Wal-Mart sucks IMO. The only thing I buy there is Rotella motor oil, but that's because no other place sells it.

And better selection of merchandise. They don't angle for the absolute cheapest biggest POS they can find. They have good merchandise that is still cheaper than walmart crap.

Honestly, if I need something for the house, say a nice, can opener for the kitchen. I will go to target. Bed bath and beyond is over priced, walmart is crap, target has it.

Ok well that's not exactly true. I may go to meijer first but that's where I do 90% of my grocery and other household stuff shopping. But that's regional.

Why does everyone always have a hard on about hating Walmart?

Wally world sells Magnalite, Target does not.

Wally world pwns the Gumbo cooking world.

That article describes items I wouldn't buy from either place though. I don't buy clothes and groceries at target or walmart. It says Walmart still rules the shit I do buy at those type of stores, light bulbs/trash bags/other crap like that.

I buy clothes from clothing stores and most of my groceries from local markets.

Junk food is about the only food I would think to buy from target or walmart.

Target carries a very awesome selection of Haribo gummi products. Walmart has some pretty sweet prices on ammo. Target clearance items are fucking sweet. Walmart sells cheap scrubs. I like them both.

It isn't like the groceries are any different, dude. Jiffy peanut butter is the same no matter where you buy it. OK, the deli & meat counters are much better at grocery stores, but for everything else, Target or WM are probably cheaper.

Any fresh products are better at local markets. Fruits/veggies. I buy a lot of fresh ingredients when it's my turn to make dinner. So I do my grocery shopping mainly at locals. If I am just running to grab something quick and I need something generic, yeah I will buy peanut butter or similar at those places. I usually stock up when I buy groceries, so I will get 99% of my groceries at a local.

Local market as in a farmer's market? OK, true......

But just a generic Kroger or Winn-Dixie? I don't see how their produce would be any different than Wal-Mart's. You do have Super-Walmarts where you live, right? They should have a complete produce department.

Fuck Walmart.

No, Fuck Walmart's parking lot. I can't even drive through without twitching... I refuse to go in. It isn't shopping that I have an issue with. It's parking and checking out. There's a REASON there is a PeopleOfWalmart site.

I have super walmart close. Their produce is absolute shit. I never see anything worth a damn from there. The Sams Club we have, has decent produce though.

The Food Citys around here usually have the best produce for a chain. A local produce market has better.

Yep. Wal-Mart makes you FEEL lower-class the moment you walk in.
