Official Meijer Grocery Store Thread (deals & discussion)

I forgot to check out the Visa gift cards today, but I don't believe they require registration unless you want to use it online. If the back of the card says it's activated upon purchase, or a few hours after purchase, then you probably don't have to register it. I think it starts to deduct a $2.50 fee after 6-7 months though.

Bestlife was fully stocked today with the 0.99 sign. Cashier had a bad attitude since the coupon beeps for "coupon exceeds item price" but she put it through.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest was completely, entirely cleaned out. (sigh)

Reps to anyone who can answer the question below: I went to the Pharmacy with a prescription and told them, I know it's a free antibiotic, but since the free meds don't qualify for the $10 offer, I want to pay for it through my insurance. Well after I got all my groceries together, the pharmacist (not a pharm tech) came at me with a very nasty tone and said I can't use the $10 coupon with a free med. I said it is not free, I am paying part of it, and the insurance is paying the rest. She practically screamed at me that they are not getting paid for it. I calmly explained, that I understand I am only paying 1.xx, but the insurance is paying 11.xx, so they are getting paid around $13 in the end, whereas they get paid NOTHING through the free program. Meijer has to eat the cost for the free meds, as opposed to a net $3 gain if she lets me pay for it. And she came at me with the same nasty tone saying "WE ARE NOT GETTING PAID FOR IT". Then she claimed it was corporate policy, that any med that is available free, MUST be processed under the Meijer free med program. Is anyone able to verify this one way or another? I don't see anything written on the Meijer site.
