Sweet

I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the lack of comments on the last post. It is hard for me to believe that of the hundreds of people reading this blog, only two have cared to comment on their favorite Meijer products, and one of them doesn't really like Meijer products and the other only commented to share a completely unrelated story. Both comments were still greatly appreciated and those people will be receiving a prize for their efforts. Speaking of last posts comments, MEIJER EXECUTIVES please take note that people in Kansas want awesomeness. They are sick of the same old mediocre products and low quality produce. Really, Meijer doesn't have a lot of competition in the awesomeness department in Kansas. It wouldn't take much to really make an impact. Sorry Kansans, not trying to be rude, I mean you do have the prairie thing going on, and K-State, but you need some help. Like an extreme makeover state edition, with Meijer stores as the center piece. Someone at Meijer needs to get Ty Pennington on board and then things will happen.

Okay, this post is getting off course. What I really wanted to share was a picture sent to me by a co-worker who found it on someone's Facebook site. Sorry I can't give credit to whoever you are.
Have a look.
What I am thinking is that someone at Meijer was on a health kick and was just trying to say to the masses, "You can buy 4oz of sugar wrapped in a fancy bag for 62 cents, or you can get this 5 pound bag of sugar for like a buck." Clearly Meijer continues to be concerned with helping the average consumer save money.

If you didn't comment last time, feel free to continue to do so. I am eager to learn what products at Meijer you have found to be really good. Let me also know if you have decided to replace your candy bar habits with straight up sugar, and how that is going.

Meijer Brand

Meijer had a wonderful ad campaign going not that long ago that showed comparisons between name brand products and Meijer brand products with the only difference being the price. (See the commercial posted below with the girl eating spinach.) Even before these commercials came out, I had been expounding to my less enlightened friends how good Meijer brand products are. This concept was brought to mind again by my friend Dian, who occasionally has a moment of weakness and shops at a different mega store. She ends up buying bread there and is remorsefully disappointed with the poor taste and quality. She then wished desperately that she had gone to Meijer instead and purchased the Meijer brand wheat bread. Poor soul.
For those who buy name brand products, or store brand products at places other than Meijer, I want to encourage you to give Meijer a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

A few of my favorite Meijer products are: hot dogs (its all gross meat no matter who packages it, might as well be cheap), the cranberry cocktail juices, bread, salsa (the corn and black bean is the best) and milk (it is the only kind my wife and I drink).

Please write in and tell me some of your favorite Meijer products.
