View Full Version : Why would you shop at target and not walmart
We spent the day returning and exchanging the Christmas gifts we didn't want, or didn't fit etc.
5 different items at target, I looked At them at walmart later and every single one was at least 10% cheaper. plus they ad match. Milk is always on sale, walmart always matches it. They match everything, even oil prices at autozone etc...
my wife got a new iPad air for Christmas....she got a best buy gift card and wanted to get a new case. We found one that was $60 and another that was $30. She went with the $30 one. Pic bet her lunch eBay or Amazon Wouk have the same case for a minimum of 50% less. She took the bet, I won. Same case $9.99 on eBay free shipping. I wish it wasn't for that gift card, I would never set foot in a best buy.

We shop at both, Sniper.
I've not been to a Best Buy in a long time.
I don't really care for Target myself, too bright in there and I don't like the way the stores are laid out. Wife likes them though.
I don't think I've been in a Best Buy, or any equivalent store since high school.

Pretty much the only thing we get at target that is not some big sale item is some of the clothes. IMO a better quality than wal-mart where it seems to be a race to the bottom.
I also avoid going to wally world after 9am. The creatures start stirring after that. I will not buy food at one for the most part as well. Bought some sausage once to try and after cooking it was half gone. I will shop meat sales at Albertsons but most of my food purchases are at King Soopers. The Safeway here is way to high priced for everyday items.

We avoid wally world period. We try to spend the money more locally when we can, which proves to be hard at best. I find the new walmart blue to be repulsive, the 3 cash registers open with 40 minute waits in each unacceptable, and the people in the store, well hell there is a website just about them. Target is classier, but a little more expensive. Not really digging the stores either. One could be called china mart, and the other Mao Mart. When I see them put forth solid effort to bring back jobs to the US, I'll consider being a regular again.
About the only things I have bought at Target in the last couple of years is socks and underwear. Same brands as Wally World and about 10% more, but the Target at Quincy and Buckley always has my size in stock after I've tried 3 Walmarts and came up with zilch. Wife loves Target for some reason, think it's because of less crowded and slightly less trashy customers.

I'll avoid being all politically correct..... Target caters to middle class white people. Walmart, pretty much everyone else.

All big chain store are like that not just wally world, wally world, home depot, lowes, target,dicks, sportsmans, cabellas. Wally world just draws the the spot light because it is the biggest right now. 90% of goods in this country are from china, sucks big time.

i refuse to go into walmarts. trashy as hell and hardly anyone is ever around to help you find anything. i went to get ammo once and waited 40 minutes and 4 calls for assistance before the guy came, and when he did he didn't even speak a single word to me the entire time. sometimes spending a little more is worth it.
target is much cleaner, the people are much nicer, you can actually find people to help you and their produce isn't already brown. HOWEVER, i get all my fresh groceries at sprouts (surprsingly cheap, i always figured it was expensive but its not on the fresh stuff) so like my veggies, fruits, meats. then i get all my boxed stuff at target. all major retailers support shipping jobs overseas and making things cheaply, but walmart sets the standard and it shows in their stores. its all about making everything as cheaply as possible. no thanks. i have found with the target cartwheel app you can easily save the difference between walmart and target, especially on things like wood furniture and big ticket items where they are often 15-20% of on cartwheel.
if you are all about getting everything as absolutely cheap as you can, then yes, walmart is your best option and it is widely known. i prefer to pay a bit more for a bit better quality and service. so i basically shop around between target and safeway.

I avoid target like the plague. The bulk of company funding goes towards progressive ideology (Walmart is marginally better, but better) but there pricing "deals" are a total rip.
Example; You'll find and an 8 pack of something on special for 9.99 and right next to it is a 4 pack for 3.99 normal price. It's like clockwork and people are so dumb they just pick up the 8 pack and assume is a good deal. place drives me crazy.
I feel dirty coming out of Walmart but I don't go often.
Because they're Clean. Because they're bright and organized and tidy and Clean, and arn't Little Tijuana or Little Somalia.
Best time to visit a Walmart and a Target in my experience is when it's time to buy school supplies for the kids. One is tidy and clean and one resembles what I imagine Haiti to look like.
Walmart for ammo, dogfood and car oil, and that's it.
Also a target red card gives you 5 percent off and you can just make it debit so no credit charges if you are really that worried about a small amount of savings. I would think gun folks would understand low price isn't everything.

I like target because it's less crowded and you save 5% using there red card.

Sprouts has a no firearms allowed sign posted so I won't patronize them.

Wrangler jeans at Target because I am on the large side and I can be assured of finding my size when I need new pants every couple of years. Pet food, paper goods, canned food, basic vehicle maintenance needs and bananas at Walmart. Most food and produce from King Soopers. Also, with the soopers card I get fuel points and I am able to buy gas at a cheaper price than anywhere else.

