Joseph's Market is a wonderful grocery store!

Can we agree Target is the worst option in this poll. It's mostly chips/cookies/soda. Very few produce. Very limited selection. High prices.

No, we don't have to agree with you.

Quality is higher than Wal Mart.

I don't agree with you.

But that's the issue.

Walmart has a niche: selection (of common foods), affordability. Other grocery stores do the quality niche better. Target doesn't really excel in any area.

Also, Target mostly sells packaged foods from well-known brands, which you can find in Walmart and other grocery stores too.

The MILFs are way better in Target than they are in Walmart.

in general, the type/level of clientele in Publix and Target is nothing like Walmart. I hate Walmart for a variety of good historical reasons.

It's not the worst option, or close. They carry a decent selection of produce and fresh meats which I find to be of quality and value. The SuperTargets carry the best selection and do agree the regular format stores are more limited.

I'd rather live near a super Target than a super Walmart, but I'd much rather live near a neighborhood Walmart than a standard Target.
There was a Target next to my house just about and out of millions of stores they closed it back in 2010 when there area went down the tubes. And the Outback went out of bizz also.

What's up with Outback? Seems a few years back they got rid of Angus, got cheaper meats and people tired of paying the high prices for less quality meats.

THANK YOU! Outback has gone so far down-hill, it's unreal. Don't get me wrong, they were never the pinnacle of chain restaurants or anything, but they were usually consistent and good, even though they're not authentic. They were like Olive Garden - authentic? No. Taste good? IMO, yes. But Outback has gone down the dumper hard and fast.
