Meijer's response to their new ad

[brandasa]

Thanks for your feedback on the new ad layout. I appreciate your concern about the number of items in the weekly ad. We are implementing a new program that provides our customers with 3 ways to save, Sale items, Price Drops, and Every Day Best Price items, and while we have focused the print ad to be the best of these items, we have an additional 3,000 items on sale per store, per week. This program is described in more detail at evenmoresavings.meijer.com, which will be up and running in the next day or so. In the meantime, you can find the additional items on our weekly ads website, which is meijer.com/ads. You will notice in the category listings (located on the left hand side) the headings of All Every Day Best Prices and All Price Drops. By clicking on these categories you will be able to view everything that we have on sale each week.

Please take a moment to check the website when you get a minute. I am interested to know if this information is helpful to you and will aid you in your purchase decisions.

***I checked out the second site, it does not seem overly helpful, as you can't really search it (or at least I did not see how). Just thought I would share.

Thanks for posting this! I checked it out and you can search, the box is on the top right. And you can filter by category too. While I'm still not happy about this change, since going through those big lists will take time each week, I guess I am glad that I won't have to spend it walking every aisle in search of the deals.