For my money, Target has many more trashy customers because it has a higher percentage of Obama/Dem voters in its customer base. Contrary to public myth, there's not much difference in the products offered between Target and Walmart; I refuse to go in Target because the owner is heavily pro-Dem.

Isn't target a French owned company? Didn't they also not allow Marines to stand out front for the Toys for Tots drive?

the OWNER or the CEO?
i think its pretty silly to not use a store based on the political leanings of one person (if someone straight up doesn't like the stores thats understandable). if you sat and looked closely at pretty much every massive company some of their board and head honchos are going to have some liberal political beliefs. thats just a given. hell, walmart has been widely publicized as trying to encourage their employees to sign up for welfare and schedule them so they can. there is no perfect large scale retailer, too many things going on to get that. the only place you can find that sort of thing would be a mom and pop store, and those either don't exist or are crazy expensive.

you might want to look into the full story on that one.
Ft Collins Walmart is dark and dirty as hell. Good luck finding any help. Normally 15-20 min process to get ammo: back corner of store, never any staff, never have the keys to the case. Whole store smells of old Subway. Any place but Walmart!!!
my thoughts exactly. i sometimes buy things at safeway that are a decent amount more expensive but its just so much cleaner and nicer. walmart to me represents everything wrong with american retailers and society.

Target Corp. is the old Dayton-Hudson Corp. with a long American history. I believe that you may be thinking of The Salvation Army not being able to have a kettle and bell ringer. Their stance is that they can say "No" to everyone or else have disputes between multiple interests as to why one is chosen over another. "No" is easy.

correct. i worked for target when in school and remember this well. basically they were having every off the wall organization throw a tantrum that they weren't allowed but the salvation army was, so they said no one can and instead donate money directly. for example with the salvation army they gave a 1 million dollar donation to get a new program off the ground. this is why all the crap about being liberal, supporting gays, not supporting veternas etc is so bogus. no matter what such a large company does it pisses off somebody so they try to spread it around and even THAT pisses off some people. its ridiculous to think a company with 1800 stores servicing millions is going to be lock step behind every cause that you are and against every one you are.
I don't shop at either one. They both suck as far as I am concerned.

All you guys that like target so much should really look at who owns that conglomerate of shit. Uber liberal jackwagon Governor of MN , Mark Dayton, aire to the Dayton's companies. He's as liberal anti 2a as they come. He says he no longer has holdings in target corp but that's still a huge part of where his money came from. That fact alone has kept me out of those stores for at least the last 15 years.
i dont shop at either since my wife works for kings, but if i had to choose it would be target. i work for a major Colorado dairy and have had to deal with walmart for years, hate them.

Walmart. Giving money to Target and Costco is giving it to the left. We don't do dat.
For some of us, there is a considerable difference in distance to Walmart/Target. Additionally, they don't exactly duplicate each other. We get our wood floor cleaner/polish at Walmart as Target doesn't carry the preferred one, whereas the bathroom cleaning supplies come from Target as they have the products my wife prefers. I've never purchased edible/food products at either one.
This can happen at any store.
But less likely. The hackers know the elitist folks shop at target and more than likely have a bigger bankroll and a bigger credit limit. Why go after the poor walmart folks when you can get more bang for your buck from the snobs.
Between the 2, I bet Walmart does more cash business.

any time you use a credit or debit card you run the risk of theft. if anyone here has never had a card electronically stolen they are in the minority. its happened to me twice and i am pretty careful about my info. its not big deal, shut it down, they reimburse you, and you get a new card. thats the age we live in. and since when are target people elitist? its not like its freaking whole foods. the prices are a smidge higher than walmart on most products, comparable to safeway on most food items, sometimes a bit cheaper. i hardly consider safeway people elitist.
did you get fired from target or something? you seem to have a serious bone to pick with them simply because they are a bit more expensive, and somehow that makes the people that shop there elitist. so are all people that go to walmart welfare mooching bums that don't shower? again, generalizations probably aren't very wise in regards to companies that service dozens of millions of people.

i am in the same boat, but with safeway and target. safeway is right next door but certain food items are considerably more expensive than target. however, some items they carry and target doesn't. sprouts has better deals than both on fresh goods. so every weekend we shop at all three. theres nothing wrong with that, in fact, its intelligent.

oh really? can you post where all of their profits and donations go to or are you just reciting what some extremist told you? i have seen a list back when i worked for them about four years ago, i wouldn't call it to the left. i would call it to the center, some on the left and some on the right, and more importantly the vast majority of it goes to the individual communities they service, thats their main design.
and have you ever looked where walmart's money goes? perhaps you should.

