I buy mine from RiteAid and although it's a couple bucks more it's worth it because the RiteAid is sort of around the corner (if you consider 3 miles to be around the corner) where as the closest Walmart is over 22 miles away. I only use it currently to try to add more VG to some of the liquids that I bought heavier in flavor shots and PG so that I could make more out of it for less than buying more of it at the preferred mix ratio. It didn't work out well, even with add shots of flavor the flavoring was too weakened after diluting with VG.

But I'm on my way now with several bottles to starting a whole DIY operation for friends and family. Just got to find the PG and a good source of Nicotine.

In any event both the stuff I buy and the Huemco are USP so you should be good with it.

I'm thinking there are taste issues with different varieties of VG. I have heard some are a little sour- I'm guessing they are the ones made from soy and other vegetables...
I tried VG from three different sources (from 99.7% purity to 99.5% -Humco/Walmart), all had the same taste.

Walmart VG is by Humco, I believe most pharmacies and some vaping suppliers carry it also. It is good VG, 95.5% pure. I use now 99.7% VG

It is a bit cheaper, no taxes, free delivery by Amazon. I do not feel any real difference between these too things.
If you are going to get VG from Amazon they carry Essential Depot (often discussed here as good vaping VG) in a 43 oz container for $12.99 (eligible for prime). That's half the price per ounce. I bought this the last time around. Next time I'm in for a gallon at around $25 shipped, from some sites talked about here.
