My first experience with the "buy everything including groceries here" concept, used to be the only game in town until Super Walmart opened up. Very useful for the college student in that it is open 24 hours. There are some up in Chicago in the suburbs I have seen, but they also have to compete with Super Targets as well. For groceries, I always prefered Schnuck's in Urbana (for selection and service), but they always had very good prices in the Meijer.