And you've got quite a bit of butt hurt going towards those not in love with Target soooo....
What a stupid topic to argue over, my monies don't stretch nearly as far as some of the folks on here (judging by the TP, and recent purchase sections), so I shop where I can afford to shop, and if that means the super evil corporation that is Walmart, then so be it.
I'm all for sending my money to business that "more or less" support my ideals, but at the end of the day, food on the table for my family, at a price I can afford is top priority, and Target is not in my top 3 choices.
i don't care if people do or don't, but i worked for them and saw the inside and believe they are a good company. to not shop at them because they are a bit higher in price? thats understandable. the BS about they support the left only, they don't like veterans, they are 100% for gays and lesbians is just ridiculous garbage people heard on the internet and believe. no factual evidence. further, thinking people that shop at target are elitist is laughable. i don't like walmart because the cleaniness and lack of people to answer questions or help you find anything. also the really long wait lines. i don't hate walmart because its more "poor" people or something like that. but i bring up those gross overgeneralizations to show how ridiculous generalizations like that are, especially, as i said, about corporations who are massive and employ and serve a crazy number of people. i think not liking target due to prices and not liking walmart due to cleaniness are factually based arguments that are reasonable. some of the other stuff being thrown around is a bunch of factless crap.
and for the record i didn't start a thread about how crazy people are for shopping at walmart and not target, because i realize everyone has different circumstances and things they like. the OP started the thread so i am simply responding to what i feel is a completely ridiculous stance. there are plenty of reasons to not shop at walmart, just as there are plenty of reasons to not shop at target.

i agree, and some targets are worse than others and have different shoppers. this is what i mean by these companies being too big to have absolute generalizations. the target i interned at in aurora was fairly trashy due to the community around it. the one in broomfield is nice as hell. similarly, the walmart i had near me in aurora was terrible, the one in broomfield is pretty dang nice.

there is a great app called 2nd vote that complies the data and ranks scores based on corporate donations and causes they support. Target is near bottom of the barrel for things I support, Walmart is marginally better.

big difference between supporting the left and simply supporting things you don't agree with. the majority of their money goes to food banks and local schools. maybe you consider those things left. they certainly can't come out and be against same sex marriage, thats a death wish. some of the organizations they support do good things and bad things, thats basically true of the majority of organizations.
for example. "target partnered with a business that supports a cap and trade system". does that mean target openly supports cap and trade? these public traded companies can't do anything right by everyone's eyes. don't donate, people hate you. donate, and people will use it as proof your company believes a certain ideology. i see lots of "they donated to a company who has a guy that knows a guy that was the brother of obama's wife's aunt. thus, they must support obama".

You look around and listen to the people who say they will only shop at target because they won't stoop down to shopping at Walmart. They are all over.

Wal-mart was/is good for 7.5 & 8 bulk shotgun shells for bustin clays or 3Gun matches, especially during the peak of the panic when things were flying off shelves. It was definitely on par with Sportsmans Warehouse for price and availability.
It'd be cool if someone would open a store that ONLY sold made in the U.S.A. Goods. Maybe not quite as large as a Targay or a Wal-Bazzar. I shop everwhere and buy American or at least from countries not out to destroy us. If made in India socks are $6.99 and made in China ones are $2 I buy the Indian ones. Whenever I buy Chinese shit I picture my Great Uncle Allen at the Chosin resevoir in Korea 1950 and the $ I'd be saving doesnt kill me. I'll save it somewhere else.

Haven't been to target in years, I'm not sure how they stay in business. Because some people have this irrational hate of the free-market, especially as manifested in companies like Sam Walton founded (Sams and Wal-Mart). Sure, they have their practices that drive out the Mom and Pops and trap some manufacturers, but they do have good prices as a result. No self-respecting Liberal/Democrat would shop at a Sams/Wal-Mart even though most of their "voters" do.
Sams is one of the largest corporate contributors to the RNC, Costco to the DNC.
Target was about equal for several years but has shifted to more Liberal candidates: Just one excerpt from an ABC article:
At the national level, Target is broadcasting its support for equal marriage rights with a wedding registry ad featuring two smiling men dressed in suits and bow ties holding hands and touching foreheads.“Be Yourself, Together,” is printed in bold red lettering across the center of the advertisement, which encourages couples to build a registry that is “as unique as the two of you.”
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said in a statement that the ad is part of Target’s broader commitment to “diversity and inclusion.”
“At the heart of our company are core values which include Target’s long-standing commitment to create an environment where all of our team members and guests feel welcome, valued and respected,” Snyder said. “We believe our current marketing is consistent with this value.”
The moms that shop at Target are much much hotter than the moms that shop at Wal*Mart hands down.

This.
I shop at both. Target hands down has a hotter selection.
We call Glendale Target, MILF Target.

