I am aware that Target is a little more expensive, but that extra dollar an item is worth it! I have a few reasons why I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart and decided to dedicate myself to Target as much as I possibly could! Not to shame Wal-Mart, but Target has definitely been stepping up their game!

1. The People

When I go to Target, I am at least wearing something decent, along with everyone else! No rolls hanging out of shirts, no one smells like B.O, and no crazy-acting people! Every child is contained and every person is calm, there is no one screaming or yelling at their kids.

2. The Products

Yes, Target is a little more expensive, but I feel they have better products! They do not carry t-shirts with "Winnie the Pooh" characters on them and the designs don't make you look like an awkward third grader when you’re actually 25. Target just seems more modern.

3.The Carts

I have never gotten a cart that has some sticky unknown substance on it that not even a Clorox wipe could remove. Also, there is no left over trash in the cart that I have to clean up! All the carts roll perfectly, I never get a loud cart! The best part is people actually say, “Excuse me!” People actually know how to drive the carts and be polite.

4. The Bathrooms

The bathrooms are so clean and always have toilet paper! No more being caught without toilet paper or hand towels!

5. Starbucks!

Every girl's dream is yummy Starbucks coffee as we shop! Also, they have popcorn and ICEEs for kids to snack on and keep them busy from running around like crazy.

6. Cleaner enviroment

Every time I walk into Wal-Mart, there is always a Lunchable in the panty section or Playdough in the cooler with the ice cream. Not to mention dust bunnies, everything is mixed on the shelves, and most of the time, there is a dirty Band-Aid lying around.

7. The Staff

The staff at Target is the nicest I have ever met! They are happy and always willing to help! There is no need to roam the store looking for someone to help, there is always someone around.

8. Checkout Lanes

When it is time to check out at Wal-Mart, there are no lanes open! The self-checkout is always down for maintenance, so I am stuck waiting in a long line. Not at Target! There are always multiple lanes open, and checkout is always speedy!

9. Cartwheel App

Target has an app that will save you up to 50 percent off! This app actually works and has coupons for tons of items with new coupons every day. Way better than going through a newspaper ad and having to price match and clip coupons.

10. Parking

For some reason, the parking lots at Target seem easier, cleaner, and no runaway carts bump into cars! The parking lots are well lit and I feel safe. I also feel confident that I won’t have a ding on my car when I come out of the store.
