THE BEST VEGAN FOODS AT MEIJER
Meijer “Thrifty Acres”, you’ve come a long way.
Yes, Michigan-based Meijer was named “Meijer Thrifty Acres” for decades (we are talking pre-Tofurky time!) and is credited by some as pioneering the supermarket concept. It is now a multi-billion dollar hypermarket chain, still privately held by the Michigan-based family.
4 EASY AND DAIRY-FREE FROZEN SUMMER TREATS
