Celebrities are surprisingly relatable — at least when it comes to shopping. Case in point: you’re never too famous for a deal.

Whether it means a longer-than-expected trip to Costco (COST) or a cumbersome but necessary stop at Walmart (WMT), if you’re like most American consumers, it’s likely you’ve paid these retail giants (including Target (TGT) a recent visit.

For some celebrities, like Oprah Winfrey, Selena Gomez, and Al Pacino, high-end boutiques and super fancy restaurants don’t always cut it. Sometimes, the perfect solution is a good ol’ fashion grocery run.

GOBankingRates says it “went on an adventure” to discover which celebrities trade the glitz and glamour for the convenience of everyday shopping.

Let’s take a look at the 25 celebrities that have made the iconic Target, Costco, and Walmart run. We’ve included which retailer piqued that celebs interest and why (if the information is available).
