I’m not going to spend too much time on this b/c I don’t have the time… I’m angry at the Kroger nearest to me. They are tearing it all up right now, ripped the Starbuck’s out and the Bank of America branch there about made me cry today. So now there is bad memories there. Walmart is NOT AN OPTION. The one by me smells like vomit and never has anything I’m looking for. The Publix near me is really cute and it’s great for those quick trips for just a few things or specialty items. But the carts are not big enough for me when I need to really buy some FOOD. So…my favorite - it’s our Super Target near me… It’s the one stop shop! I can get my Tall Decaf with cream and 2 Splenda and pick up a birthday present, stationary, socks and a cart full of groceries… I LOVE the Target brand groceries and they have a great Organic selection… AND - no one is EVER in there when I am, I never have to wait in line. So here’s the deal though…I feel this guilt the whole time I’m in there that I should be at Walmart or Kroger getting their rock bottom prices - is it true? I know there is the whole grocery game and coupon stuff - but you guys - my world can’t contain it - I’m just telling you….I don’t have the capacity to do it - I can barely get bills paid on time and keep everyone fed! So - I don’t mind collecting a few coupons from Target here and there to save a $, but I can’t stock pile and do that whole thing…and it’s okay to say, I’m just not willing… I need EASY - and the truth is, we’ve lived on the road half our lives and we just are NOT normal…as much as we wish we could say that we’re normal - we’re freaks… SO - would someone give me the scoop on Target prices? How much am I really losing to just go where I want to go to shop?? Can’t wait to read what you all have to say! Thanks for helping a mother out…
I notice nobody has commented on this yet so I will give it a go….
One block to the left of my house is a Target (not a super Target, just a regular Target). One block to the right of my house is the smallest Super Wal-Mart in the world (it was given this prestigious title in November when it opened and with the rate at which Wal-Mart is expanding their influence throughout the globe I would not be surprised if a smaller super walmart has emerged)…ANYWAY……About the grocery shopping…..
I find myself attacking 4 different stores to do my weekly shopping. Wal-Mart does have killer deals on produce, dairy and my favorite cereal (Kelloggs Fruit & Yogurt, YUM). However, I find that Target, though they don’t have a large grocery selection as a Super Target does, still has great deals. Plus Target is cleaner, less crowded and has so many fun items I want to buy!
I hate grocery shopping. It’s the very last thing I do at the end of the week when my fridge is empty and the cupboards are bare. Simply put, the grocery store is NOT my happy place!
When it comes to convenience, the super stores have it! If I can find everything I am looking for in one location, i.e. makeup, deodorant, CD’s and groceries. That store definitely has my business. Why? Because I don’t like shopping and the less I have to do the better.
I love Target. I prefer Target over WalMart any day.
As far as saving money is concerned. Wal-Mart does have the better prices on some items but not all. You may spend a few more $$ at Target but I don’t think it’s enough to worry yourself over.
Here’s something else to think about too. Wal Mart is owned by a Christian family. Every store they open is dedicated to God through prayer at the grand opening. Wal Mart will not sell any video, music, games etc that have a parental warning label on them. In fact, if an artist records a CD that is rated inappropriate they require that artist to produce an edited version to sell at the store otherwise they will not carry the CD. I think that’s very honorable.
So there you go. That’s my take on the subject.
Much love and blessings!
P.S. The new CD is fantastic! I am always blessed by the music you and your husband produce. Thank you!
Christy,
i too, do not like Wal-Mart. The one on this town smells too, and you walk in feeling dirty…YUCK>
We have two targets in this town, and they are both next to Cub groceries, so I have to go to two places. However,
when i have gone to super targets, I have compared prices. The food at target really is not worse than wal-mart, and usually the cheaper or comparible with a large grocer chain.
it sounds like you have a great target near you! Mine always have lines and not enough cashiers.! Hope you are loving Georgia-iI was there last summer and go tthe GA state flower tatooed on my ankle, in a ‘rememberance’ of my favorite brother, Chuck, who has lived there for ten years, and I NEVER get to see him.
Blessings!
