These stores probably won't be on the island that I move to.

Probably at Target because they carry a few items I cannot find in BJ's Club. I do not shop at Walmart because I do not approve of their business practices.

Add to this that they have no storage space and often don't have the sale items in inventory.
I would rather shop where I can buy quality, where they have the product in inventory and where american made is found in quantity.
I wonder where you DO shop?
It can't be Target, their goods are just about the same as Walmart.
ditto Kmart
Ditto Sears
Ditto Costco
Ditto Shopko
Ditto Albertson's (for groceries)
Ditto Tractor Supply
Ditto Big R
Ditto Harbor Freight
Ditto the local "Native American" souvenir store.
so, just WHERE do you shop that the majority of the goods are NOT made in India, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, Viet Nam, or the Philipines?

The closest large store to my home is Walmart. Yes, I would continue to shop there if I suddenly became rich.

My comment is probably not likely. I would have minions to do the shopping.

Millionaires don't need toilet paper, ice-cream, light bulbs, laundry detergent, pens and pencils or a gallon of milk? Maybe if I won the lottery I wouldn't shop at Target or Walmart... but my personal assistant would.

Yes. That would aid in wealth retention. There are good quality items to be found there. Why pay more?

Target, yes - Walmart, NO. (I have not shopped there in at least three years and never will again.)

With that much money, you can hire someone to shop there for you.
