It's easily found on Google, and it's repeated studies:

Our random collection of items showed that Walmart is about 15% cheaper than Amazon for household items. There were some general consistencies that we found. Walmart was cheaper for small appliances with the exception of the Cuisinart DCC-1200 coffee maker. The best example here is Walmart's price on the KitchenAid mixer, which is $60 cheaper than Amazon's price. For the most part Walmart's prices on small appliances, from dutch ovens to slow cookers were cheaper than Amazon.
For smaller items like batteries, tupperware, or Swiffer cloths, the price difference was negligible, but more often in favor of Amazon. Generally speaking, the benefit with Amazon is that you can get more of these types of items in bulk for cheaper, but if you're looking for smaller amounts you're not going to notice that big of a price difference.
For the most part, we'd say that Walmart tends to be cheaper than Amazon.

For that matter, Target offers a price match policy regarding both Walmart and Amazon online pricing.
