Have not won no huge lotto, but we do pretty good ourself in the money department. I have always been a saver ever since we first married many moons ago, MANY. Still am to this day, people laugh at me, always getting a deal for something, and it works. Why stop.
If I need something quick, I will go wherever for it, I am a comparable shopper believe me. Wal-mart and Target have the same exact items that other Super Markets do, I know, I compare Super Markets, my thing.
In fact one Wal-Mart I go into, are the only store that have spiced ground Italian sausage, it is an Italian thing, no other Markets have the ground sausage, with all these Italian herbs and spices. When I am too busy to make it from scratch, it is a great tasting sausage.
I like to save money, maybe that is why we have Money. Infact I make deals with store managers, not them with me.
Always been my thing to save money, never know when that rainy day will come.
If a store is in a decent nice area, I will shop there, but not something I do everysay. I also go to the farmer Markets here in S.C. but still are better ones out there then this one in town.
Yes most Super Markets all carry the same brands. Some priced reasonable, some outrageous.
I am not shopping to check out the people also shopping, I get in and get out.
Target, yes - Walmart, NO. (I have not shopped there in at least three years and never will again.)
Same I cant shop at Walmart anymore. The people there are almost always rude and trashy, massive lines, store is filthy. I always leave in a weird mood.

Where do you live. The stores that I do go into, are in O.C. I.E. AND the high desert area. They are all super Wal-marts, they are clean, or believe me I would not be in them, I am a clean freakkkkkkk. They are nice with a smile and greet you as you come in. And I can self check myself, they have at least 7 self checks. The people are not rude nor trashy. Isles are wide and always being swept and clean, or believe u me, I would not be in them.
Guess it depends on where u live, to see trashy people, but that goes without saying. You have trashy people in certain counties in every State.
They have never ever been rude to me or anyone else, I have not witnessed this at all. Where do you live what State.
And there is never massive lines, with self checkers.

The one that was the final straw for me was in Sacramento. The two I've been to in san diego ( el cajon, and clairemont) were not as bad but still not equal to a target. I'm not familiar with the oc ones or IE but i'm willing to bet I could find one in the IE that would make your skin crawl haha.
There's a reason that poor people who win lotteries manage to blow $300 million in just a few years and end up with nothing. They assume that rich people only ever shop at "rich people stores." One of the biggest reasons most rich people get rich is because they're tightwads. They spend a lifetime spending as little as possible on absolutely everything. If I won $100 million I'd pay off my house and a handful of other debts. I'd fix a number of things I can't currently afford to fix. But I'd be very very cautious not to blow the wad on frivolous crap.
Wal mart and Target sell stuff that I always like regardless if I'm a millionaire or not like:?
Blue Ray Movies, music, PS4 and XBOX One games, Apple stuff, car cleaning items and soap and lotion and all kinds of personal hygiene supplies and they do also have a pharmacy.
I will also continue shopping at Best Buy.
I wouldn't park a Bentley or a Ferrari in their parking lot, I would want to keep a low profile if I was a millionaire shopping at those places.
but then again, I always have the option of sending the HELP to get those things for me.
I don't go to those stores often but I'd still pop by the Wal-mart Neighborhood Grocery store because it's down the street from me. I'd continue to shop on Amazon and ebay...that's where the best stuff is.
I wouldn't shop period, I'd send someone else to do it. Oh how it must feel, never to have to walk into a store again. Or go out into society again for that matter...

Another resurrection! They also blow $300M because they look at all of that as spendable, when only a percentage of that is truly spendable, unless you in fact plan on deliberately blowing it all in a few years. Probably the standard 4% safe withdrawal rate no longer applies, but unless you plan on blowing it all, the most you can spend is probably 8% or so a year. And yes if I won $100M I would continue to shop at Target and Walmart with my 6% a year spending money.
