Where do you like to do all of your shopping? Where do you think you can find the best deals?

Around here (SE Mich), it's Meijers. The chain is throughout the midwest.

Walmart hands down. I don't like Target. I don't really like Walmart either but they usually have it, and it's cheap.

Walmart but I work there. Unless I don't want to be bothered than Target.

I prefer Target, but you can't avoid a Walmart.

Hy-Vee here in Iowa, only because it's walking distance to my house. Wish Walmart or Target was closer because they are cheaper, but the convenience wins out.

EDIT: If I'm picking one, its Walmart for better selection.

Try to avoid them both but if there's a Target on one side of the street and Walmart on the other, I'm going to Target. I hate going into Walmart and I don't know why.

But hey, I also do my grocery shopping at Food Lion!in that case, wherever the deals are. Target is less convenient to me because it’s near our mall, so I avoid it like the plague. As for Walmart, I have one about 5 minutes from my house and it’s the bougiest one in town, so I usually just go there. But regardless, I am in and out in less than 20 minutes, and I only get the few items that I can’t get anywhere else in town. Don’t want them stealing my soul while i’m in there.

These days I spend more time in Lowe’s, Kohl’s, and Petsmart.

Only place that I don’t dread going is Food Lion. Zero self checkout kiosks, and they actually have employees running all the checkout lanes. At least here they do. I say that’s worth paying a little extra.

Best deals are at WalMart, but if you want to avoid the, ahem, 'WalMart clientele' it's better to go to Target. Also if you value any customer service whatsoever then Target's the right choice. I can handle the price difference, I'm paying the little extra to avoid drama and resentments, but I wish Targets selection was as good as.

It depends. There's some things I can only find at one or another, but yeah, Walmart's consistently the cheapest. But I shop at both way less than I used to.

I shop at two places, Trader Joes for food and Walmart for everything else. I used to shop at Target, because I had heard they treated their employees better and even though Walmart was cheaper, I was willing to pay a premium for that. However, I've found recently that a lot of products that I used to buy were no longer sold at Target but were still sold at Walmart, so I unfortunately switched, since I couldn't justify going to 3 different stores for such a narrow purpose.

My wife and I are addicted to Publix. Not sure if they're up North but are extremely popular down here in the South. You pay a little more but the stores are clean and employees offer the best customer service in the business.

Not up here. Our equivalent is Kroger's. When visiting my daughter down there we use Publix, good store.
