I also look forward to their heirloom pumpkin options each fall. Located in Porters Vale, there is plenty of parking and lighting in the evening. This store is super ginormous, encompassing more than just groceries - Meijer offers clothing, shoes, garden supplies and gasoline. The employees are extremely patient and helpful. In addition, they are open to requests to include offerings from local businesses. This is my new Meijer.

This is your average run-of-the-mill grocery store, with one caveat, they have a few magnificent…read moresales. I'd say at least once a month they have a deal so remarkable that I scamper over here to load up on that item. Last week they had Old Orchard apple juice, fairly big jug for 98¢. I came in just for that. Bought a dozen. I get a little sheepish like I'm taking advantage, but the clerks are glad to see you and glad you're getting a great deal. No need to worry if you aren't picking up your whole week's worth of groceries, they couldn't be nicer. They also always have a nice selection of seasonal items wether that's pumpkins and mums in the fall or Christmas wreaths and poinsettias after Thanksgiving. Especially if you have errands in Calumet Ave, be sure to stop by!

You people who "praise" T and C, MUST have something wrong with you! Especially since the recent…read moretakeover. Their prices are outrageous. Big deal, they run a few products at a sale price. That's just a game they play with us. That makes people think their overall prices are good. They'll run a few good deals to get you into the store and then they hose you on the rest of the items. Remember, you have to bag your own groceries too. They have little price signs everywhere, "supposedly" showing the regular price, versus the "new" price. Are you kidding me? Did you ever look at those tags? Then they show "their" price on the tag. They have raised prices dramatically, since the new company took over. They're making a complete fool of you, if you think they haven't raised them. They're fooling you BIG TIME. Here's a perfect example. They hung a sign from the ceiling in the meat department that said: "Lower prices on thousands of items. Ground beef $7.18 for a pound.....a POUND! Does that sound like a "low" price to you? Plus, it comes in a tube. You have no idea what you're getting, because you can't see the meat. Here's another one. Chuck roast for $9.98 a pound. Does sound like a "bargain" to you? I could go on and on, how they're playing games with us customers. But you're getting railroaded folks. They put in a new floor, dressed some things up and shoppers think they're getting a great deal. Some of you really need to wake up. But that's ok, keep shopping there and fritter your money away. It's only "money," right? SMH.

My favorite here are the pita chips and cheeses for charcuterie, avocados and organic bananas. They have an extensive wine and chocolate section too.

I don't feel as rushed with self checkout. Today I didn't have room on the scale for my last item. I scanned it and then just stuck it back in my cart. No alarms went off and the system still let me proceed to payment unhindered. There's a huge Christmas vibe right now. Lots of decor for reasonable prices. I picked up a nice "Joy" sign for my front porch for $8.99. Unless you're hitting up thrift stores, you won't beat this price until the after-season sales begin.

This Walmart has a reputation of being much better than the one in Merrillville and I'm pleased to…read moreinform you this rumor is true. The parking is plentiful, the store is clean, well organized and sufficiently staffed based on my visit last week (less than 40 minutes). Used self checkout with little issues except I could not scan an item but there promptly was someone there to help me. I enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning to this location because my Target experiences have left much to be desired since moving to Indiana. I never thought I would say this, but Walmart, I think you may have Catherine P. back as a customer because of this location and the location in Huntley, Illinois. Other than those two locations, I haven't found any others which can hold a candle to these particular two spots and thats ok because I found this one!

Oh, and many of the prices have increase up to 1/4 in the last year, because "blah, blah, blah" Walmart plus was horrible. Ordering online from walmart is horrible. The staff is horrible. The store is begging to be cleaned. The list of why not to shop there goes on and on. Please avoid this nightmare, even if you have to pay an extra dime or two on products.
