The discount is being funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture waiver grant to help those using the SNAP program have access to healthy food, a spokesperson told News Center 7.

“Fresh produce discount available in-store only at all Meijer supercenters, Meijer Grocery, neighborhood market stores and Express locations throughout Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin,” a Meijer spokesperson said.

The wavier grant also allowed Meijer to offer special discounts since October, including free home delivery during November.
