Which is better: Wal-Mart, Target, or small businesses?

-Be HONEST:
Which one will be more accepting to your 5 dollar bill?

The small business owner for sure....if you can find one!

it actually depends. Sometimes target can be aweful, and it ends up depending on which target store you go to. Some are better than others. Walmart I would overall say ABSOLUTELY NOT. They say they have lower prices, but they really don't. Yeah, maybe 1 cent off! But that's all! And when it comes to a small business, then it all depends on the business it is and the store itself. Hope I helped! =)

You can't beat Wal Mart's prices (no matter how many controversies about Wal Mart).

It depends completely on what product you are going for.
Electronics - Target
Clothing - Target or small businesses
Food - small businesses (actually we shop at another chain)
Office supplies - small businesses or other chains
Personal items - either
Furniture - Target is going great guns on new lines. Do they have new buyers???

target will be a shure to your money and has greater stuff.

target.....its cleaner

Depends on what you want and need:

Small businesses will be more expensive, but these days, only about 10% or less more. The provide much better service, the product quality is typically better, and they will be there if you need help or returns.

Wal-Mart and Target are known in the industry as "Big Box" Retailers.

Target's approach to differentiation is to provide a better quality of merchandise at a close to lowest price. Most people are very pleased with the quality and the experience. The store is better organized, not as crowded, and feels cleaner, brighter, and better.

Wal-Mart is all about deep discount pricing with a healthy product selection. Quality is not the highest priority. The stores are crowded and cater to people who want one thing: low prices.

For the $5, if it's a "consumable" (something you buy and use up), Wal-Mart or Target are your best bets and the prices will be generally equivelant on all but the items that Wal-Mart uses as "teasers" (really really cheap to get you in while other items are more equivelant to their competitors).

If it's $5 and you want it to be "durable", i.e. to last awhile, I'd recommend staying away from the low quality that is in a Wal-Mart store and use Target if possible, or better, the small business. For long-term durable items, usually the small businesses are best because they know the only way they'll make it is with repeat business and word of mouth so you're likely to do better with them for service if its not a common item that you can find at a Target store.

Hope that helps.

Wally world...unfortunately

wal-mart by a long shot!
