Reposting a list (not complete) of items I buy at Walmart. In most cases the Great Value brand is just as good as name brand.

Note that we keep Cholov Yisroel, Pas Yisroel so I can only get pareve items there and no baked goods.

produce (I check my own lettuce)
pasta
egg noodles (they don't have fine, I get that at kosher stores)
pasta sauce
pizza sauce
tomato sauce
applesauce (jars, small cups, pouches)
canned beans (kidney beans, chickpeas, green beans, corn - we hold that's not a problem for bishul)
ketchup
mustard
barbecue sauce
mayonnaise
salad dressing
peanut butter
jelly
instant mashed potatoes
salt and spices
taco shells
vinegar (white, apple cider)
olive oil
rice (jasmine and sticky)
quinoa
couscous mix
chow mein noodles
frozen fruit (mango, peaches, blueberries, cherries - don't need a hechsher per CRC)
frozen vegetables (green beans, mixed vegetables)
freeze pops
italian ices
popsicles
puff pastry (pepperidge farms)
rhodes dough (good backup for challah, also use for doughnuts)
pizza dough
flour
sugar (white, brown, confectioners)
honey
cocoa
pie filling (cherry, apple, blueberry)
duncan hines cake mixes
frosting
decorating icing
fluff
juice (apple, orange, cranberry-raspberry)
bottled water
snapple
soda
seltzer
tea bags
iced tea mix
coffee
eggs
almond milk
soy milk
margarine (tubs and sticks)
cereal (we do corn and rice only - others we hold need bishul)

oatmeal canisters (quick and old-fashioned)
granola bars (I personally don't eat them but DH holds they're fine)
raisins
craisins
tortilla chips
corn chips
salsa
popcorn kernels
peanuts, cashews, almonds, mixed nuts
fruit roll ups
laffy taffy
airheads
twizzlers
chumus

In most cases I buy the Great Value brand which is cheapest.

paper towels
bounty napkins
straws
ziplock bags
parchment paper (sheets and roll)
foil

I take my grocery list and shop on Walmart site first.
Anything I can't get there, I go to Jewish store for.
Just be sure to check the hechser on the item when it arrives because sometimes on the picture it has but not in real.

Parents Choice is cheaper per diaper but they don't work for my kids. Frequent leaks come with a cost! I get the Huggies basics on Amazon.

I do get the Parents Choice pull ups when they have them.
