No Meijers down here...so Walmart by default.
Meijer & WalMart compete for 2 different target markets. Yes, there is some overlap. However, the demographics of the guy walking through the door at Meijer is, on average, quite different from the guy entering WalMart. Asking "which do you prefer?" is a bit nonsensical. It would be like asking "do you buy a Buick or a Kia?" It all depends on social status, disposable income, etc. Many Meijer shoppers wouldn't be caught dead in a WalMart. Many WalMart shoppers would consider the prices at Meijer excessive, despite the better quality. I honestly can't enter a WalMart at any time of day other than about 9-11 am. It's the only time that I can go there that I don't feel as though I must rush home to shower.
Limiting the conversation to ammo, I wouldn't buy it at either store. There are online sources that are much better.

I'm with your mom. That's pretty much what we do. I used to shop Marsh for meat, but since they got bought out I've stopped shopping there, due to the dropping quality of their meat. It's pretty much a Walmart and Meijer shopping experience these days. Between the two of them I manage to get what I want.I grew up without any grocery stores in my neighborhood. So, when my mother made the drive for groceries, she chose to shop at one store for meat; another one for produce and another for canned goods. This drove my father crazy, but she would not stop.
I talked to my wife about this and she likes the prices at Walmart, but will be getting our produce at Meijer.
