LABOR Day weekend is just around the corner and savvy shoppers can take advantage of great deals on grocery staples at a popular retailer.
Meijer offers seven popular BBQ items at lower prices than Walmart and Target to help customers save.
This year, Labor Day falls on September 2, 2024.
It celebrates the social and economic contributions of American workers and marks the unofficial end of summer.

Popular supermarket Meijer is helping Americans celebrate the holiday weekend with special offers and discounts on various barbecue items.
With lower prices than Walmart and Target, Meijer customers can feed their families and friends without breaking the bank.
