You're not the target market. People who want (require) the absolute lowest prices don't mind. Meanwhile you probably are the "Target" market, which seems to be a slightly more curated container-from-china with more upscale lighting, colors and maintenance.
I think costco is the "gated community" version of these stores, requiring a membership to enter. A price-barrier to entry, or a commitment.
Aldi, Costco, three different local grocery stores depending on what I'm getting and how big a hurry I'm in, and Target if I only need a couple non-food things (that I'd otherwise get at Costco), yeah.
Basically everywhere except Wal Mart.
[EDIT] Hell I even go to Dollar General or Big Lots sometimes (used to go a lot when I had less money, LOL) and even those don't make me feel like my soul is being drained, like Wal Mart does. I actually kinda like them.
