You can do better than Walmart* daily prices if you spend a little time reading weekly ads.
The reason food stores put items on sale in weekly fliers is to get you to buy the expensive complementary goods that you'll need if you buy the marked down item.
For example, a supermarket will deeply discount an already inexpensive brand of hot dogs. If you buy they hot dogs, you'll need the expensive buns to go with them. Next to the buns, the store will put some expensive gourmet brand of mustard on display...
