Meijer

I came here to pick up my prescriptions. One of my maintenance meds is free here. So I thought I’d go ahead and do some grocery shopping. Big mistake. I normally go to Walmart for groceries. Not only did Meijer not have as big a selection on most items but nearly all the items I could find were way more expensive. Case in point: A six pack of A&W root beer at Meijer was $ 4.00 on sale. At Walmart the same six pack is $ 2.50 regular price. Walmart has two or three varieties of pork rinds. Meijer had none. They said they normally carry one brand but it was out of stock. And everything that wasn’t on sale was at least a few cents higher than at Walmart. I don’t really like Walmart as a company. But I’ll never shop at Meijer again. Can’t afford it.

Hey Meijer. Just a heads up, there’s a new game in town, it’s called Walmart. My suggestion would be… no one goes on break until EVERYONE in line is checked out. The two or three ladies checking your early birders out, is no where near enough. And to watch your 5 – 6 other employees walking around, zombie like until their time to work, is really not good business. I love Meijer, love their grocery dept. especially, it can’t compare to the others, however, unless management steps up its game, it’s going to be a losing battle — every time.

Good variety and prices, I find it easy to navigate and find what I need. Big fan of the self scanner. I’ve found everyone pleasant and helpful when I have needed help.

In the turf war over the disposable income of Central Indiana residents, Meijer fights the good fight against retail superstore titans, Walmart and Target. However, whenever I’m in Indianapolis, I find myself going the Greenwood Meijer Superstore to pick up groceries or the tube of toothpaste or bottle of shampoo that I may have forgotten to pack. Meijer, for the most part, has pretty much the same type of superstore operation as Walmart and Target with, perhaps, a step up in the quality of its items sold over Walmart and on par with Target. Meijer’s selection is good, they generally have what I’m looking for in stock, and the prices are competitive. That said, this time around, Meijer offered exceptionally good deals on liquor. I found a bottle of Basil Hayden and a bottle of Drambuie for $ 30 a piece, which beat the prices found in other Indy-​area liquor stores by $ 6 – 10 per bottle and by at least that amount from DC-​area prices where I live. Meijer had plenty of checkout lines open on my multiple visits as well as plenty of properly working self-​checkout stations. I only had to wait an excessive amount of time to check out after mistakenly getting in line behind an extreme couponer. Oh yeah, they do accept coupons. We don’t have a Meijer in Northern Virginia, but I wish we did.

Been here a million times. It is not as good as it was when it first opened. I remember the toy section always had everything on display. Prices are decent and a lot of selection.

This is my go-​to grocery store. Meijer has pretty reasonable prices and tends to run really good deals. 10 for $ 10 and the 11^th item is free is one of my favorite deals they run and I stock up when they do.
The meat selection is pretty good, though the whole meat area does tend to smell like seafood. The bakery selection is decent, as is the produce. I wish the health and beauty stuff wasn’t on the complete opposite side of the store, but I know they do it to force you to walk through the whole store. I do like that the frozen food section is near the front, instead of at the back of the store like most places, but I wish they would move the dairy selection up front too, that way you could work from the back of the store toward the front without having anything get warm. The beer and liquor selection is pretty good for a grocery store and I can typically find seasonal brews here without a problem from regional and national breweries.
Really ripe produce is marked down and left on a rack by the bagged salad area. Day old bakery items are marked down and left on a rack back in the back of the store by the milk coolers, which I find a little odd. But I have been able to score some pretty good deals in the past on perfectly good bread.
The clothing selection here is ‘eh’. I’ve purchased a few things here in the past and the shoe selection always appears to be picked over and there’s usually only a handful of sizes available. The kids shoes are the worst when it comes to sizes. I’ve bought my 7 year old daughter shirts here in the past but they are cheaply made, they become un-​hemmed, loose buttons, or the seams separate after just a few washings. Women’s clothing seems to be a little better quality but seems kind of pricey for what it is. They have a decent selection of purses and accessories though.
The garden section is usually well stocked and their indoor plants are as well.
The staff isn’t overly friendly, but not outright rude. This is where I do the bulk of my grocery shopping and I’m pretty satisfied as a customer.

Since moving to Indy (from Boston, MA) Meijer has become my favorite store to get groceries.
They are reasonably priced, and have great sales. The staff is helpful and friendly, the store is pretty clean and they have pretty much anything you need for your cooking needs.
So far this is the only store out here that I found who carries the B&M brand baked beans (the best!) that I always bought back home. They also have a decent International isle, you might not find all your international food needs, but it’s a nice selection for a store that doesn’t specialize in that stuff and better than what I’ve seen at Kroger, Walmart or Marsh.

Meijer practically has everything. I shop here more often than Wal-​mart. There are a lot of stores to choose from: Target, Marsh, Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Wal-​mart, O’Malia’s, etc. But I probably shop here the most often because they have everything you need and the location is nice. It’s hard to go to Meijer without seeing someone you know, though. So you end up talking with someone for a while when you should be shopping.
Their bakery is okay. They somewhat recently revamped the whole store. The location of some things is strange, but there is a logic to it. You might just have to get used to it.
They have a small electronics section, and not very many items. Help is limited. The help that I’ve had has been two not so knowledgeable middle-​aged women.
Groceries are good quality overall. Produce is good. Meat is good. Milk prices are typically good.
They don’t have a card to use like Kroger or Marsh or Sam’s Club. Their prices are typically good, and they usually have a lot of sales and deals going on. They are well staffed and if you need something, generally they’ll find if for you.
They are open 24 hours, which is a big plus.
