treats employees wrong from what I hear, but their prices are a little lower on some items, not food, but they will price match, about all I like about that and they have a new app out to earn money. target I like the class alot better, and their cheap games for pcs always got something on sale, but they are higher price. kmart, higher because walmart regulates their prices in the market, seriously they do, I worked there 4 years ago, they make the companies either not sell to them, or they won't buy, or the companies have to charge more of rate, if they allow to sell.

I'm a little biased on this because I used to work for a wal-mart bakery.  Transferred into ICS after developing tennis elbow and carpal tunnel.  I prefer shopping in target.  The environment is clean, friendly and modern.  Wal-mart has come a long way..I like spending my $$$ there more than Target to save $$$ but I don't enjoy the experience as much.

If I have the choice, I will go to Target (clothing, storage) or Meijers (food).  The only time I go to Walmart or Kmart instead is when I don't have direct access to them or they are a lot closer than the nearest Target/Meijers.

I was on vacation at a friends house and Walmart was maybe 30 mintues away while Target was over 2 hours.  So, that plays a big part in my decision.

Walmart is just five minutes from where I live, and I do most of my grocery shopping there.  They have the best prices.  I like Target better as a whole, but the closest one is thirty minutes away.  We used to have a K-mart in our town, but it went out of business.  I like Walmart just fine.  We can usually find what we are looking for there, and we can also buy through the Internet and have it delivered to our store.  It's very convenient!
