Target VS Walmart

So today I went to Walmart. I haven't been there in a VERY long time - over a year, probably over a year and a half.

So of course I notice many differences between the two

  • Target has much better carts. Target's are plastic, heavier, and seem more maneuverable. Walmart has regular cheap metal carts.
  • Target's bathroom is cleaner and brighter. But Walmart wins for having automatic faucets. But the sinks at walmart were hard to use since they were really deep and my pregnant belly had a hard time getting close enough to wash my hands.
  • The layouts are similar, and I bet fine as you get used to them. I am getting annoyed with Target recently for always reorganizing.
  • The quality of items at Target seem better for home goods (towels, decorations, pillows, etc)
  • The baby item area at Target makes more sense and is larger and better organized - Walmart's seem just thrown together.
  • Walmart sells beer and wine!
  • Walmart had a larger selection for their food area, more general things
  • Target Archer Farms food stuff is AWESOME. Target seems to carry more different things. A little more unique variety.
  • Walmart is cheaper for the every day things.
  • Need to compare the generic stuff between the two.
So I think I need to start shopping for general things at Walmart. Every time I got to Target, I so love going to Target, I always end up getting more than what I go in for, just because! Walmart I have a much easier time sticking to my shopping list. But I still need to go to Target for needed items too... And I like how Target is usually more community oriented (they give money to local schools, or do at times of year). And Walmart is Walmart...yeah enough said.

So love Target so much more than Walmart!
