Meijer has announced price cuts on more than 1,000 grocery and household products through September 8, offering discounts across categories including meat, produce, cereal, snacks and household essentials. The move makes Meijer the latest major grocery chain to roll out a large-scale discount campaign as retailers compete for budget-conscious shoppers. Meijer said the discounts are part of a rotating selection of more than 1,000 products spanning hundreds of categories, meaning additional items will be added throughout the promotion. According to the latest Consumer Price Index report released, food prices were 3.1 percent higher in July than a year earlier. Retailer promotions, like this one from Meijer, may help ease some of that pressure by lowering prices on popular household staples.
