I don't believe you, but why wouldn't step foot in a wal mart? I don't shop at wal mart, but if they had something I wanted, I would buy it.

my guess is that any liberal that won that much money in the lottery would instantly become a fiscal conservative after they saw how much is taken in taxes.

I don't really shop much at Target or Walmart to begin with. However I wouldn't change and upgrade my current places I go to if that's what you're really after with this question. One of the things I'm really keen on if I ever won the lottery is not showcasing it and that includes not buying some flashy exotic car. I would fulfill a dream of buying a nice colonial house somewhere and fix it up to make it a bed and breakfast inn

I don't shop at Walmart period... never have and never will.
Try to avoid the big box stores period, except when there is no alternative to them.

I don't know many people that shop both at Target AND Walmart. I will not set foot into a Walmart.

We have both right across the street from each other and we shop at both (depending on what we need).

I don't shop at Walmart anyway. They sell cheap crap that isn't worth the effort of trying to squeeze through their narrow aisles.

Ours is big, bright, beautiful, and looks way more like a department store than a typical Walmart.

I'm not sure why having more money would necessarily change where you shop. I mean, do you suddenly have different needs (soap, detergent, antiperspirant) because you have more money? We live in a very affluent part of town, and the Walmart and Target thrive.

Would You Still Continue To Shop At Target And Wal-Mart If You Won $100 Million Dollars In The Lottery ?


I would never darken either of those companies doors.

Difference in lifestyles simply, cause I do mind paying more; I'm not running a charity.

You seem to "guess" at a lot of stuff,but that doesn't make in true in any world other than your own.

Seconded.

Every time I've had the unfortunate experience of going into a Wal Mart it has been a horrible experience. Screaming kids, discarded potato chip bags and soda cans littering the aisles, long checkout lines, complete disarray on most aisles, etc.

Not to mention all the abandoned Wal Marts with new Wal Marts right across the street that I've seen on numerous road trips.

I don't really like going to Target either (Luckily my wife likes it), but at least their stores are clean and organized.

trust me. you know those losers who win the lottery, and end up bankrupt? it's because they don't understand taxes, because they've never had to pay them. they are fiscally conservative. I guess at a lot of stuff, yet I'm always right.
