Meijer pasta on clearance at… Jewel?

By:

Here’s a strange item reader Siden spotted on the clearance shelves at the Crystal Lake Jewel-Osco store yesterday — boxes of Meijer pasta..!

How did these get there? Strangely, reader NFriday also reported seeing Meijer pasta on clearance at her local Jewel store too.

Here’s a larger photo of the pasta on the shelf clearly showing Jewel’s shelf tag and other Jewel house-branded items:

  1. If they were at one store I would say return, but more then one store is odd. Sadly people from the food pantry have returned food for money at our area Jewel, so much so we have to x out bar codes :-( Not sure if that is what happened but a thought.

  2. My guess is the food company who made the noodles sent the wrong product to Jewel-Osco. I’ve found bottled water with Rite Aid’s logo at Jewel-Osco too. Same bottling company, just the wrong packaging. The barcode matched regular Jewel-Osco cases, so it rings in the same.

  3. I saw the same thing at the McHenry Jewel. I didn’t notice it was from Meijer right away but that didn’t stop me from snapping up 10 boxes of the stuff! I mean, it was only 45-cents a box! Who could resist that? I also grabbed some perfectly hideous-tasting Cream of Wheat cereal with added protein. Skip that one, folks.
