VERY few things I ever buy from Walmart anymore. I certainly don't get my groceries there. Last thing I bought from them was casual shoes (unfortunately, they are the ONLY place with them near me, and shoes are something you really do need to try on before you purchase) and printer ink.
I've been surprised that Walmart's house brand of groceries is often less of a "science experiment" than similar major name brand items. Which given their (deserved) reputation for being cut-throat on forcing suppliers to cut costs surprised me when I started noticing it. They'd advertise "no corn syrup", they'd use olive oil instead of seed oils for certain things, etc...
This isn't universal by any stretch, and you should be skeptical; but at least where I am Walmart has gotten leaps and bounds better for groceries than it was a few years ago..

The Walmart where I buy printer ink has all the cartridges locked up.
The pajeets working there are insufferable to deal with to get one unlocked.
Half the time, the one manning the counter says "I can't help you, I only sell phones".
Why would you subject your feet to $20 Walmart shoes? Don't cheap out on things that keep you off the ground: shoes, mattresses, chairs, tires, etc.
