Nebraska highway 2 does something of a NW to SE diagonal and goes through the surprisingly scenic Sand Hill region. However, you won't see a Walmart, but state forests and parks may be an option.
Edit, I see I'm late to the party, you are probably nearly there by now. Hope this helps someone else who reads it however.
I've driven NE highway 2 from Nebraska City to Alliance. Its a good road and MIGHT shave some time, certainly some miles. Nebraska Nat Forest at Halsey is a good stop as it is about a quarter mile off the highway to the campground, it is cheap, has many sites with power, and the best, cleanest restroom/shower building I've ever run into. $11 a night and worth it to take a long hot shower and get a decent break from driving.
Otherwise, yes, go up to Sioux Falls and head west on I-90
