ACME is one of my favorite places to shop and stock up! I shop mainly the Easton ACME and there is a young man (i cant remember his name bc Im terrible with names) who I try to seek out when I am ready to check out. He is always so pleasant and eager to see just how much I will be saving that day. One day I had a REALLY good haul where my grocery bill went from $200+ to $4.87 and he was more excited than I was and said “oh my goodness, I want to announce this over the loud speaker!”. I look forward to my trips and being greeted with his smiling face when I come check out in his lane. Its nice to have a store that appreciates your business and helps make your day a little brighter. #iheartACME so much that I am going to complete two more entries so keep your eye open on fb and twitter 🙂
Shawnda says
We had just moved to MD and we were getting serious about couponing. Well Acme was our first big haul (80% savings). The cashiers and fellow shoppers are always so friendly!
Debbie says
I absolutely love Acme! I shopped there all the time for some great bargains (10 for $10) and I always was able to use coupons for additional savings. I am really sorry they left Kent Island but I make sure to stop I to the great Easton store..
Lindsay says
We have a condo at the beach and there’s an ACME nearby so that is where we always grocery shop almost all summer long. We love shopping there for the great deals and selection, and it’s just fun because when we’re there, we’re at the beach! The employees are always friendly too. Such a great store!
Venus Windmiller says
Hi Maggie! I don’t have a fun Acme story as I’ve never shopped there before. There isn’t one “super close” to me BUT I would love to try it! When you live on a fixed income anything you can do to offset your grocery bill is huge! Perhaps my story will come if I win?
Thank you!!

Kim carter says
Acme is a great place to shop! On several occasions I have gotten special orders from there grocery and diary dept. The managers go out of their ways to make sure they get me through amounts that I need to accommodate my amount of coupons lol. I would love to win this $250 card! Acme is right around the corner from my house!
Ivy Swann says
I love shopping at Acme. They always have awesome deals that you can use your coupons with. I think my best trip there was right after I took your class. My savings was 80% that day. Sience they closed the one in Stevensville I have only been twice but need to get back there because they have the best deals. $250.00 would be a huge blessing right now!
Elle says
I don’t go to Acme that often since it’s not conveniently located near my home but I have had nothing but positive experiences there. The fruits and vegetables were fresh and I got some great deals on different items like detergent and health/beauty items. There is an Acme right near my sister’s home so when I visit her, that’s when I go there. If I actually win, I plan on giving her this gift card since she’s on a fixed income and this would go very far. Thank you!

I entered on Facebook as well. I commented on the FB post and shared on my wall.

A few years ago I went to Acme with just a few coupons. I ran into a woman who showed me how to make so much more of my coupons and my money! So thankful I met maggie miller that day.
Carol Thames says

Dena dukes says
I really don’t have a “acme story” but I LOVE shopping there. It is my main grocery shopping store. I look forward to Friday to see their ad ad see what great bargains I am gonna get that week with my coupons. The fruit and vegetables are always so fresh. The employees are so friendly and helpful. It is just a great store to shop. Boy a $250 card would really help right now. Crossing fingers I win. Also commenting on FB. Thanks
Nikki Oakes says

Sue Haddox says
I was shopping in my local ACME (Centreville store) looking for a particular item when one of the store employees approached me and said “can I help you find something?”. I told him that I had been looking at every package of Pennsylvania Dutch noodles but could not find any bags of Kluski noodles. So he started looking as well and as we searched the shelves I told him about my elderly Father who absolutely loves them in chicken noodle soup (no other noodle will do 😉 ). He said “don’t worry, we’ll get your Dad the right noodles” and walked me up to Customer Service. He explained the situation to them and they offered to order them in for me. I thought that was not only a helpful gesture but a very thoughtful one as well. I always smile or wave when I see him working in the store. He even asked me if my Dad enjoyed his soup!
Linda says
There is an Acme supermarket right near where my daughter lives and when she first moved out of the house and into her own apartment, we went shopping there together to fill her fridge. It was clean, the people were nice and helpful and I was impressed with the prices and quality of the products we got. She shops there all the time now on her own and I’d love to win and give her this card as a surprise!
Linda says
I shared on twitter for another entry.
Dani says
I love shopping at Acme for my groceries. They always have great prices to go with my coupons for amazing deals and the fruits/vegetables are always fresh as well as the deli/fish/cheese section. I go there all the time.
Dani says
I shared #iheartACME on twitter and mentioned you in the tweet.
Mary Lou Fletcher says
I absolutely love the ACME in Easton. They have an incredible variety of products and they very rarely run out of sale items. The produce is always fresh and sometimes I run into special deals that they have passed on to the customer. But that’s not my story. I once bought large 4 boxes of Cherios on a sale and used my coupons (of course) to give me more of a discount. When I got home and checked my receipt (always check before you leave the store) I noticed the I had not been given the sale price, and on further investigation I had picked up the extra large boxes and not the ones on sale. I returned to the store the next day, the sale was over and a new one had started, I wasn’t sure if I could return what I got and get the sale price on the correct size. I was shocked when they gave me the sale price, gave me the the refund and told me to just keep the boxes I had. This is one of many wonderful customer service stories I have for that store and I will continue to enjoy shopping their awesome sales, and use my coupons.
Mary Lou Fletcher says
OK Shared on Facebook and if I can figure out how to use twitter LOL I will put it on there. 😉

