Grocery Stores cheaper than walmart?

as a huge coupon user and frequent grocery shopper, there are many grocery items that are cheaper at walmart than say at kroger. I say kroger cuz that is who we have here. 15 million bars and one main grocery store, go figure! I do shop a lot at kroger due to the double coupon and the sales. But I do shop frequently at walmart for items that either I don't have coupons for or can get a better deal. We have an aldi's and it has so went down hill lately. Couple of examples of prices:
hamburger helper: Kroger 1.89 (on sale) 2.29 regular
Walmart 1.29 (on sale) 1.69 regular
Pepperridge farm frozen bread Kroger 2 - 2.50 , walmart 1.60.
but then you have figure in coupons. Now in the bread situation I had $1 off so the cost was a lot cheaper at walmart. but if it was .50 would have been closer due to the fact that kroger doubles. This week they have had such a great sale that I have shopped at kroger exclusively. However, I don't like the meat at walmart. I have bought it and it just doesn't compare. I also bought bagels once there and I mean the good ones that are like $3 a bag, got them home and pulled one to find on the bottom it was GROWING! ick. took it back of course. But I can say I haven't found that at kroger. possibly higher turn around. or I just got lucky.

Ditto pretty much everything, except I have a Sharp Shopper instead of an Aldi.
Yesterday I got a ton of stuff at Kroger free or almost free with coupons. I will go to Sharp Shopper today (had to wait for payday) and stock up on whatever they have.
I go to WalMart for better prices on HBA and some other items, or if Kroger doesn't have a good sale because just overall things are cheaper at WM.
Milk is cheaper at Kroger, and I buy my meat and produce there.
I am a coupon fanatic no matter where I go (except SS doesn't take them).

our walmart also does not sell fabric anymore, or ceramic figurines. you know the kind you could buy like for gifts and stuff. Lady at the counter said they were doing away with all that stuff. walmart is not being very smart as they are not the one stop shop anymore! I still do a lot of grocery shopping there as they are cheaper than kroger. But I don't spend the time there I used to.
