Meijer product reviews

I love my Meijer store! I buy Meijer brand products whenever I can. I started buying them because they are cheaper than national brands. Now, I buy Meijer brand because the quality is (usually) better than the national brands. If I buy a generic or store brand that doesn't compare well to the national brand, I won't buy it again. I buy Meijer brand products a LOT! Now that Meijer has a "Naturals" food line, with no artificial ingredients or GMOs, I buy that, no matter the cost (which is almost always cheaper than the national brands anyway) Meijer also has an "Organics" food line, which we love. So, here is my 1st list of Meijer "product reviews". No doubt, there will be more lists to follow.

dry pasta - I buy it all, use it all & love it all. It's cheap & tastes great.

"Naturals" corn & black bean salsa. I originally bought it because it promises "no GMOs". I keep buying it, because it tastes great, and it doesn't cost any more than "regular" salsas. When it's on sale, I stock up. Bonus - my kids like to eat these veggies.

flour tortillas - I don't buy them. The list of ingredients is too long & full of things I can't pronouce. I'm not feeding them to my kids. I make my own tortillas with Meijer unbleached flour.

"restaurant style tortilla chips" - ground corn, oil, salt. That's it. No crap. probably GM corn, but I'm doing the best I can here. (we also like the organic tortilla chips. They cost a bit more, but I try to avoid GM corn whenever possible)

"Organics" creamy peanut butter. - peanuts, oil, sugar, salt. Bonus - it tastes EXCELLENT!

"Naturals" creamy peanut butter. I like it, my kids hate it. I think it's because they're too lazy to stir the oil back into the solids, when it settles. They eat it, just won't make their own sandwiches with it.

mandarin oranges - oranges, water, sugar. Sure beats the questionable ingredients in the national brand. Oh yeah, I checked. Bonus - prevents scurvy.

I buy all the meijer brand sugar, powdered sugar, brown sugar & unbleached flour. They work great, cost less. It's a win-win for me.

milk - "...from cows not supplemented with artificial growth hormones" that's why I buy it. I don't care if the FDA thinks rBST is safe. They also told us Vioxx & aspartame were safe.

"Organics" honey and nut toasted oat cereal. Sorry Mr. Meijer, my kids didn't like it. But, my chickens sure did :-)

Well, there's list one. Stay tuned for list two, hopefully sometime before spring!
