A lot like Walmart, a little more up scale I think. I prefer it, but if I need a lot of things, groceries and house hold items I go to Walmart because of price differences.

Ours has some scrapbooking, not much crafts, no yarn and no fabric. But it does have better prices that Walmart, more clerks, lots of food, including frozen, and their brand is not bad. Clothes are better, and a bigger selection especially for children.
This is in Minot ND Some Targets are better than others.

No fabric. Little Crafts. Some scrap-booking. More pleasant shopping experience but higher prices to go with it. Higher quality clothes. No plants.

I get a lot of my clothes there, also things like toys, electronics, vacuum cleaners, houseware stuff...did a lot of Christmas shopping there.

We love Target.. They also run good sales. All our stores around here are really nice..

It and Kohl's are sort of like the old Bradlee's, if you had them.

Our Target stores in this area have very limited groceries, but I gather some stores have a lot more. Good prices. I used to think they were higher than Walmart for health/beauty products, but now I've found some good buys at Target. The stores are seriously better stocked and cleaned and maintained than any Walmart I've ever been in. Even the busiest Target store seems nice an clean and bright.

No crafts things.

Many things at Target are the exact same price as Walmart, but I will pay slightly more to shop at Target. I think the aisles are wider, the people that work there are friendlier and more helpful, and it's much more upscale than Walmart. Sometimes the people shopping at Walmart around here scare me! I never find that at Target.

today i spent $89 at target on toys that had been marked down 75%...

no yarn, no fabric...but watch the in-store markdowns..i buy nearly all my grands clothes there (up to about size 14) they start at 30% and go to 50%...

good selection of paperback books (25% off posted price)

pharmacy..i have the greatest staff at our store..they know me by name. i like the fact you don't have to call in for refill..it's done for you. your script is in a easy to hold bottle and is color-coded...(dh is blue, i'm purple, lol)

Loyalists pronounce it TAR JAY
sounds more sophisticated.

I seldom shop at Target. I haven't found much there that interests me.

I like Target. If you have a t Target credit card they regularly send out coupons for brand name products along with some for their own brand. You can use the Target coupon at the same time you use the manufacturer's coupon for a product. Additionally they take 5% off all purchases using the Target Visa. I find the way I shop I save far more at Target than I do at Costco or Walmart except on food items.

The only thing I don't like is that for some reason Target's carts are often sticky and dirty compared to Walmart's. Maybe because the Walmart I go to most often has a greeter who wipes them down and empties them of the trash people leave behind.

I don't have a Target close by,but the one I have gone to some 15 miles away does not impress me at all.
Their womens clothing lines are laughable.
The aisles are wider I will give them that...but not much else.

Love Target, but it is 45 miles away from me. Houseware Dept. is one of my Fav.

Our Target has some groceries not much,I do like it better than walmart, now were getting one closer yet near walmart see who gets most customers.Were getting a new mall 450 thousand sq.ft and later on another 350 sqft section.So sounds big alot of new stores a bjs.

Speaking of Target, I have the feeling that they cater more to the 20-30 year old crowd. Maybe it's their clothing line, I don't know. At least the ones around where I live seem to. But I do enjoy browsing at Target, they have a great $1 aisle, snack bar and Starbuck's.

I like target because it is cleaner and the products seem to be a little better made. It's also a little bit trendier. Sometimes the prices are a bit higher than Wal-Mart, but it also has better customer service. Both stores sell some Made in China junk that I don't like. I try not to buy that stuff.

I also like Target because it seems to attract a nicer crowd than Wal-Mart. I've yet to see anyone kick, cuss, scream or fight at Target. The parking lots are usually clean. The food section is limited, but they carry a few more upscale products than I can find at Wal-Mart.

I LOVE Target and to compare it with Walmart is like comparing apples and oranges. Target is clean and has comparable prices, a way more upscale crowd and a fun place to shop. I along with the late Elizabeth Edwards go there every week. I remember Obama saying being president, he missed going to Target.

Thank you all for your comments.
When Target comes in I will loose my
source of yarn. Zellers has a good selection
of yarn.

Target has gone through a lot of changes over the years. Currently they're converting most of the stores that did not have groceries to carry them. A couple local sites did price comparisons and I was quite surprised. Target came out the cheapest, and on the survey they did, they said you'd save $1200/yr at Target compared to $800/yr at Walmart for the grocery selections they made and compared at the stores. However after doing some price comparisons of my own, Target has some surprising prices.

But I should point out also that Targets vary on price from store to store. One store can be quite a bit higher priced on certain things than another store just a few miles away. The thing that troubled me was the one in the lower income area had the higher prices than one just a few miles away.

I like to shop Target's clearance endcaps. Some real bargains can be had there. Especially after the big pushes when they discontinue certain sizes. For instance, right now they have a "Great Save" promotion going on with larger sizes of certain staples. When the promo is over in a month or so, the leftover will be put on clearance. You can also use coupons with clearance prices if you have them.

Their grocery selection is limited due to space constraints but they have adequate choices for me. They have multiple store brands. Market Pantry, Archer Farms Up and Up and possibly others.

I'm back to shopping Target a lot. Around here, they're all clean, well-maintained, usually have plenty of staff and the employees seem quite happy for the most part. They go out of their way to help. And if you bring your own bags you get 5â credit for each bag and they don't try to overstuff them like many other places do. And no, they don't have to be Target's reuseable bags either.

I agree with what sleepblues said, especially the cleaner and friendlier parts. You will love it, I bet!
