Always love these discussions. November 5, 2005 my husband and I swore off both WalMart and Target (relating to many issues described above and also my anger at Target allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill emergency contraception and birth control prescriptions). It's been an adjustment but I've also ended up saving a ton of money because I've eliminated those impulse Target buys (and I was in the place more than once a week). We find we spend more on some things but since we shop a lot less we come out ahead.

On the other hand, my mother lives in a small town: she doesn't have much choice past WalMart, so she doesn't like it but she shops there.
