We love in a small town and it's one of two options for groceries. We don't have a choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792599 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:36:17 +0000 fairy 1792599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when we travel to visit my husband's family because they live in a rural area and Walmart is all that have! Otherwise, I will only go there if they have something cheaper than everywhere else like synthetic motor oil </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792575 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:30:28 +0000 teamjse 1792575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if its something that Target doesn't carry. I recently went to buy oil drip pans to make a magnetic chalkboard for Lo. That will probably be my only trip there this year. I hate the layouts of Walmarts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792534 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:09:43 +0000 auggiefrog 1792534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, but I like Target better, and it is closer. </p> <p>@Kimberlybee: I agree. I have rarely been to a Walmart that isn't a mess.<br /> Many of the employees there do not seam to care too much about their jobs either, and it shows by how messy the store is, and by how bad their customer service is.<br /> My husband used to work for Walmart for many years, and still has a good friend who works there. I cannot believe how they keep any employees with some of the stories I've heard. But then again his friend has worked there for many years, and doesn't seem to want to make a change, despite the crappy treatment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792512 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:00:51 +0000 Kimberlybee 1792512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I agree, I don't think they are that much cheaper than Target. Target has sales frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792510 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:59:57 +0000 Kimberlybee 1792510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping at Walmart is somewhat stressful. It's always so crowded and the one near me, their baby section is disorganized and never fully stocked. I don't get that same retail therapy happiness experience that I get when I go to Super Target. I will go if necessary since it's open 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792500 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:52:04 +0000 mrskc 1792500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually just do out weekly grocery shopping there. I hate how they put so much crap in the middle of the aisles tho! </p> <p>@.twist.: yep, sums up how I feel about shopping at Walmart. I don't like it, but it's the closest grocery store and it's a lot cheaper than the other grocery store nearby us. Ours has a nice produce section too. I always find locally grown produce there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792495 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:48:02 +0000 immabeetoo 1792495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, don't like their business choices and don't like their store. My dad is an ardent supporter and drags me in but honestly I don't even think they're cheaper than target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1792492 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:46:45 +0000 alohaorchid 1792492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I will drive however far I need to and pay more to not shop there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791725 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:41:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1791725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in a while. I have to be in the mood. For some reason I randomly get our halloween candy there most years because they have a huge selection and those ginormous bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791694 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:36:01 +0000 PinkElephant 1791694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't shop "at" Walmart but I do occasional online orders of toiletries &amp; pharmaceuticals - I feel like their online selection is better than Target. But I much prefer to shop "in person" at Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791633 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:23:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 1791633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost never. It stresses me out and I don't like their business practices. I'll step foot into the garden center maybe twice a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791546 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:09:32 +0000 Alivoo01 1791546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Agreed. Their produce is so much cheaper so we go there to grocery shop. Fortunately, our's isn't too bad unless it's the day before a holiday or something so we get in and out pretty quickly. Self checkout definitely helps speed up the process! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791490 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:00:52 +0000 Boheme 1791490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On rare occasion. I build up a list over several weeks or months before we finally go, and I have to be in a VERY patient mood. The 50 checkout lanes, 200 people waiting to check out, but 2 cashiers on duty situation always pisses me off to no end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791487 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:00:02 +0000 Synchronicity 1791487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times a month. All of our Walmarts are clean and big and have great prices.. I'm wondering if they are a little different in the states? I've never had a problem, other than the long lines when checking out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791463 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:56:42 +0000 namaste 1791463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if I absolutely need to because our Walmarts are always crowded with tourists and it's just a nightmare. I've never gone to Walmart since moving here where I didn't leave with a headache. I miss being able to go after midnight when I needed to but that isn't possible anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791454 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:55:23 +0000 artsyfartsy 1791454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: The produce section in ours is awesome. I think walmart gets their produce locally now and our area is a huge farming town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791444 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:53:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 1791444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do a trip about once every 2 months for toiletries, and always go early morning on Saturday, it's never as busy then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791430 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:51:19 +0000 artsyfartsy 1791430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My husband is a Walmart employee (in logistics) so we get 10% off everything except groceries, but including produce. So it's better for us. </p> <p>Plus it's really our only cost effective grocery store around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791429 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:50:45 +0000 Charm54 1791429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my city doesn't have a target so it's really our only option </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791420 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:49:04 +0000 NovBaby1112 1791420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, only because Target is closer and I buy all our groceries at the supermarket, so no need to really shop at Walmart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791402 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:46:20 +0000 Shutterbug 1791402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I haven't stepped foot in a Walmart in probably... 9 years? I used to go sometimes in college because it was the closest/cheapest, but never since then. I disagree with their business practices, and we have plenty of alternatives around here, so I make a point to avoid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791393 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:44:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 1791393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when I have no other choice... but ugh, it always puts me in such a bad mood. IDK what it is about Wal-Mart, but I always feel so... ugh in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791390 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:44:23 +0000 fussygal 1791390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we go probably once a week. We live in a small, rural town and it's our only option for getting some things. We do our grocery shopping there 50% of the time - usually if we know it's going to be a big $ trip - we really do see a difference in the total. Otherwise we go to our local Safeway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791388 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:43:16 +0000 avivoca 1791388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if I have to. I'm not a fan of their business practices, plus I have two Targets closer to my house than the crappy Walmart. Seriously, it's awful. I also hate how cheap looking the labeling on their Great Value brand is, but that's the advertising side of me talking.</p> <p>However, the Walmart near my parent's house and in my college town are pretty nice, so I'll go there when I am in town since Target is 30 minutes and an hour away, respectively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791384 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:42:52 +0000 loveisstrange 1791384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but grudgingly and only if necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791371 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:37:20 +0000 Mrsjets 1791371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go once a month for toiletries, diapers, cleaning supplies and pick up some canned/boxed food while I'm there. It's just soooo much less expensive and even with 2 kids (wearing baby/toddler in front of cart) it isn't that bad - although I do go at 8 am. Otherwise I shop for groceries once a week at Sobeys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791362 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:35:02 +0000 MsMamaBear 1791362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I coupon and can get things cheaper at CVS, Publix and Target. Plus I hate going in that place, blood pressure goes up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791358 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:34:45 +0000 rachiecakes 1791358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a Walmart nearby and Target is two buildings down from us, so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-walmart-1/page/2#post-1791342 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:29:25 +0000 mrs. bird 1791342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: 3/4 of the stuff i used to buy at target i just order on amazon now! looooooove having everything just show up at my door. except last night the fedex guy left a 40lb bag of cat litter at the bottom of the stairs, which defeats having it delivered if he's not going to carry it up for me! (it's still down there... i'm hoping someone stops by and carries it up the 4 flights for me :D ) </p>
