The first time I visited a Meijer store was in Ann Arbor with one of my uncles, I never had seen so much stuff in one place before except maybe at Disneyland or in Southern California (in general).  I think it is cool that the first one opened in Grand Rapids, MI.  For more trivia, see their website (History, under Meijer corporation).

I am not the first to review this place, and I will tell you why. It's amazing. Period. Without question or contest.

Now, while everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this is not a choice.

Here, listen:

1. It's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What more could one ask for. This is especially useful for me, as a server, because I don't get out of work until midnight or one in the morning, and there is no way I'm getting up early on any occasions, so a pop into Meijer post shift is fab.

2. Low prices. Lower than you'll find anywhere else, really. I'm not kidding. With a few exceptions you can find what you need much cheaper than if you headed to Tom's, Walmart, or even the Village Market (see earlier reviews ;)

3. It has *EVERYTHING*. When I reviewed Walmart I complained that it did not carry liquor or wine. Not so at Meijer. As a matter of fact, you can find about anything you want (that's legal, of course! (I know you were craving absinthe..)). From clothes and make up, to hair dye and groceries to fill an army, your shopping car will be stuffed with day-to-day and more exotic purchases.

I could go on forever, but the fact is you have to try to place to understand its glory.  You'll agree, this place is fab.

Meijer is probably the best 24 hour grocery store in town. Their produce is usually pretty nice, and every once in a while, they get something odd or exotic there.

Since it's a one-stop shopping center, it has everything you'd need, though some of their stuff is significantly more expensive than other box stores. I find that their health and beauty supplies are almost always more expensive than other places. Still, they have a wide selection of food, and have even added their own line of organic food!

The selection of fresh meat is also fantastic, and usually they have some nice deals. They wrap their things nicely in butcher's paper and it's the best place to pick up steaks or seafood.

Their international food section is always worth a look, and they have both a bulk candy and bulk dog treat section. And since they run their own brand of foods, you can pick up similar products to the namebrand food for half the price. Their cereals aren't bad at all.

I do have a few warnings: if you go in late at night, some of the employees instantly treat you like you're about to steal something. My friends and I have been followed by one employee on multiple occasions, even though we just came in to check out the video games. Also, they do have a little sushi area, but I would NEVER get sushi after 5PM, that's a stomach ache waiting to happen.

Open 24 hours, better prices, and all you need! From batteries, to cat toys, to electronics, to fresh produce- Meijer is my one shop pit-stop. Their grocery selection takes up probably 1/3 of the building and has a wider selection than any other grocer around. The vegetarian selection isn't very big, but again, bigger than others in town. Also, I'd like to note they supply a small amount of Asian, German, Dutch, Spanish foods and snacks (along with others as well).

Because Meijer has a "all in one spot" reputation, a lot of people come here. So if you're looking to do your shopping on Saturday, look out- it's crowded. I tend to shop later at night, and consequently nobody else is usually around, and I also use the self check-out lanes to finish up my shopping experience.
