"6-on your side" (channel 6 news) did a run on this a couple months ago
during the time when Dateline or another national news rag targeted
K-Mart.  They went to a few local stores to check the prices and found
some irregularities at KMart and maybe somewhere else.  No mention of
free stuff if caught, though.  You might call Channel 6 and see if they
want to run a followup on this, targeting Meijers this time.
