Walmart vs. Target – which one is cheaper?

Have you ever wondered which store was cheaper?  Walmart or Target?

Today I am going to take your through both stores to compare the exact same products, we will see through this in depth look which store really is less expensive!  Keep in mind that prices vary per city, so this is just a general look at the price comparison between both stores.

If you want to see how Aldi compares to Walmart prices, you can see my in depth report on Aldi vs. Walmart here.

I will start with some staples items like eggs, milk, and butter.

Eggs:

Walmart – $1.78 per dozen

Target – $1.49 per dozen (WINNER!)

Target – $2.19 per gallon

After seeing the side by side details here, we can assume that Walmart is less expensive on most items.

But Target had a better deal on toilet paper, paper plates, kitchen bags, and eggs.

As far as shopping goes, I prefer to shop at Target because I think it is cleaner and brighter.

What do you think about this, were you surprised at all?
