When it comes to shopping, and what store to go to it mainly depends on what you are shopping for. Wal-Mart and Target are both among the top three best retail stores in the US. Target and Wal-Mart are both great stores with pros and cons of each. Even though there are many reasons to shop at Walmart, Target is by far more efficient.

    Wal-Mart is a great place to shop for anything you need: food, necessities and anything you could think of. You can find it at Walmart. The Slogan “Save money, Live Better” attracts people by just hearing it. Walmart has championed itself on its low prices for years. Is it really the cheapest of the Big Box discount stores?

Many surveys have been taken by women and they have all said the same. They like shopping at Target for the trendy fashions and such, but they like Wal-Mart for the tiny tools and low prices they can get them for. However, recent studies have come up with some eye opening results. Target’s prices have recently been dropped lower than Wal-Mart. Generally people would think Target is higher priced and has better quality. Now you can go to Target  and get your money’s worth.

Target is a Minnesota based  store, so of course many Minnesotans love it. I, myself, am one of them, but I like Wal-Mart too. Target has a lot of quality and efficiency. In my family, we go to target for clothes, toiletries and other needed stuff. We go to Wal-Mart for groceries and I think that’s how it is with a lot of other families too. Food at Wal-Mart is the best. They have sales all the time, and everything is reasonably priced.

Target and Wal-Mart each have good and bad things about them. They should just make a Tarmart and combine both stores features into one, then everything would be settled, but that won’t happen! So overall, there are many reasons to shop at Wal-Mart and Target, it just depends on what you are shopping for.
