does Walmart stock their foodshelves with older food than other stores. I often wondered about that when buying there. And I wonder about Target also. I thought maybe they get their stuff cheaper because its dated and therefore can sell cheaper.

Some of their products might be, and definitely are, of lower quality, especially when it comes to the private brands. These are meant to be cheap and the quality and contents reflect it... thats the same all over the world.
Not speaking about Walmart in particular, but some house brands are lower quality and some are really good and others are somewhere in between. You have to figure out which house brands are good for which products. Many items sold as house brands were actually manufactured by the big label companies, just with a different label.
The main reason private label products are cheaper? No advertising costs. Lots of money spent on advertising Cheerios, none for Trader Joe's version...and Himself preferred TJ's version. Same with Rice Crispies vs Aldi Crisped Rice - we both prefer Aldi's.
Shout out to Aldi and their products. I first started shopping there in the mid-1980's for my Ohio Girl Scout troop. Hungry girls camping will eat anything! For the family, though, I got mostly milk and eggs. Aldi wasn't in New England until about twenty years later, after we had lived here five years. I could not believe the enormous improvement in the quality and flavor of their grocery products. It does take some adjustments to the difference between them and a regular U.S. grocery store, but I like saving money.