Tar-Jay was where I bought clothes before I found out that Amazon has all that stuff cheaper. Wal-Mart is where I go when I get a craving to watch fat women of dubious immigration status beating their children.
"Tar-Jay" is where I would go if/when I wanted to gaze at delusional effete Euro-wannabe self-appointed elitists who sneer at the "commoners" and outdated documents like the Bible and Constitution -- not that everyone who shops there fits the description but you have a MUCH higher population of them at Target and Costco than Wal-Mart or Sam's Club. Hell, the fact they pronounce it "Tar-Jay", even semi-laughingly, shows the airs they put on.
My wife prefers Target and I usually go to Walmart because it's closer to the house.
Cost, Convenience, Availability.
I go to Walmart, because it is only 2min drive from my place.
Target is about 6 minutes.
I can shop ammo and food at once.
(auto fluids and lawn stuff, etc).
It is cheaper at Walmart.

I prefer Walmart for a variety of reasons stated above. We do go to Target when it's just convenient, like when we go to Colorado Mills (closest big shopping center to us).
What bugs me about Target is that they don't show the price per ounce, or price per pound like other stores do. If I'm buying something like sugar, I always look a that and buy the cheapest per unit cost.

Dude. Joke comment in a joke thread. Not worth getting fired up over.
(Over which, not worth getting fired up? Up over which, not worth getting fired? Grammar hurts my head.)

Wait a second, I state my opinion that I like to save money and Walmart is cheaper on pretty much everything. You even agreed to that.
You look around and listen to the people who say they will only shop at target because they won't stoop down to shopping at Walmart. They are all over.
Oh and I would never work at target...
everyone has reasons for shopping at one place or another. walmart because its cheap, target because its clean. all valid points. not shopping somewhere because you think some are elitist is the same as someone saying they don't shop at walmart because they are all trailer trash. its a pretty ridiculous statement. as previously stated, the location of a walmart or a target can make all the difference in the shopper make up. to say "i can't believe anyone would shop there" simply because the prices are slightly higher is a bit ridiculous. do you mean to tell me you buy every single thing in life from the absolute cheapest place possible? you NEVER decide to shop somewhere based on convenience, cleaniness, employee helpfulness, quality of goods, etc? just a completely stupid comment. there are times i shop as cheaply as i can, and certain items for sure. then there are times i prefer quality of goods. that isn't just walmart to target and vice versa, that does for all goods.
wow. whos a dick?
just because you take internet posting as being more personal and apparently angry than it was intended to be doesn't mean you need to be a dick.
and no i never said anything about you being an idiot or you not being able to conceal your "piece". fantastic reading comprehension though. my response had nothing to do with you personally. you should probably try to settle down though, that kind of anger isn't good for your health.
I see. After being a snarky assclown, now you're calling me an idiot and unable to conceal my carry piece?
You assume too much. In TX, Sprouts has posted 30.06 signs prohibiting, by law, lawful CHP holders from carry in their stores. They are not passively anti-2A.
Fuck off.

you haven't made one rational statement in the entire thread, and its even your started thread. i at least concede there are reasons to shop at both. i don't blame people for having reasons to shop at one or the other. honestly if i had a walmart closer i would likely go there for a few things. i didn't make the argument people shouldn't shop at walmart, or that all walmart people are garbage, or whatever else. i simply argued the idea that no one should ever shop at target due to "elitists", slightly higher prices, donations to whatever organization, etc is dumb. i still havne't seen you refute that yet.
Isn't this thread from last year and you are still pissed about being an elitist target shopper? Nobody cares anymore and you get too fired up about paying more money at target!
Can an we please close thing thing down
Did someone just wake up from a coma and go into a barrage of heated responses?

Target had a policy when I worked there that if lines backed up to 3 people deep they open more check outlanes. Good luck with that at walmart.
ummm did i start a thread about how everyone should shop at target? no. i don't care where people shop. everyone has their reasons. i have an issue with someone thinking people are crazy for shopping somewhere else because its a little bit more expensive, and i have a much bigger problem with people calling them "elitist" simply because they shop there. it ain't like target is some super high class all organic super market. it is a bit more expensive than walmart but it isn't drastic.
if you don't like push back don't start stupid threads with zero argument provided.

Walmart is smart enough to Cater to lower and upper market.
Walmart as well sells new Gen consoles. They sell midend smart LCD tv, which target lack thereof.
I use to go to Costco for electronics and food. I stop shopping at Costco for those, because there are lack of certain electronics, and food are too much in bulk for my family to eat all of
I go to Costco mainly for pharmaceuticals and food court pizza.
I will probably not renew it, but my wife wants it, because she had a real god experience going to foreign Costco aat a different countries.
