I do the same thing. But I don't go there very often. I have a Sam's Club nearby...:) Yeah, thanks to the prices and the convenience of everything under the sun being there, it will take a long time to die. I read an article that Walmart was on it's way out, but when I drove by, the parking lot was still full. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on not yelling at your kids there. That is a super human accomplishment! Sigh. I do the same thing. But I don’t go there very often.

It was new and had everything I needed without going to the Target attached to the mall. When we moved to WA there were no Wal-Marts and the Targets were old and dingy as well. So I stuck with Target and still LOVE Target. But, against much opposition, they have built a Super Wal-Mart in Sauk Centre (yes, can you believe it!) where my parents live. My mom even works there. It was wonderful to be able to go and get everything I needed without having to travel to Alex. Plus, they have the brands I was looking for which the smaller grocery stores usually didn't. I think I was there almost every day we were in Sauk last year for something. I have to say though, it definitely depends on the store. At least this one is brand new and clean. That is huge for me.

I refuse to go there unless I can't find what I'm looking for any where else. I hate, hate, hate Wal-mart. I refuse to go there unless I can’t find what I’m looking for any where else.

I avoid Target here because it is attached to the mall which makes it more of a headache. I used to patronize our old Wal-mart more until they supersized it, added a grocery store, etc. and now it is much larger and it seems you have to walk further to find things. I personally prefer Wal-mart products to Target products as a general rule. However, whenever possible I will avoid both of them and go to a smaller store. Neither store is locally owned and both are chain stores so they are comparable that way and you can't stop progress. Love Mom LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!

Unfortunately, I grew up in SW MO and have know the Wally World my entire life. I worked there as a young mom and all my kids are hooked. How sad it is when they go there as entertainment. :) I sometimes go the extra distance to just avoid the crowds, or I go at night.

Wal-Mart is like the Borg from star trek, you will soon be fully assimilated! Resistance is futile! Give it a little more time and they will suck you in!

So I tend to go there because of the distance. I get annoyed almost every time because there are too many people or not enough cashiers- but the prices are good. Glad you were able to get what you wanted and needed! I prefer Target myself…but we don’t have one close to use. wal-mart is close to me (actually 2 are close to me- one in either direction).

We were looking for a large rug to put in front of the back door to catch snow and dirt from puppy feet on her way in . . . I found a 4x6 carpet remnant-type rug for $10! I also found a dog bed the exact size I wanted (lab size) for $20 . . . AND, I found a wall hook with 6 hooks on it for $5 . . . it's a "lovely" fake dark wood with black hooks. Perfect for leashes and coats for cold nighttime potty trips outside here in the snowbelt. None of it is really awesome . . . it's just that I didn't actually think I'd find the things I wanted . . . I was figuring a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond (I LOVE that store!) was in my near future. What did I find that was a surprise?
