Used to come almost every week, but have been coming less recently, and may have to stop altogether.... The produce isn't good quality anymore. I bought 2 bell peppers and 5 onions on Saturday. The onions were bad by Monday, and by Wednesday the peppers were bad. Nothing looked good Saturday, but I did my best to pick what I thought might last... 2 weeks ago I bought a bag of bagels only to discover they were moldy as soon as I got home... Money is way too tight for it to get thrown down the drain.

They should let people know that they don't take insurance food cards
We did all of our grocery shopping and then they said we don't accept this
Great grocery store, always have everything you need.

I try acme every so often since they (redid it). It's depressing to shop here. It's dark, not shopper friendly and now they don't have anyone to help with the bagging. It's no cheaper than Meijer. I told someone in customer service that I needed help and she told me there's no baggers anymore. I told her I wouldn't be back and she said no big deal. WOW, I can't believe your customers are treated like this
Let me start by saying the recent remodel was a huge mistake — the store looks ugly now, and I much preferred how it was before.
Acme Fresh Market uses deceptive pricing tricks that punish customers who don't have a membership card. You're honestly better off shopping at Meijer, even if you don't have their membership — they actually respect your time and money.
Here's a quick story from my recent visit that shows exactly what I mean:
Imagine you're a regular or new customer who just wants to grab a couple of 2-liter drinks. On the shelf, you see the 2-liters marked at $4 each (they're normally about $2), with a big "Buy One Get One Free" sign. It looks like a great deal, so you grab two thinking you'll pay around $4 total.
At checkout, both get scanned and the total comes to $8. Why? Because the BOGO discount only applies if you scan a membership card. Without it, you're charged the full inflated price on both.
This isn't a real promotion — it's a trick. They artificially raise the normal price to $4 just to create the appearance of a "sale," then only give you the discount if you have the card. If you only want one bottle, you still get hit with the higher $4 price. If you're in a rush or just arent paying attention in the moment), it's easy to miss the fine print and overpay without realizing it. You end up going from planning to spend about $2 on one bottle to accidentally spending $8 on two.
This is classic price anchoring and bait-and-switch tactics combined with a membership penalty. Meijer doesn't pull this. Their shelf prices are straightforward — what you see is what you pay. You don't need a membership card to get the advertised deals, and you can use self-checkout without any hassle. No fake inflated "regular" prices, no hidden conditions, and no forcing you to sign up for a loyalty program just to avoid getting overcharged.
Shame on Acme Fresh Market for going downhill like this after the remodel. Customers deserve honest pricing, not these kinds of manipulative games.
Thank you for reading.
