Target has a lot of outlets within the neighborhood. There are a lot of things available here and you need to buy only when you have deals else it's pretty pricey.

Walmart
Walmart also has a lot of stores and also they have bigger stores called neighborhood markets.
Generally, you will go here for fruits and vegetables, frozen items, and groceries.
And sometimes they run something called rollbacks which will provide super low prices on tech, home, and more.
They also offer Walmart plus which provides a lot of benefits but it's a paid subscription.

Costco
Costco too has a good amount of stores and generally, people go here to buy groceries, fruits and veggies, and frozen food in bulk.
You should have a Costco membership to visit the store or should go with the person who has one. It costs 60$ per year and is worth it if you own a car so you can refill gas at a cheaper price.

I am a Software Developer from Bengaluru currently based in California. I am interested in Web Technologies as it helps to develop ideas faster and help reach a wider audience. Its stress on Accessibility, Performance, and Security has strengthened it more. Although I have around 12 years of overall experience and have a breadth of knowledge in web technologies, I still felt the need to understand the depth and this blog is all about trying to start from primitive concepts and building on top of it. Thereby hoping it helps others who want to go through the same journey.
