It has been a couple years since I have been in this place, but I was reminded of it whilst…read moreperusing Yelp here. It is a small store, but actually quite big for a small town shop. They don't have a large selection of more exotic things like dairy-free loafs of bread or frozen mock meats suitable for a vegan, but they do have some Mornigstar Farms items. I would suggest those for vegetarians if it were not for my recent discoveries about GMOs... While it sometimes feels like I am, I am assuming that I am not the only vegan or vegetarian visiting towns such as Monticello who is wondering where to go to get some eats. Anyhow, there is enough here that you can certainly make a meal no matter what your dietary needs. There just isn't much in the way of "quick" foods available here that I could eat if I just wanted to pop something into my friend's microwave. I am thinking that we did find some interesting items that I had not seen elsewhere, but it really escapes me what they were now. (I guess that means I will have to go back!) We were often visiting a friend in the area so we have shopped here when we did not feel like making the trek to Kroger or Walmart. I DO prefer to shop at small, locally-owned stores, but sometimes the hours didn't work for us or there were other things we needed at the bigger places. Everyone really should support this store though since it is such a luxury these days to have a grocery in a small town. It is for that reason that I am giving a four instead of a three because I am happy that it even exists. It was a huge selling point for me when we were considering moving to Monticello. All we have where we are now is a gas station and believe me I am grateful for that much! A grocery store would be heaven!

Make sure you check all of the dates before you take anything from the refrigerators. The bakery is…read morefantastic! The deli not so much. Bad attitudes and raw chicken are served up. There is a new store manager so now that Slow Joe is gone, maybe things will change.

I really like Meijer's for produce and general goods. Harvest has terrible produce especially for a…read moreplace 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)

This place is awesome! I can see it becoming the best Asian international grocery market in the…read morearea! They have a huge selection of foods predominantly from China, South Korea, and Japan. I have seen some Indian, Vietnamese, and Filipino stuff though including a generous section of spices and whatnot. The prices are quite affordable and they have a great assortment of fresh produce, deli foods like ready to eat kimbap or squid salad, baked goods, pick your own hotpot items, and fresh bbq (put out at 11am). Their staff is super friendly and diverse (a sign at the entrance touts the multilingual abilities of the staff). They seem to have everything including more niche ingredients and even live seafood! I also appreciate that they freshly butcher meat to sell unlike other stores like Amko that freeze it all. There's also a home goods section with cute bowls, makeup, and other stuff. This is all relatively close to campus too and worth the trip. It's also right next to Golden Harbor, which is a plus. I found out about their membership card. You get 1 point per dollar spent and it builds up - it seems handy especially if you shop here frequently. They are still in the opening stage but hopefully the food court will open up soon!

Very surprised to see an Asian market with a great variety of options in the area. We happened to…read morepassed by the market and saw some of our favorite items that you can only get in Asian markets. Red dates, Gogi Berry, ginger tea, kimchi, Vita drinks, matcha soymilk, miso paste, whole wall of lee kum kee sauces, japanese candies, Korean banana milk, coffee milk, instant noodles, and much more. Their fresh produce was a bit low in stock but they had Taiwan and Napa cabbage and fresh ginger. Inside seems clean and there is parking right outside of the market. Cashier was really friendly. There is a membership to earn points to redeem for coupon. Don't forget to grab some Japanese or Korean instant coffee packs and special lays flavored chips! Those are so good.

I usually shop this store for fresh vegetables and fruit. I picked up some plumcots which were…read morealready in a bag so did not check them. This was mainly my fault for not opening the bag and checking to see if the fruit was eatable. When I got home I opened the bag and all the plumcots were shriveled and uneatable, also tasted bad. So I wasted $6. Lesson learned -- always opened their bags and check!

My Experience at SCHNUCKS-Mahomet yesterday:…read more I was in Mahomet yesterday doing some errands for a friend, who needed an item from the grocery store. This was not my first time at the store in Mahomet, but it was the first time in quite a while - in fact, upon walking in, I was quite impressed with the recent remodel. The store looked new and very clean. As you walk in, you immediately hit the produce section. I noticed they had black seedless grapes for $1.99/lb, so I decided to pick up a bag of them. I weighed the bag at the produce counter, and it weighed ~2 lbs., so, by my calculations, my bag would cost ~$4.00. I picked up the items for my friend and continued to the register. I got to the register and the young man scanned and weighed my grapes and said my total was $6.55. I questioned it in my head, but thought maybe the scale was off in the produce section, so I swiped my card - something I wish I hadn't done. The kid handed me my receipt, which I noticed that the grapes weighed 2.19 lbs, but the price was $2.99 - $1 more than the sign said. I explained to the kid that the price was wrong, and he and the bagger both followed me over to the produce section to verify the price I saw. When we confirmed the price, we went back to the register and he tossed my receipt and handed me $0.75. I said that's not right, that he owed me a little over $2 - and he said he did not, and in the commotion the "manager" stepped in. I explained the situation to the "manager" [the quotes are here because the Manager, according to the receipt, was David Bryan, and this was a woman. Now unless this woman was named David, she was not the Manager]. The woman took me over to the front desk, where another young lady was, and started to give me the refund. This young lady was just as confused with basic math, having to pull out a calculator. I just don't understand how these kids can't see that with $1 difference at 2lbs means that you owe back $2. Meanwhile, the "manager" walked over to the produce section to check the price. When she returned, she said I was wrong and the price was $2.99/lb. I told her SHE was wrong and that I would not have picked up the grapes at that price, PLUS the kid that originally rang me up, who has now mysteriously disappeared along with my receipt, had verified the $1.99 price point. She stood her ground and told me I could keep the grapes at the price I was originally rung for, along with a smug "Have a good day." At this point I was pissed. I demanded a refund, then walked out - but then, as I was walking out, I turned around and went back to the produce section. There it was, the $1.99 sign, not once but on 3 rows of black seedless grapes!!! I removed the sign and marched it back up to the counter and showed it to the smug "manager," whom was conversing along with her staff about how crazy I was! I marched up and showed her the sign and said "WHAT DOES THIS SAY???" She said "Where was this?" and marched back over to the produce section. I showed her the area with the signs, but NOT ONCE did she apologize. Not once. She said "we can sell you the grapes for $1.99 - and I just said "Forget it. I don't want the grapes now!" and walked out the door. I will NEVER shop there again.
