Good enough..... It had what we needed and more. But.. felt like it used to be much nicer here. Staff was fine nothing great. I thought the prices were higher than they should be. read more

Store is well-laid out and always has good selection. Staff is friendly and helpful. I could find pretty much anything I was looking for.

The surveillingest of Meijers. The parking lot still has those mobile towers with cameras and flashing lights, like they need to be prepared for An Incident. My wife let me know that the pharmacy now has new card readers with cameras in, which seems like a HIPAA violation waiting to happen. read more

I really like Meijer's for produce and general goods. Harvest has terrible produce especially for a place that likes to be known for " healthy, organic" foods. Harvest has terrible produce most of the time & I'v received rotten fruit and veges too many times from harvest. But Meijer's produce has pleasantly surprised me,& even when I order via InstaCart I never have a problem either. I love the variety of produce products as well. I have been getting gorgeous oranges and peaches, nectarines & baking potatoes for example, which I could never find at other stores in and around Champaign. When Im doing In-person shopping at Meijer's, I never wait long on check-out lines & because they have a nice variety in all categories of foods I find many things I just cant get at Harvest or other places in Champaign county. Also, I love that Meijer's carts are for the most part pretty clean-not so at Harvest. The only thing is I wish they had a meat counter & dont generally by fish or meats from there. The cashiers are very nice & pack the way I ask them to & my deliveries are are fine too, never a problem and very prompt. This year I have made Meijer's my main go-to store & highly recommend it. (I never give anyone 5 stars,so 4 stars for me means very satisfied) read more

They always have the food that I am looking for. There is no need to go to 2 or 3 stores. Meijer has everything you need!

Just know that you WILL HAVE TO USE SELF CHECKOUT! Apparently this store doesn't give a shit about how much money it's losing from theft. Personally, due to their high prices and the fact they rarely have actual cashiers, I drive on down the road to Walmart and feed the beast. read more

The betta display is depressing. The fish are rotting in their unchanged, algae filled cups. How does this happen? Just stop ordering them. :/ read more

How come when I went to check out most of the things that I picked out with big yellow sales price tags under them rang up 30 to 50 cents higher than they were listed with the "Sale $3.99" blue cheese ringing up at $4.99 I know Meijer has a better selection of groceries than Walmart and the "Martex" bathroom towels are very good quality on par with Bed Bath and Beyond. But starting around 2012 I noticed someone is not going through the produce department and pulling rotten produce off the shelves. Really, how hard is it to do a walk through with a cart and snag out anything that looks like it's gone bad? read more

See my Google review. I'd rate the pickup employee a minus -12. The management forgot to inform the grocery pickup you have to work at work,...crazy I know. If you want to wait for no reason, barley get waited on,...be talked to like is soo difficult to even speak, too much energy I guess,...then by all means waste your time here. read more

I'm a fan of Meijer based on the sheer number of products they carry. Wow. I stopped into Meijer on Prospect (my first visit ever to this location) to pickup a cake I had ordered. I eyeballed the bakery right when I walked in and had to stay laser focused on getting there..there were so many other tasty items to stop and look at that I was getting severely sidetracked. The employee who helped me in the bakery was very nice. My online order turned out great. 3/5 for the cake. Dummy me assumed the cakes were baked when ordered, but I think they do a lot of baking ahead of time and assemble + decorate as the special orders come in. My cake didn't taste super fresh and it certainly wasn't moist. I can't expect much for only $12 and on the bright-side the cake was decorated exactly as I had ordered it. Yay! *note* you aren't required to prepay for a cake if you order it online.* I can't imagine that this practice is going to stay in place, as there are probably several cake orders that don't ever get picked-up. I assume they put the unclaimed special orders on a discount cart or give them to a pantry. Once I had the cake I moseyed around the deli area for a little bit. So many things to drool over. As previous reviews also mentioned, some of the items I picked up were very near their expiration dates. They were super stocked on items, but no way was all that stuff going to be sold before they expired. Can you imagine how much of that is going into a dumpster next week? I'd definitely come back. Meijer is more affordable than Target and more upscale than Walmart. It's a one-stop-shop for all things home related. Ample parking. Clean store. Huge variety. read more

This is the worst store I have been to in recent memory. My picture of the radishes in the produce department was indicative of the rest of the fresh produce. The other item I did not take a picture of was the clamshell of "living" butter leaf lettuce. However there was nothing living about it. It was shrunken and rotting. Needless to say, I passed on getting produce. The whole experience turned me off from wanting to shop there. What did I learn? I would rather have shopped at the worst WalMart then to step back in their again. read more

Meijer - This produce is a disgrace. It would not be sold! - Grocery Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Aye if a costumer calls wanting to know if an item is in stock why say you're going to transfer the call then proceed to hang up? That's super trash read more

