grocery comparison, round 2

Here we go with another round of grocery comparisons. In this round, a new contender has entered: Walmart.


Although I imagine they may vary quite significantly from time to time, these prices do not reflect any promotions or sales. Values are expressed in US dollars and measured by ounces. Quality, item size, and brand names were not considered in the comparison.
