yeah... Target is just "not Walmart Walmart." My middle class MIL would never be caught dead in Walmart but loves Target. When I first got with my husband I balked at the idea that his family actually shopped there for groceries. Yeah, love paying a 30% markup just to not be seen at Walmart... /s

In NYC Walmart is pretty much non existent tbf.

I won’t lie I tend to go because CVS with my meds is inside of there. however while I’m there I tended to get eggs and seaweed and a few other small things here and there.

To add: I live pretty much across the street from one so I would definitely when being lazy.
