If conservatives were really determined, they could end Obamanism in 3-6 months. Stop spending on anything other than necessities. Make the economy tank, and voters will turn on it like a pack of wolves. Forget the tea parties, that’s eyewash.
I prefer Meijer to both.
Wal-Mart is the no-brainer choice for me.
yes!
the palin administration.
Target - yuppie white trash... Wal Mart - poor white trash...
Shop local “Mom & Pop” stores when possible first.
One thing that stood out to me when I went to a WM a couple of weeks ago is the low inventory.
I remember the same store used to have stuff overflowing into the aisles so that two carts could barely pass each other. Now, it’s like a six lane freeway. The shelves are much emptier too and very little selection.
I did come away with a box of ammo though (one of three boxes on the shelf).
I try not to shop at Target but I haven’t shopped at Walmart since they decided that Fox news was too controversial to run their ads.
Wonder when the business “experts” will admit that conservatives are not participating in BO’s phony economic recovery? Taxpayers are forced to pay their taxes or go to jail, but the federal government cannot force them to go to the mall.
WMT peaked a year ago at approx $62, it's now at $51.13.
Prior to that peak WMT was mid 40s to low 50s for a long, long time. It now stands at $51.13.
They are making comparisions to Aug. 25th 2008, when it had jumped in a matter of a few weeks from $52 to $62. It's natural place for the past 3-5 years has been in the $45-$50 range.
I like them both but I do more shopping at Walmart. However, Target has some excellent frozen pizzas that I get sometimes. They’re hand made in Italy with an ingredients list that’s about five items long. They are top notch. The brand is Archer Farms, which is one of Target’s generics. I learned about them on one of the foodie forums.
in our area, the target store was asked to donate money or items for care packages to the soldiers in iraq and afganistan. they refused. they did however donate generously to a gay/lesbian organization. walmart supported the troops. contest over.
Wal Marts strategy has been to emulate Target, There new CEO Of Merchandising is from Target, Their new Logo, looks a lot like Targets Bullseye. The commercials for the 2 chains are nearly identical.
They are bringing in more private label, securing the lowest price point for their Great Value Brand and raising the prices on the other regional and national brands.
They have eliminated 25% of their selection, to make room for private label and to allocate more space for their largest moving items.
When was the last time you heard “Low Prices, Always”. That was what made Wal Mart great. That is what is ingrained in peoples consciousness.
I fear that Wal Mart is turning their backs on their core customer, the NASCAR Moms and Dads in Red State America in an ill fated attempt to lure in the Target customer, who is predominantly a blue state resident in the blue counties around major cities, the very people who have mocked Wal Mart customers for years.
Some People in Bentonville have said Sam Walton has to be spinning in his grave over all these changes.
Lots of Big Changes in the Wal Mart landscape, I hope it works out for them.
We now do more shopping at WalMart than Target. It also helps that WalMart has a grocery center.
I’ll be darn if I will walk in the door of a Walmart after they have kissed Obummer’s behind like they have.
I refuse to support such a company who treats people in such a manner. Yeah Yeah Yeah I’ve heard if you don’t like working for a company leave....anyone with that attitude...go ahead leave your job... go ahead leave... ..
Even though, I dislike Unions immensely, something has to be done about the way in which WalMart treats their employees. FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN....STOP MAKING this bunch at WALMART RICHER.
And a bit of wisdom as told to me... There is NOTHING more American than going and shopping at the MOM AND POP Businesses.
I go out to dinner, or to the theatre, or to a ballgame. Shopping is not a social event. If it is, you've got issues.
"You know you're going to get a good value, and you're going to walk out with something a little classier than [at] Wal-Mart."
Rice Chex is a dollar a box less at Wal*Mart than at Target. Our family eats 3 boxes every 2 weeks. That 3 dollar savings pays for the box of Corn Chex to go with it.
Trust me when I tell you that the Rice & Corn Chex at Target are just as "classy" as the stuff at Wal*Mart.
I do shop at Target, but mostly clearance and deep sales. I will not spend more there than elsewhere.
Money is a commodity, just like everything else, and I don't waste it so that I can somehow feel good about shopping and buying stuff.
I shop both, but prefer Target. There are a couple of Walmarts here, one a newer Super WalMart, but the new Super Target is nicer, better prices and more sales on the things I usually buy. Sorry, Walmart...
I go to both depending on who has cheaper products that my family want. Green tea and raspberry tea are cheaper at walmart. Target offers coupons every week on their website that you can combine with manufacturers coupons. Whoever is cheaper is going to get my business! I do the majority of my shopping at other grocery stores though since I keep up with sales.
I’d love shopping at Target, as I believe it’s the better store. The only thing that makes me not like it much is it’s full of liberals(almost as bad as a chain book store), and they don’t sell firearms.
