Quality Over Quantity Shopping is an important part of our everyday lives. Every person, in some way or another, must shop at some point. If you’re anything like me, shopping at just one store is not an option. There are just too many places from which to choose! Three of the leading and most important companies out there today are Walmart, Target, and K-mart. Each company has their own pros and cons.
