Meijer

There are 3 types of people in this world. And, it’s never to early to start someone out right.
So, Kridz is making dinner for her family tonight, so she needed things, like chicken, and spinach, and walnuts, and cranberries, and salad dressing, and gorgonzola, and bacon, and dry salad dressing, and a tube of the bread stuff from Pillsbury. I on the other hand, needed diet mountain dew. While walking around the store, I also discovered that I NEED habanero string cheese (such a mythical creature exists and stories of it have been told of old), and chicken nuggets, and chicken tenders. Did you know if you rearrange the sounds in ha-​ban-​er-​o, you can get burn-​yer-​a-​ho.
Whilst walking around the vast grocery selection and running into Marv, and the colonel, I saw a mother raising her child right.
Sometimes, the message gets diluted, sometimes it’s clear as day, sometimes the method of delivery is the thing that’s going to cause rebellion in the future. This was probably going to be the latter, except it won’t kick in until she’s a teen and she’s going to need lots of therapy to discover exactly why she likes what she does.
«PUT THAT BACK; I DIDN’T POINT AT THAT; YOU SAW WHAT I POINTED AT; WE DON’T EAT THAT S#1T IN OUR HOUSE; PUT THAT BACK RIGHT NOW»
Little girl puts down the Miracle Whip and grabs the Mayo jar right next to it. That’s good parenting.
So, the 3 type of people in the world are:
1. Mayo eaters
2. The weird people who eat miracle whip (I don’t understand them, but who am I to judge)
3. Chet

Love when they have rambutan however when they have it, it is no longer that beautiful red color that it is when it’s good and fresh, it’s very dark almost a maroon brown, which means it’s near rotting, however I’m able to get it fresh at another place in town on certain days :). Good store, generally busy most of the time with a lot of college students, employee friendliness is ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ half are kind the other half seem like they don’t want to be there. They do have a great selection of products, little bit of this and that :) if I can’t find it at Walmart of schnucks I can here :)

Very busy today! Just driving through and bought some apples. Very friendly workers and clean store. They didn’t have my favorite golden delicious apples but oh well lol

Employees are generally rude and unhelpful. I shop here only because they have the best produce in town. I shop here every week and Mike and Norma B who are greeters and an Asian lady in the deli whose name I do not know are the only friendly, helpful people.

It’s meijer…

This past Thanksgiving break I was thinking to myself I wish grocery stores had Black Friday discounts. Next I walk into Myers and what why find, some staple items have been discounted for the day!

Why do I come here? They NEVER have any lanes open. Their clerks are so SLOW it’s insane. You’d think that from 5 – 6 pm when people stop After work they’d have more than 3 people checking! On this particular day there were two people in front of me with average amount of stuff and it took 30 minutes to get through the line! Ridiculous.

Store review:
Although Champaign is not a food oasis, I am realizing very quickly that your produce options are very limited compared to near the chicago-​land area with the tony’s finer food and marianos. A lot of the other stores are quite expensive including the local county market. Meijer on the plus side is a corporate chain which offers you national savings from the weekly ad. The food is cheaper than most locations because they buy in bulk. I recently hosted a party and got all my produce from meijer at the last minute. Staff is friendly and the store is massive with large inventory.
Pros: good discounts, large selection
Cons: only one location
Hidden deals:
Sign up online for mperks for online coupons. You can earn meijer bucks with prescription refills as well. Free antibiotic and prenatal vitamin program.

Stopped in today while traveling for a few things; produce was pretty low in the late afternoon. I self checked out, so no idea how slow lines can be here. The restrooms need some serious remodeling…

Walmart Rantoul, Walmart Champaign, and Target Champaign eat your heart out!
This store beats you all in pricing, products, and general aestetics! Plus, they even have a nail place inside if I wanted a pedicure (which I didn’t today). I will be coming here if I need 2% Greek Yogurt for sure… since Paxton doesn’t like to carry that stuff… booo! Need a toy? How about some shoes? What about produce? Meijer Champaign has it!

A very large establishment for all items for your daily needs: groceries, toiletries, home goods, electronics, etc. When we visit we take our student to stock up on food and such. This one stop shop is convenient. Although there are a lot of check out counters there never seem to be many open resulting in long lines.
