and WalMart is not cheaper than King Soopers generally. Cleaning supplies, for example, are pretty much the same price at both places and Target, too. I think their produce looks sketchy, as does Target's. King Soopers has the best produce. King Soopers has better sales and I like their house brands. Of course if WalMart is the only place to shop in town then you are at their mercy.