They are awesome, I used the pharmacy more than once now, and they're so kind efficient caring, highly recommend them

ALWAYS check your purchases before you leave the store. If you use one of the clerk aisles, they will almost always leave something out of your bag. Today it was chips which I did not notice until I got home. Have NEVER been to this store when I didn't get home and find out they did not put everything in the bags. Guess the clerks just keep for themselves the things they don't bag. read more

No dressing rooms? Shopping for a dress for my daughter but you can't try anything on. Why do they have so much square footage of store for clothes if you aren't about to try anything on? read more

For purely sentimental reasons, I'm a big fan of Meijer. It was the grocery store of my college days. Many an afternoon was spent perusing a massive Meijer near my college apartment and even though I was dirt poor at the time, I occasionally sprang for a corn dog from the deli. I scrimped and saved by buying groceries on the cheap and I even still have a tie that I once bought on super discount. So, whenever I'm back in the Midwest, I try to stop by a Meijer to relive the magic. Of course, it's just a grocery store and the magic of yesteryear has somewhat abandoned me, but they still put together a fine assortment of goods. The produce section, for example, is above average. Some of the other sections are hit or miss--you might find some great housewares and you'll probably find some that feel a little less dependable. Overall, though, I still think Meijer stacks up nicely to any other chain across the country. I'll happily choose them over most when given the chance. read more

This store has been here 24 years now and has seen it's good & bad times. Shopping there lately has become painful for right now it's more bad than good. Talking to different employees throughout the store has revealed that 4 different managers have left this store just on the grocery side just since the start of the year. Then its not hard to notice there is fewer and fewer employees to help you. Anyway, my wife & I stopped in Sunday night to pick up a few items on our list. Almost all the dairy items we needed we not in stock. (See the 2 pictures) Of the yogurt items that we wanted that was in stock, more than half of the single serve yogurt cups were expired by 3-5 days. Overheard a manager in grocery ask one, of his only 2 employees in grocery, to stock the Pringles, that my wife asked about because they were empty. Seems the other employee was on lunch. Without the dairy & frozen aisles included, I don't know how a manager & 2 employees can keep 12 aisles of grocery ad products full, let alone high demand items like bottled water which is always out of stock on the weekends. It really shows, with more & more empty shelves and sales items never in stock. 2 stars, one star for the value of goods when they are actually in stock. The other star for how friendly & apologetic the employees/manager was over being understaffed & having so many products out of stock. It's almost like the upper management at this store can't handle such a big store or just doesnt care. read more

Meijer - 4 cup light n fit yogurt & 32oz yogurt tubs More out of stock than in stock. - Grocery Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

A big-box all-in-one store much similar to a Super-Walmart, but with a reverse emphasis on grocery vs. everything else. Buses from the local UIUC campus stop by on the street. The lines here can be incredibly long. Unless you're here at the super-late, post-family line times after midnight. The groceries here are sometimes cheaper than other locations, and certainly well-stocked with food you probably should eat less of (snacks and ice cream, noticeably), although partially to cater to the student population, I think. Overall not bad, they generate business by being the one-stop for almost everything, but they'd probably be better off with speedier lines. read more

Store review: Although Champaign is not a food oasis, I am realizing very quickly that your produce options are very limited compared to near the chicago-land area with the tony's finer food and marianos. A lot of the other stores are quite expensive including the local county market. Meijer on the plus side is a corporate chain which offers you national savings from the weekly ad. The food is cheaper than most locations because they buy in bulk. I recently hosted a party and got all my produce from meijer at the last minute. Staff is friendly and the store is massive with large inventory. Pros: good discounts, large selection Cons: only one location Hidden deals: Sign up online for mperks for online coupons. You can earn meijer bucks with prescription refills as well. Free antibiotic and prenatal vitamin program. read more

The pros are that you can find pretty much anything here and M-Perks are useful to help save a slight amount money, although make sure to check you are actually being rewarded the deals, because that isn't always the case. Unfortunately, there are major shortcomings. Meijer's produce is really frustrating, as it's often either universally unripe, spoiled, or unavailable. There is virtually no one available in the aisles to direct you anywhere, even though it's a huge store. The worst part is that you need to diligently check the expiration dates on everything you buy, because there are tons of expired products spread out all over the store. I once found a section of two dozen yogurt containers that were almost 2 months expired. That is not acceptable. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars because it's still a useful store and there are ways to work around its deficiencies, but be aware of these issues. read more

