I always use my Meijer store Credit Card for Grocery shopping. The benefit of having this card is that I am able to budget my monthly grocery and personal use spending. I don't go over what my credit limit is and I pay the balance off at the end of the month. The great thing about this card is that there is no annual fee, but the interest is slightly higher than my commercial  credit c...

These are low-end wiper blades, but they work fine for a couple of seasons.I stopped buying even medium quality wiper blades a long time ago.  It seems that something always happens to damage blades after a couple of seasons anyway, so why bother to pay more money? I’m sure this is not everyone’s philosophy, but it works for me.  So, once again, being trapped in the ice ha...

These protectors are not archival safe, but might be handy for low budget school or home projects that will have a short life.I bought these to use for sorting address information for an organization I belong to.  I knew that I was buying a lower quality product, but don’t accidentally pick these up if you are looking for something good.They hold standard 8.5 x11 inch pages, load fro...

Let’s face it girls, sometimes it’s nice to just have a little something absorbent between us and the panties.  These are just fine and they don’t cost so much that it’s painful to think about how much that little bit of comfort costs.Meijer unscented pantiliners seem to work just fine.  These are the standard size liners, 6" by 2" with a slight dogbo...

These are similar to York Peppermint Patties, and are almost comparable in taste.I was really surprised at how good these are.  In fact, I like the chocolate in these better than the York.  These are labeled “Rich Dark Chocolate with Peppermint Centers.”  The chocolate is darker and smoother than the York.  The peppermint cream isn’t quite as “icy&rdq...

Meijer flexible fabric one-inch wide bandaids are difficult to remove from the packaging, but once in place on a wound they work very well.I am currently dealing with a cat bite right in a finger joint on the palm side.  It’s a really annoying place to have a wound of any type.  The tear is large enough that a 3/4 inch bandaid won’t cover it, and the fact that it’s r...

This year, for the first time, I allowed myself to take medication for bad heel blisters while hiking, and later for a stress fracture.  It was really helpful, and the Meijer brand was a good as the name brand.On some hikes I have a really bad time with blisters on my heels.  The entire heel peels and then refuses to heal.  In May, it was really slowing the entire group down beca...

The scent of the Seville Row candle is very nice, but it does not put that fragrance into the air when it is burning!Considering that I bought this from a mark-down table for $1.99 instead of the $6.39 it originally sold for, I am not going to complain.  But if I had paid full price for this candle I would have been very unhappy.  The candle was originally a tall pillar, 3 inches in d...

I get sinus infections every spring and fall.  However, some over-the-counter drugs work just as well as prescription drugs, and cost a fraction of the price.  I have recently tried a store brand allergy and sinus pill, to see if I could make an even less expensive purchase.  I found out that the Meijer brand sinus and allergy pill works just as well as the name brand prescriptio...

I hate accumulating plastic shopping bags and prefer to use cloth reusable bags when I can. So, my husband and I have picked up several canvas bags for shopping over the years. They are sturdy and can carry a lot of heavy cans, and I love it. However, one drawback is that they are white, and they stain easily if something leaks onto them.At a recent visit to Meijer, I saw that they had small bu...

Do you remember how your grandmother used to make cocoa for you?  Well I do and this is nothing like my grandmother's cocoa!  This is a special type of chocolate syrup with a cinnamon flavor added.  It is called Abuelita by Nestle.  Abuelita means grandmother in Spanish.  This is a drink that we serve in our Mexican Restaurant in Ohio.  Abuelita, Syrup de Choco...

It's that time of year again.  The time when weeds and grasses invade my flower beds.  I am tired of pulling them out by hand.  I just don't have the time.  I was shopping at Meijer's the other day and I thought about applying some chemicals to the area to kill off the invaders.  I found this bottle of Preen.  It caught my eye because the bottle says it...

Yes, that's right.... another Tinkerbell product review from me! I was shopping at Meijers for some socks for work.  I was looking for black socks since we wear black pants and  black shoes at the restaurant.  I saw these cute Disney socks on the end of the display near my boring black socks. The package was 4 pairs of Tinkerbell Socks.  I loved the first ...

A few years ago a new office addition was built where I work.  Luckily I was to have my new office there.  In the bathroom there was a great need for some type of storage cabinet to keep supplies in.     My boss went to Meijers and purchased the Ameriwood White Storage Cabinet. This cabinet is 31-1/2" high, 24" wide and 12" deep.  There are two ...

Let me start out by saying I'm a Colgate girl and always have been.  But.....I was walking past a clearance display....I know it always seems to be a better find when something is on clearance....when I spotted this pretty blue/red box of toothpaste calling my name.  Pssst...come over here...check me out!  So I did.  This is going to be my toothpaste brand from now on. T...

I bought these Rustler Black pants for my husband to wear to work.  Owning a restaurant, we ruin alot of our clothes because of bleach or other kitchen stains.  These black Rustler pants were a great find at Meijers.  The are very inexpensive and have a feature that my husband loves alot.  On the side of the pant, at the waist, there is a small section of material that has e...

How about an ink pen for only 23 cents?  I found these multicolor, pack of 6, ink pens at Meijers.  There are three different colors of ink in this package of pens.  There are 2 blue, 1 red and 3 black pens.  The color of the pen is the color of the ink.  They have a medium point, which I prefer when I write.  They glide smoothly over many types of paper ...

My husband was saying that his leather gloves were not keeping his hands warm enought this winter.  Leather gloves are nice looking but sometimes they can be cold.  So I set off to go shopping at my favorite store called Meijers.  I found this pair of Falls Creek gloves on clearance.  The regular price of these gloves was $19.99 and even at that price they are well worth the...

I purchased this adorable little stuffed moosey for my newest granddaughter.  I wanted her to have something unique .......not the same old teddy bear to cling on to.  She has loved it from the start.  The very first day of her existance......it was next to her!  Now that she is almost 7 months old.......she has found that it is very chewable !  The moose is very soft a...
