Meijer and Kroger Offer Fourth of July Grocery Deals for Summer 2025
For the Fourth of July celebration in 2025, both Meijer and Kroger are offering grocery deals to help customers save on their summer shopping.
Meijer, ranked No. 23 on Progressive Grocer's 2025 list of the top food and consumables retailers in North America, is focusing on savings through its mPerks program. This includes eCoupons, personalized discounts, and rewards on select purchases. Specific promotions often appear in Meijer's weekly ads and digital coupons, such as buy-five-get-discount deals reducing item prices from $2.99 to $0.99 each after coupons. Meijer also runs special events like car seat trade-ins with related coupons, which may coincide with summer promotions.
Meijer is also offering a meal deal for $35 that feeds eight people, with items such as burgers, chicken, potato salad, fruit, and dessert. The cost per person for the meal deal is less than $4.50, depending on the products purchased.
Meijer operates over 500 supercenters, grocery stores, neighborhood markets, and express locations across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin.
Kroger, ranked No. 4 on the same list, is offering deals that are "still a go" as of late July in Kroger stores. Although the specific promotions are less explicitly detailed, customers can look for digital coupons and use rebate apps (like Ibotta) to maximize savings. Kroger typically offers digital coupons and in-store promotions during this period to support holiday BBQs and celebrations.
Kroger is also offering grilling tips from Yme Van Beek, who has over 40 years of experience in meat cutting. Recommendations include brats, carne asada, baby back ribs, New York Strip, brisket, pork shoulder, or a whole chicken for the upcoming holiday.
