Meijer or Walmart

[voodoo304]

Meijer in Camby, by a long shot. As soon as I read the news story about Walmart taking out life insurance policies on their sickliest employees to cash in on their death I swore them off for good.
I will NEVER set foot in a Walmart again.

No Meijers down here...so Walmart by default.

This^^

Meijer is Less Ghetto than Walmart. Just sayin

Walmart hands down. Prices blow meijer out of water items across the board. Plus ammo selection/availability (during normal non panic times) is much better.

I refuse to go to Walmart because of what they have done. However Meijer has way better fresh veggies anyway. So Meijer any day if the week.

Walmart ammo. Same stuff, lower price. I'll wait in line to save $18 bucks for 45acp WWB any day.

This video shows how Walmart really supports American jobs. Over 91% of their products come from China. I try to never give them my business.

I buy a lot of the same grocery items weekly, and don't see much of a price difference between Walmart and Meijer. The deli, produce and meat selection at Meijer wins hands down....I will not buy meat from Walmart, period. The difference between the stores is really how they price things IMO. You may have to substitute brands at Meijer for a sale price, where as Walmart is the same price all the time. For ammo alone....it's Wally world

Meijer & WalMart compete for 2 different target markets. Yes, there is some overlap. However, the demographics of the guy walking through the door at Meijer is, on average, quite different from the guy entering WalMart. Asking "which do you prefer?" is a bit nonsensical. It would be like asking "do you buy a Buick or a Kia?" It all depends on social status, disposable income, etc. Many Meijer shoppers wouldn't be caught dead in a WalMart. Many WalMart shoppers would consider the prices at Meijer excessive, despite the better quality. I honestly can't enter a WalMart at any time of day other than about 9-11 am. It's the only time that I can go there that I don't feel as though I must rush home to shower.

Limiting the conversation to ammo, I wouldn't buy it at either store. There are online sources that are much better.

Where do you get WWB for less than 24.99/100 online after you add shipping? Please share! I shop at Walmart because the price is good, the product is good, and it is less than a mile from home. Meijer is six miles and has not had ammo in months. Always sold out.

The smelly customers with 30 items in 20 aisle are at the Coldwater store, not Lima Road locations in the Fort, but I can still get good ammo there.

I usually shop for my groceries at Kroger (always on sale and with coupons) then I use the fuel discount on my 40 gal. diesel. I also get bonus boxtops for our homeschool group. For the stuff I need that Kroger doesn't carry or is overpriced on, I usually shop at Walmart because the Meijer is to far away. We also buy a lot at Sams Club when we head up to Indy. I will shop at the store that has the best price. I just sanitize the cart and avoid the isles with the crazy people (although I have to say smell can linger quite awhile).

Groceries at Walmart/Kroger. Ammo at Walmart.

Everything else? AMAZON.

 

[TB1999]

meijer has a meat department and walmart does not. pretty much all i need to know.

 

[mrjarrell]

I shop at both. Walmart has everyday lower prices on many staples that save me money, but Meijer carries many products I use that Walmart doesn't. So, when doing the weekly shopping we tend to go to Walmart then jump across the road to Meijer to get the last of our stuff. Meijer has a better produce section and we use it.

I'll be interested in trying Meijer after the new on opens in Warsaw...

WTF? All I can say. You think you are any better than the next person because you shop at Meijer? BTW I walk though both doors regularly. Do my DEMOGRAPHICS change when I do?

Meijer. They have Sandy the horse my kids love to ride (and it's only 1¢) Walmart has lousy customer service late at night only 1 register open really sucks. Meijer has all those do it yourself checkouts that DON'T close. Plus their bread is so soft.

FYI: there is nothing on sale Sunday between 12:00am and 6am at Meijer. Last weeks ad ends at midnight and the new one doesn't start until 6 am.

Sometimes when I read things like this, I tend to believe the person is more upwardly mobile in their mind than they really are.

I grew up without any grocery stores in my neighborhood. So, when my mother made the drive for groceries, she chose to shop at one store for meat; another one for produce and another for canned goods. This drove my father crazy, but she would not stop.

I talked to my wife about this and she likes the prices at Walmart, but will be getting our produce at Meijer.

I'm with your mom. That's pretty much what we do. I used to shop Marsh for meat, but since they got bought out I've stopped shopping there, due to the dropping quality of their meat. It's pretty much a Walmart and Meijer shopping experience these days. Between the two of them I manage to get what I want.