I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of grocery shopping. However, when I do go shopping, Meijer is one of my regular stops. They have a great selection of foods, home goods, and really anything you could ever need. The store is huge, but the layout is really customer friendly. Since I try to keep my shopping as efficient as possible, I like that I can get in and out quickly. Another perk? They have a ton of self-checkout lanes. They have lanes for those who have a few items, as well as lanes for those who have done some serious shopping. I typically opt for self-checkout but the regular lanes are great as well. The cashiers are incredibly quick and friendly. Thanks Meijer, keep doing what you're doing! read more

Update: Their meat is horrible. I was there today 9/26 and they still had a lot of ground beef from 9/15 in the cooler If you don't check the date you have a good chance of picking up expired meat. Even with meat that hasn't expired, I've gotten some that was slimy and smelled bad. I won't buy meat from there anymore, I've thrown enough money in the garbage. read more

Don't shop the Champaign Meijer unless you want to check every single item that it's not expired or expiring the next day- including milk and dairy and deli items. Last year I even found something still out in the deli with an expiration date of 2020... This store is badly managed. Drive to Urbana instead. It's far better than this dump. read more

Well my migraine ended up lasting 45 days. And my doctors all agree its because even after a week of asking Carmen to stop filling medication I dont use and to fill my preventative migraine medication she didnt. During this week I pleaded with her to at least do an override or a preauthorized. She refused. So, I ran out of it and could not take it. That is why I had to go through a 45 day migraine. It required multiple hospitalization and treatment at multiple medical facilities. I kept think surely this pharmacy will fill my medication that I take daily and have for seven years. That they have filled every month for seven years. The medicine I need and the only medicine that I have asked them to fill! I thought wrong they are just very neglegent. What worse is this pharmacy goofed up again! This time some how they forgot to fill my husbands heart medication... They said it was his fault. They refused to allow me to even ask that they dont do this again. Im his wife. I am allow to ask anyone i want to, that they do not attempt to murder my husband!!! They are a really bad pharmacy. And evidently dont care. Terrible. Miejers Pharmacy! Please try not to kill your patients. Oh, and stop calling them customers. You are a pharmacy not a retail store. Aren't you? read more

Meijer, oh Meijer. For you non-Midwest folks, Meijer is a local supermarket chain in Michigan, Illinois and other surrounding states. Now, for you non-Dutch aware folk, Meijer is basically prnounced as "Meyer." The "ij" is a "y" sound in the sassy language of the Netherlands. Meijer is a terrifyingly ginormous box store. It's huge. It's not just a grocery store, although it takes care of most of your grocery needs. It also has electronics, entertainment, garden stuff, furniture, ninjas, and probably a small traveling circus in the back somewhere. They even have organic stuff, although it's hard to be true to my California roots and shop organic when it's 3 x the absurdly low prices of the rest of the stuff. Also, Meijer is fantastic at 2 am on a Saturday night (it's 24 hours). You can frolic in the housewares and indulge in the late snacks or get some cheap ice cream. Meijer is horrendous on a Sunday afternoon, as stressed out families and zoned out college students buy their weight in products. Here's a note: AVOID the self-check out lane, or rather, avoid it when a selfish ass middle-aged couple decides that they should buy $150 of items and then complain that they have to find a worker because they had seven special kinds of coupons---COME ON PEOPLE, IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL SHIT, USE A REAL CHECK OUT. I had 13 items. And just wanted to go home. I'm still gonna shop the gigantic store. But grrrrrr, not on Sunday's. read more

Mom and I intended to stop by Meijer to get just one thing - ground beef. We were in Walmart just before, but I am not a fan of Walmart meat. Mom got pretty distracted right away at the great price on egg nog. Well, this is how it starts. More distraction at discounted Christmas wares. LOL. But I will admit to picking up some discounted Christmas cards. In the meat department, there was various grades of ground beef. I just wish they had it in various sizes - it was a pound or two pounds. Really just needed 1.5 pounds. But I guess they can't provide all options. Overall, it appears they have good food items at a good price. read more

There are 3 types of people in this world. And, it's never to early to start someone out right. So, Kridz is making dinner for her family tonight, so she needed things, like chicken, and spinach, and walnuts, and cranberries, and salad dressing, and gorgonzola, and bacon, and dry salad dressing, and a tube of the bread stuff from Pillsbury. I on the other hand, needed diet mountain dew. While walking around the store, I also discovered that I NEED habanero string cheese (such a mythical creature exists and stories of it have been told of old), and chicken nuggets, and chicken tenders. Did you know if you rearrange the sounds in ha-ban-er-o, you can get burn-yer-a-ho. Whilst walking around the vast grocery selection and running into Marv, and the colonel, I saw a mother raising her child right. Sometimes, the message gets diluted, sometimes it's clear as day, sometimes the method of delivery is the thing that's going to cause rebellion in the future. This was probably going to be the latter, except it won't kick in until she's a teen and she's going to need lots of therapy to discover exactly why she likes what she does. "PUT THAT BACK; I DIDN'T POINT AT THAT; YOU SAW WHAT I POINTED AT; WE DON'T EAT THAT S#1T IN OUR HOUSE; PUT THAT BACK RIGHT NOW" Little girl puts down the Miracle Whip and grabs the Mayo jar right next to it. That's good parenting. So, the 3 type of people in the world are: 1. Mayo eaters 2. The weird people who eat miracle whip (I don't understand them, but who am I to judge) 3. Chet read more

