IMO, Walmart sucks because Target has much better quality, similar (or better) prices and more interesting stuff.

I will never buy a $70 shirt again! But more people seem to have discovered Marshalls, and their prices seem to be going up. Marshalls have a sister store too.

Also if you like Marshall's you've got to go to ROSS. There is one near Moorestown Mall beside Michaels and Comp USA. Great deals at Ross.

Re: Walmart Stinks
Ross rocks, as does Bealls (which I think is a FL store, no?)
Good deals. But then again, if you keep your eyes open and shop the sales, you can pick up clothing for next to nothing at Penney's, Gap, Old Navy etc.

I have to make a trip to Walmart every so often and stock up with White Cloud toilet roll. We've tried all the other toilet rolls but White Cloud is the best and only Walmart sells it in this area.

All the clothes my kids are sent for birthdays and Christmas from the UK are streets ahead in style and originality.

as for Wamart..the store up the road is old and trashy so I tend to avoid it..all the others are fair game...I actually do most of my regular food shopping at one of their Nieghbourhood WalMarts (it only sells food) it's one of the closest and cheapest..
