Target or Wal-Mart

From a story on Yahoo!: "NEW YORK – Shoppers hit the stores Friday to return unwanted gifts and take advantage of drastic price cuts offered by retailers desperate to get rid of old merchandise and boost their less-than-cheery holiday sales. Many retailers opened before 6 a.m., offering 50 percent to 75 percent off on toys, furniture, electronics and clothing. Stores were hoping the discounts would entice shoppers to redeem gift cards and use cash from returning unwanted gifts to buy something new." I did the same except I went to Target. Target had no deals for me. All the prices were about the same or higher. Shame on Target - a very, very bad store. Go to Wal-Mart instead. I think that's where this woman is headed.

Target or Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart seems to be the store of choice for many. Not so much for me. I prefer Target. The reason is simple. Target is not as messy and not as cluttered and not as dirty as Wal-Mart. I'm not saying Wal-Mart is dirty or cluttered or messy. I'm saying it's just got a little bit more of that lived-in look and feel. Of course, one feels more at home at Wal-Mart. At Target, you probably feel like you should not disturb or handle the merchandise too much because the housekeeper might get mad at you. It's like going to a house where a friend has put everything in its place and you have to watch where you step and where you put your glass and all that. That makes one feel uncomfortable. However, the quality at Target is just a tad better, though the prices are higher.
