Meijer launches back-to-school shopping tool

Meijer has launched a new feature to help families seamlessly get the school supplies requested by their teachers.

The new digital “School Supply List” technology allows parents to enter their zip code, search for their school’s supply lists, and then add those items to their cart with a single click. This technology can be accessed through a QR code in the store, via the Meijer app or Meijer.com. The functionality connects Meijer shoppers to teacher-curated lists from more than 5,000 school districts, updated and ready for the 2024/25 school year.

Not all Johnson County school districts had supply lists on the tool, but several did when the Daily Journal ran a check this week.

Additionally, Meijer is giving teachers 15% off school and home office equipment. The coupon is available at the customer service desk and teachers must show a current school ID to get it. In addition to school supplies, the coupon can also be used on things like kids’ apparel and cleaning supplies. The coupon can only be used for purchases made in-store and some restrictions apply.