It's like a hike to get from my car to the milk section. The clothes are tacky, pet department is something you'd see on a 20/20 investigation, and the cashiers are wore-out overworked and rude. I am literally five feet away from the granny-panties section when I'm buying wine. This is the downfall of the grocery store. read more

I pretty much try to make it out to Meijer every weekend to stock up on the usual: milk, yogurt, fruit, rice cakes, peanut butter, free snacks =P Prices are cheap, they have basically anything you could need... think Jewel or Dominick's on steroids. Not only do you have your groceries section, but they have clothing (which I would never buy), cosmetics, office supplies, home furnishings, a pharmacy... pretty much anything you could ever possibly need, and then some. This place really is a one stop shop. Love it! My only complaint is that it's too far from campus! read more

Wow. I am from the south and have never heard of this chain. Super Walmart has nothing on these guys. The store was ENORMOUS and items seemed better in every way. Not the place to go for a quick in and out trip but definitely an awesome store if you need to get several things. The service was good and friendly and the place seemed much cleaner than any walmart I've ever been to. read more

Meijer is what Wal-mart would be if it wasn't run by corporate whores. They have a ton of selections and great prices with a very helpful staff. The lunch meat counter was really cheap com paired to the other places I've been to. on;y complaint there is that the lady slicing the meat really was in no hurry to help anyone. it took 20 minutes to get a pound of sliced ham. I mainly went for groceries when I am in Champaign since the only grocery store in Monticello is County Market and it leaves me needing things every time I got there. read more

Slowest grocery checkout. Takes more time to check out than to shop. Obviously they want everyone to use self check

Why do I come here? They NEVER have any lanes open. Their clerks are so SLOW it's insane. You'd think that from 5-6 pm when people stop After work they'd have more than 3 people checking!! On this particular day there were two people in front of me with average amount of stuff and it took 30 minutes to get through the line! Ridiculous. read more

I could just write "Kamut 'n Honey" here, and satisfy myself. But that wouldn't satisfy my readers, so I will expand that. Meijer is more than a grocery store, more than a department store, more than a toy store - it's a crazy gestalt of weirdness. I had a lot of fun coming here at odd hours of the night and getting things such as a frozen pizza and a copy of Bust a Move for the SNES. Or, one night during finals freshman year, brauschweiger, spackle, and a putty knife. Seriously, where else can you do that at 2AM? Now to explain my cryptic first comment. We found this strange cereal "Kamut 'n Honey" there. It had a big spiel about kamut being the most ancient of grains on the back, and a big Egyptian pharaoh head thing n the front. Crazy stuff. And also a bit scary. I actually ran an experiment one year, where I secretly marked the boxes in the store. Every time I went back, these exact same boxes were there. As far as I know, no one has every bought this cereal (and that's why I believe it no longer exists). The sad thing is, it might have been the greatest cereal ever, but I was too busy laughing at the absurdness of it to ever try it. And now I will never know. read more

If Meijer was a restaurant, I would give it 8 Michelin stars. If Meijer was an actor/actress, it would win every Academy Award ever awarded. Past, present, and future. If Meijer was president, there would be world peace. If Meijer was the UofI football team, they would actually win games. Fine...that last one was stretching it. I've been to this Meijer at 12am, 12pm, 4am, and 4pm over the course of my undergrad years and the consistency and excellence of the place, at whatever hour of the day, has been otherworldly. This place is the definition of "one stop shopping." Where else can you get everything you need for thanksgiving dinner, an arsenal of airsoft guns, and bedtime slippers? Only at Meijer. And if you have an answer that's not "Meijer," take one of the many high quality cleaning chemicals stocked on Meijer's pristine shelves and chug as much of it as fast as you can. You can even use the beautiful china stocked in their household goods section. And then rest your lifeless (previously useless) body in their furniture section where your final thoughts will be how wrong you were about the excellence that is Meijer. If you can't find any of those things, Meijer's super helpful staff will assist you (ask for Rick P). If I ever win a Super Bowl, I couldn't care less about Disney Land. Meijer 4 lyfe! [Yelp has no option to check for whether or not this place is "Good for Kids." I'll take the time to tell you that it is. It's also "Good for Groups" and "Good for Life in General" as well. If Meijer can't make you a better person, then you probably suck.] read more
