slo’s TUESDAY 4/25 poll - Target

[slo]

On average….how often do you shop at Target?



For Me…..Not often, maybe once every 3 months.
Around here, Target has become the place to go for everything. I have nothing against Target - I don’t love it, I don’t hate, it’s just ok. The only time of year I go a few times in one month is at Christmas, outside of that, once every 3 months. I was just there for the first time since December to buy their makeup remover (I really like it) and I probably won’t return until that runs out,

 

[PollyannaMom]

I like Target and would probably go more if it was closer, but as it is, maybe every couple of months.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I go a few times a year. I don't have anything against Target, it is just that Meijer is more convenient for me.

I think the last Target in Canada closed about 8 years ago. They only lasted a few years. I went once or twice, but preferred Wal-Mart. So no loss.

 

[HeatherC]

Walmart girl here, so I would say not very often. I find their stores to be clean and bright for the most part, but much more expensive for the same things I buy at Walmart. The Walmarts near where I live are, luckily, clean and organized. The Suoer Walmart where I do most of my food shopping is also pretty well staffed. The one closest to us, is not so I tend to go there for specific items.

Target is both farther away and more expensive, so I just don’t tend to go there as often.

 

[fly girl]

On average I will go every couple of months.

But it’s so sporadic, one month I’ll go three times, and then I won’t go back for four months.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I voted every couple of months, but I definitely go more often at Christmas or order on their website.

 

[kanerf]

Not too often. I regularly check the sales and if they have something I want at a good price I will go. I have the Target credit card, so an additional 5% off.

Target is the spot around here. There are a few Walmarts around, but they all suck. Target used to be an every other day for us when the kids were young. We would just walk around and get Hot Wheels and a snack

Now, we go maybe 1x a week. I don't find the prices any different than Walmart, and some things are cheaper (I pretty much live in salads, and their veggies are cheaper), etc

We go to Walmart for 2 things...the solid color tee shirts that my husband swears by (they have his 3XLT), and socks. Cuz, size 15s for all 3 of my boys.

 

[Kitty 34]

I haven't been to a Target in years.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I could almost walk to mine and the fact I it does not help ! I try to stick to their drive up service and NOT step a toe in that store - because if I DO for anything - I’m there for hours and so I just don’t !
I try to limit my shopping to once a month or longer and only get Milk etc on as needed basis
I’m expecting two items right now from my Sunday shopping at Target that had to be delivered - the rest was drive up - which was juice / soda / milk - I did my major shopping two weeks ago !!

 

[holden]

Target is the place to go around me. Need a t-shirt? Go to Target. Need shampoo? Go to Target. Need a birthday gift (toy) for a kid? Go to Target. Need wrapping paper for said gift? Go to Target.

 

[MamaMermaid]

It's our favorite store - once a week for sure.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I voted for me, once or twice every 6 or 12 months. And I'll lean on the latter, 12 months. And maybe once. On the other hand, Marie goes there probably a half dozen times, maybe mote, a month.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I don't go to Target much-I tend to go to WalMart because their things are usually less expensive, and their plus size clothing is more plentiful and actually in my size. Target's plus size clothes are not as plus as I'd like. I was in the one closest to me in January because I had gotten a gift card for Christmas, and I bought new slippers. They fell apart within a month. So I probably won't be going back.

 

[RedAngie]

I average about once a month over the course of a year. But I might go two or three times in one month and then not again for several months.

It hasn’t been Tar-zjay in years.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I love Target…I shop almost exclusively there for household stuff and even groceries sometimes

 

[BrianL]

I work right across the street from one, and I am always popping in for something or just to kill time on my lunch break. I love Target!

 

[bobbiwoz]

There isn’t one by me. When I lived in Ohio, I would go once every few months, so I can’t say I never went to one.

 

[leebee]

I go once every 2 or 3 months. Just not my favorite store, and things generally cost more than they do at Walmart, and while I don't love Walmart, most everything is cheaper there. We are supporting an extended family while DD and SIL are in grad school so I need to save every penny I can!
