I was buying our favorite chili at Kroger's for $1.40 a can. It is 79 cents at Walmart. Alouette cheese dip is $5.40 at Kroger, and $3.50 at Walmart.

We do the same thing, choose those products that we use a lot and stock up at WM. With 4 kids, it is a significant savings.

I love both Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. I can't remember the exact prices on some of the stuff right now but your numbers seem close to what I see on other items I buy at Wal-Mart compared to Kroger. One price I think I can remember is on fresh cilantro. Wal-mart price is like 60 cents and Kroger is $1.40. Not only do you get a better price on the cilantro but it is also fresher at Wal-Mart. A few other things I would never buy at Kroger is pepperoni and tea. And if I did I would check the expiration date on it because they price stuff so high it sit on the shelves forever. The problem with Kroger and some other chains is that their normal everyday prices are much higher. You would have to be stupid to continue to buy stuff at the inflated prices some of these chain stores charge.

And I got an 8 oz. block of Extra sharp Cheddar cheese for $1 at Kroger - it was $2.79 at WallyWorld. Plus Kroger, the new Super Kmart and Farmer Jacks (A&P everywhere else in the country) have a much wider selection of hard to find and gourmet items than does Wallmart.
