Headed out on a shopping venture to the new
target @ tillicum. What a disappointment. Yes,
they do have staff, now that is a good thing
nowadays BUT no stock. Such a huge store
with so many empty shelves. of course, had
to get a rain check on the item I was there for.
Prices no big deal - can do better almost
anywhere if you watch the sales. So far not
worth the trek across town!!!

Jane Shopper 2nd Impression of Target Canada Comparing to Walmart
What we found out about Jane was that she was expecting Target to have competitive pricing. She did try again.
"walmart cheaper"~3 targetQuery:
“ target : expect more, pay less. So I go to target and everything is cheaper at walmart okay target Canada sucks basically. Yay.”
@target 2nd chance. Redeemed! Ok so the prices aren't great, I think I'll still get kids clothes at walmart. I usually get kids shoes on sale at Shoe Warehouse AND get better prices there. A friend also said a baby carseat she was looking at was $60 cheaper at walmart. But – a convenient place to pick up milk, bread, eggs AND ... So check out Shawnessy target. I've heard the grocery AND toy sections are bigger than Chinook target. MORe info on safer bedding.
