It does sound a little high to me...I found that when I started varying where I shop, I saved more. Wal-Mart has good prices on a lot of things, but they don't run great sales like other stores do. I sit down on Sunday and go through all the circulars for the stores I visit (Tops, P & C, Wegman's (local stores), and Aldi's). Whichever store has the most things I need on sale, and the most things I can use a coupon on, that's where I go that week. I used to just go to Wegman's every week, but then it would be hit or miss as far as finding the things I need on sale. I have found that no place, even with sales/coupons, beats Aldi's for certain canned goods and even fresh fruit/veggies, so I go there when I need to stock up.
Also, do you buy in bulk (esp. meat)? I buy the bulk packages, use what I need, and freeze the rest. Just make sure you read the labels to make sure the price is really cheaper per pound - I'm not sure that Wal-Mart prices are better for bulk like other stores are.