My family always shopped at Acme when I was growing up. Now, I know that I can still count on Acme for their excellent product selection, fresh produce and helpful employees.

2nd entry- (Hope I did this correct)
My daughter, age 4, and I were shopping and as we were checking out and Alison was putting the groceries on the belt, the sweet lady behind the register introduced Ali to the banana card. This is a card that allows you a free banana. From that day forward she always ask if I have her banana card and even if bananas are not on our list for that particular trip, she will grab one. She very “adult” like will put her banana up on the belt and she will “pay” with her banana card. She then gives me back the card for safe keeping. The lady that gave her this card did an excellent job at explaining to a 4 year old how the card worked and reminded her to bring it every time we came to the grocery store. The lady went over and beyond with her time and patience. Sometimes I feel super rushed at the checkout line- sometimes the cashier will start scanning the next customers items before I have mine all in the cart, but not this lady. Alison remembers this particular lady and if we see her a the register at check out time, we always go to her lane, no matter the line. This was by far our favorite experience at ACME. Our particular ACME has friendly employees, a extremely clean store, always stocked shelves and fresh produce. Their floral department always has a good selection with plants in all price ranges. What a great giveaway:)

Experiencing your first child’s first birthday is such an emotional roller coaster. It has been 9 LONG (but way too quick) years since my first one turned 1. Such a momentous occasion. I tried to focus on planning all the details of his birthday party so much to avoid a personal meltdown from him becoming a “big boy” and turning one. As a young mom money is always in a shortage so I entrusted Acme to prepare his birthday cake since your child’s first birthday cake is(was?) FREE at Acme!!! I was worried though wondering if the adage “you get what you pay for” would ring true. It was my first experience with Acme’s bakery but definitely not my last the cake was delicious!
Chrissy Pinder says
I have shopped the ACME on Kent Island for roughly 28 years until there closings. ACME was my only store I shopped unless someone had a super coupon deal. There employees were always super nice and had excellent customer service, boy do I miss that store. I frequently visit either the Easton or Centreville ACME. I love there super 10 for 10 deals and sweet meat deals. I especially enjoy there produce and deli selections. HELP BRING ACME BACK!!!
Rebecca Clough says
I have shopped at the Chestertown Acme for years. I love the service I receive from all of the friendly cashiers. The store is easy to navigate and prices are reasonable in our day and time.
Kate says
Acme in Easton provides the best customer service! I drive from Cambridge just to go there. Everyone is always so helpful and friendly. Whenever I ask for assistance no one seems bothered and are always so willing to help. #iheartACME!

There is an Acme very close to my job so I go there very often during my lunch break and use their salad bar. I love the pasta salads that they have and the vegetables are always fresh. I just went there for lunch on Friday actually. I love that place!
Heather Sutherland says
I remember as a kid going to ACME in Annapolis (which is Graul’s now). They had the best deli counter. Maybe that’s because my uncle worked behind it. I mish the everybody knows your name friendly grocery store. I hope I am picked to win the $250. It would take me back to my childhood. Keep up the good work Maggie!
Brandy Warnick says
We LOVE using our coupons! We were on a major coupon spree a few summers ago and we decided to make my father in law an ice cream Sunday basket for his birthday. We had every topping under the sun, bananas, whipped cream, cherries and our pick of ice creams. We made Grandpa’s day, and all of the grandkids too, without spending a ton. We love Acme and its quality fresh ingredients and know if we need it, Acme will have it! #IheartAcme !!!
Linda F. says
I shop at Acme often and am a big couponer and look out for sales and deals and combine them with coupons for great savings. I keep going back to Acme because it’s a great place to shop for groceries and other household items!!! Thanks so much for having this giveaway. Good luck to everyone.
Russ C. says
I used to live on Kent Island and shop with ACME all the time. Love the fried chicken and the deli counter workers. Now I’ve moved across the bridge but I still shop ACME when I go to the beach and return to the shore to see friends in Easton or Centreville. Its a great store . Wish there were more in Maryland.
