I've never compared the prices of the store brand formula. Since our first child, we've always used Parent's Choice from Walmart. Both children are now off formula and they've developed absolutely fine on parent's Choice. Here they run about $13 per can.

For me, Target formula is about 50 cents cheaper (for the big thing of powder) than Walmart. And they are both made by the same company.

There are about 20 Walmart's within 30 miles of our house and they all have $5.00 15.5 oz cans of Parents Choice. The big can is only 28 oz for $11.88! Most store brands are made by the same company. We only ever buy it at Walmart. Chloe has less spit up on the Parents Choice than she did with Similac.

I've been looking around and found that Krogers has the cheapest Soy formula.  We have to use soy.  If it was milk based then Walmart has the cheapest.

walmarts brand is cheap and it campares almost exactly to emfamil. when i switched to store band i looked for the one that best simulated emfamil brand and parents choice from walmart fits almost to a T. also there is less foaming with the parents choice than with the emfamil. it has all the same exact nutreints and in the same concetration as emfamil also. and it has the DHA and ARA in it as well. i used it with both my daughters and they both did well with it. i didnt have any problems when switching over to it with my oldest either.  my youngest switched over from breast to parents choice very well also.

oh and the koger brand is about the same price and it is the same as the parents choice and emfamil brand too. i actully used both with my youngest when i couldnt get to walmart. when i compared the cans they were the exact same.

I have to use soy as well and all the wal marts in my area carry the parents choice soy. Maybe try another walmart, or their website?

Our walmart carries soy formula.  I'm just saying I found it cheaper at krogers.  Plus I shop at krogers anyways so it works out.
