Walmart's kosher aisle is not cheap at all in my experience

Don't know about that aisle specifically but many many many of their regular products are kosher. Even if you keep cholov yisrael there's still eggs, produce, rice, basics. Soooo many kosher things. As for the Jewish brands, I don't buy that much stuff but it's expensive everywhere. They had a great price on Kedem grape juice, and packaged baked goods seemed on par with what I saw elsewhere. Face it, Jewish food is expensive and way more so in the country. Every time I shop at a Jewish supermarket there's something on the receipt that shocks me.

But anyway if OU works for you then at least you can go cheap on tomato sauce, pickles, baking staples, potato chips... note I am not including anything in my examples that would need to be pas yisrael or cholov yisrael, even though I buy those things myself.

I'm not out to discourage anyone from the Jewish stores. I just came from one myself, actually (they had good sales plus I wanted a few Jewish items). I'm just answering the question of "cheapest grocery" with my experience.
