Walmart or Walgreens
Hi,
On our first night ive planned that we have a McDonalds and then a bit of casual shopping for snacks etc. Original plan was to just pop across the road to Walgreens opposite Rosen Pointe after having McDonalds from further up the road. Never been to Walmart as i didnt think there was one close by but just googled and saw there is one on Turkey Lake Road with a McDonalds right next to it. Which should i do, Walmart or Walgreens? |

It depends what you want in the terms of snacks. Walgreen is more of a pharmacy so snacks will be limited.

As said, depends what you want & what variety of choice you want.
Think of them this way; Walgreens is on the scale of a large UK corner shop to grab the essentials vs Walmart which is on the scale of a Tesco Extra x 5 to get food, clothes, furniture, electricals, a canoe, a fishing rod, pool toys, a tent, a dog bed, a BBQ etc! Edited at 11:03 PM. |

Thanks, just to clarify, I have been to the Walgreens mentioned so I know what that's like but having never been to a Walmart I wondered if it was recommended for a browse around American snacks. I'll be looking for things to bring home that we cant get over here.

My opinion is Walgreen on your first evening if you just want a few bits for the next day. If you plan to stock up for the whole holiday or a few days, Walmart has a vast range and will be much cheaper than Walgreen.
Personally I’d do Walgreen the first evening as I would be too tired for Walmart. I do Walmart the next day. |

As said Walgreens has far less choice and Walmart is cheaper but for your first evening I would just get a small amount of snacks and stock up later in Walmart.

Skip Walgreens and go to Walmart - Walgreens is primarily a drug store, Walmart is a supermarket , the one on turkey lake road would take bout 5/10 mins from the Rosen inn at pointe to get there by Uber it would be less than $10 each way

You are right about that Walgreens that used to be our go to Walgreens for snacks etc quickly as they have loads of stuff there .. including a very good alcohol range 😀
I would attack Walmart the next day for stuff to take home as that’s an adventure in Itself and as you say you will be tired . |

We got here on Monday and are at the Enclave. We are only here for the week. We went to a small corner shop and picked up the bare minimum and then went to Walmart yesterday. I felt that if we went on our first night of arrival we would not have shopped productively. Plus we got ther nice and early yesterday and literally had the store to ourselves lol 😊
