Should have gone to Walmart instead of Target for Christmas trim.

I went to Target because as I started wrapping yesterday I was short on a few colors for ribbon and bows.  So I reorganized the bows to find out which colors I had in what size and then since I usually get the trimming from Target that’s where I went.  I wasn’t happy and had to settle for a 36 mixed bag only getting the size and color of  what I wanted by a 3 count per bag.  Then with the ribbon I was lucky to find a single roll of the color I wanted.  I bought four.  Then with time to kill I went to Walmart.  Walmart not only had a whole bag of various sizes of the color I wanted but they had single rolls with different widths of the color I wanted.  I was so ticked when I came out of Walmart but then there was no real way of knowing what Walmart had and if I left the things I settled for in Target and Walmart didn’t have anything then I would be back where I started without anything.  I think it’s better to be upset but have everything I need that be upset I just wasted time.

I haven't go to Target or Walmart.  I shop at big lot there I find everything cheap there.

i will give target credit for having unique stuff
and lots of variety as a store overall, but the variety per
department really isn't all that impressive, especially if
you NEED something. i find it much more of a luxury store
where i spend money on cool crap i really don't need :p

walmart is a bit more practical, whether you're talking
price/convenience/whatever.

I don't like Target, and I rarely go there. It seems like the stuff is worse quality than Walmart, but it is more money. Also, they don't have nearly as good a selection as Walmart does.

Personally I would also have purchased at Target.  If I then went to Walmart and found exactly what I needed, then I would have bought it and taken the other back to Target.  I would also have just exchanged it instead of refunding it.  I would have gotten more cards (that I could use next year if I didn't go through them this year), or maybe more ornaments or something.
