Walmart Super Centers

[My Peanuts]

Their $0.88 dog toys, $.

I buy like 10 of those everytime I go. It's gotten to the point where when ever bags are brought into the house the pups know we have something for them!

Oh, another reason I don't like Super Target - or Target in general - is because of something I heard a few years ago. I have no idea if it's true or not, but since I didn't like the store much to begin with, it was enough to make stay away. I heard they will NOT support any Veterans organizations whatsoever. Their take on it is that they have their "preferred" not-for-profit organizations they donate to and that's ALL they'll donate to - no matter who from the local community comes in. Now, I understand that corporations and businesses are bombarded with solicitations from every Tom, Dick and Harry, but sometimes you have to be able to be flexible and support local organizations and the local community. Like I say, I have no idea if this is true or not.

Oh yea, and just one more reason I don't like Target - I HATE their Super Target commercials! The ones where they talk about the fantastic meals you can make by buying the freshest cheapest ingredients around at Super Target. I don't know what it is....probably the lady's voice that just grinds on me every single time I hear it, and I hear it a LOT at work! Target has managed to build a store or two within the city limits of Chicago. Evidently their corporate policies are either not as well known as Wal-Mart's, or they were able to squeak them past all the city politicians....or....knowing Chicago politics....maybe they knew just the right pockets to line......oops, did I say that?

It's not true. See here.

I don't have a super Target (or a Target of any kind) near me. I like them much more than Walmart though. I shop at Walmart a few times a year, and hate it when I do. Justin and I go to Target every now and again, I like some of there things.

Thanks for the link. Now I know. Somehow I figured it was one of those "urban legends" but like I say, I never really liked Target to begin with and this was just the straw that broke the camels back. Guess the camel can start healing now although that doesn't mean I'm going to rush right out and go on a shopping spree at Target.

I hardly ever shop at Walmart. It's way out near the boonies & I'm
too lazy to drive that far. I did try it once for kitty food because my neighbors told me how cheap it was at Walmart. I couldn't find my cats
favorite brand & they also don't carry the dog food I buy. Most all my
shopping seems to be for food, for myself & the fur kids.
