Default spaghetti sauce price differences

I've been wanting Bertolli lately, but Kroger where I normally go charges
$3.29 (at best, $2.69 or $2.99 on sale), but the Wal-Mart grocery sells it
for only $1.98. I guess being non-union and not paying your workers as well
as other grocery stores, does keep prices down. Why don't they have ads
touting that? "We keep unions out-- and wage and benefits down-- so you pay
lower prices!"

I notice the Walmart Neighborhood Grocery (that only sells groceries), does
not have the same prices as the Walmart superstore that has a grocery in it.
And although many things at Walmart are cheaper than Kroger, some things are
the same price. Or even slightly more in rare cases.... I noticed Grandmas
cookies the other day, that are prestamped 99 cents and sold for that price
everywhere else, were only 88 cents at Walmart.
