Michigan-Based Chain Cuts Prices on Summer Grocery Essentials

With prices still high and budgets feeling tight, a Michigan-based grocery chain is cutting the cost of summer staples, just in time for cookouts, road trips and everything in between. Basically, it's a good summer for s'mores and hot dogs.

Meijer announced earlier this month that it is dropping prices on more than 70 Meijer brand grocery essentials in order to help customers who are feeling pinched by high prices and inflation.

Why Is Meijer Cutting Prices Now?

Don Sanderson is Meijer's Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer. In a press release, Sanderson says the retailer is hoping to help families find affordable meal options this summer.

"This promotion underscores our dedication to bringing 'more good to life' at great prices, ensuring families can find affordable and reliable options across every aisle."
