I think you missed the point. Walmart absolutely has negotiated deals in the past for products that appear to be the same but are not. Levi's jeans is one example. They tried to do the same thing with Snapper, as I recall, but were rebuffed.
If that's okay with you, great, you are matching the price of the product with the quality. But as a result of them doing it and not being completely transparent about it, I question what other products they've done the same thing with.
