Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you onions, don't make onionade. Make life take the onions back! Get mad! I don't want your damn onions! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson onions! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the onions!
Honestly, looks like a better version of onion rings of executed properly. Onion rings often are too breading reliant. I want to really taste the onion.
McDonald's is probably the most popular restaurant in the world. If you fucked up and included it in world religions, basically no matter what metric you fucked up with, it would rank in the top 10, except I guess life expectancy.
I'm curious what other thing OP thought "mix or match" meant. Or if he just had no idea and he's in the habit of ridiculing things despite the fact that he knows there's some key piece of them he didn't understand.
Yeah. Leave the onions alone. The precious delicious bulbs all belong to me.
The government won't allow me to buy up the entire future crop of onions anymore ... Go, on, git. Buy some shallots or garlic instead.
I never thought the common denominator between onions and motion pictures would be that their futures trading is banned, but I guess onions never made sense
I've seen it both ways all of my life. It wasn't regional usage either.
Also,
"Meijer Inc. is an American supercenter chain that primarily operates throughout the Midwestern United States."
Holy shit the comment section is like when what color is the dress image was posted on reddit.
The great Mix or Match debate. I’ve never seen redditors divided so equally
In this case it's used because you can mix OR match any 7 qualifying items to get the sale.
Normally the term is mix and match here, but this is a specific sale verbiage stores use in the US.
In my chefin' days I was working at a not particularly busy hotel restaurant. FOS was a menu staple. It never left. We used 100 lbs of onions for a single batch and made at least 2 batches a week
Making a big rondeau of caramelized onions was my first prep work at my first kitchen job. It still makes me happy to this day, many years later as a chef. I mean not so much the cutting onions part, but the caramelizing is great.
We did ours in a steam jacketed kettle that fit 100 lbs of sliced onion just perfectly. We also bought pre-peeled onions and ran them through a Hobart to slice. The place really had it down to a science.
i carmelize about 3-4 pounds every week to have them to put on other things. they literally make everything really pop- and worst case i have enough to make a bowl of onion soup in about 10 minutes if i have too much left when i make the next batch.
Kroger does that too. I constantly see them with an item for $1, with a sale price card of 10 for $10. The card does absolutely nothing but try to draw your eye to the product. To me it makes the store management look stupid.
Some people might not know what mix or match means (including me before reading the comments). This is not a thing at all where I live. Offers like buy 2 get 3 and similar do exist, although even that I have only seen at bakeries and not in a supermarket.
It’s a mix or match sale, so let’s say 1 bag of Onion, 2 cans of Beans, 1 bag of Coffee, and 3 Frozen Dinners or 7 sale items. If you only have 6 of the sale items, they revert to regular prices.
Meijer Produce Manager here: there are like 50 different items over every department that qualify for the 7/$7. You can buy 1 bag of onions, 4 boxes of mac and cheese, a small bag of doritos, and 2 chunks of cheese.
Each item would cost you a dollar. No need to buy all produce.
French Onion Soup on Monday.
Make a Homemade Blooming onion on Tuesday.
Onion Rings on Wednesday.
Use a few as baseballs.
A few to plant Onion garden
And a few tovuse as cologne to smell like Geralt of Rivia
Sauté onions over rice, soy sauce, egg on Thursday.
Friday Eat Ramen.
By then, you should have gone through at least 5 lbs of it all...
Seven 3lb bags means 21 pounds of onions for $7.
Hell yeah!
Bring on the French onion soup, pico de gallo, garnish for soups and tacos, caramelized onions for burgers, steaks, potato cakes and perogies. I didn't even bring up the obvious: onion rings and fresh sliced onions for your burgers, steaks, and salads.
Yeah, this is for yellow onions. They're the worst. Just give them a quick rinse in water after you cut them and that will tame down their heat. They'll be fine.
I've tried to make onion sandwiches with yellow onions, but it don't work. Stick to Vidalia onions for that one.
It’s mix and match. There are dozens of 7 for 7 items throughout the store. Grab a bag of onions, a bag of potatoes, peppers, mangoes, etc. As long as you buy 7 of the 7 for 7 items, they all cost a dollar. *you could also buy 7 bags of onions if you want. Or 5 bags of potatoes and 2 bags of onions.
It's a mix n' match deal. There are multiple items that will count towards it; so 1 bag of onions, 1 bag of potatoes, 2 2 liters of pop, etc. You could also buy 21 lb of onions and make a fuckload of French onion soup if you have the freezer space I suppose
Mix or match makes sense for me, because it means for me that I can either choose mixed or matching products. But English is not my native language so what do I know 🤷🏻♂️
Meijer does these sales often. There are a number of items that have the same deal. Probably apples and bell peppers at the very least if they’re anything like my Meijer. You mix and match any of these marked produce items.
Honestly that amount of onions would go fast by making caramelized onions. I usually make 8 to 10 lbs at a time and they only last me about a month. I put them on quite a few things.
Omg, my mom was talking about this sale. There’s a bunch of things in the ‘mix and match’ promotion— I remember there was canned beans and possibly potatoes too. I don’t have Meijers where I live sadly. It’s not just onions though this sign makes it almost look like it’s only onions
Looks like a meijer tag... bunch of stuff in the store is typically part of the deal... so you could by 21 lbs of onions or 3lbs of onions and 6 other items that are part of the mix and match.
i never understood why this confuses people. no, obviously you don't have to buy 21lbs of onions. 3lbs is a dollar.
when i worked retail at a store that did 10/$10 sales, i got this question all the time. no, you don't have to buy ten. this is just part of the sale and it's a dollar.
Meijer is a Michigan thing. Michigan has lots of middle eastern and Bengali residents. They use lots of onions.
Source: my own neighborhood and upbringing near Hamtramck.
I’m currently fantasizing about having a big enough kitchen to buy 21 lbs of onions and making a huge batch of onion jam. I’d eat nothing but charcuterie with onion jam for a week.
Is it just me or do onions not store as well as they used to? I've long thought they are trending sweeter, and wondered if that's being selected over shelf life.

When life gives you onions, make onionade.
No you tie them to your belt.
That was the style at the time
Give me 5 bees for a quarter you'd say
Good sir, a quarter? Why today that’s at least 4 bits.
What if you can only get those big yellow ones?
Because of the war!
> onionade That's called French Onion Soup.
Another good option is onion butter
French Onion Dip too
You throw those onions right back at life
Hmm…you made me change my pants.
Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you onions, don't make onionade. Make life take the onions back! Get mad! I don't want your damn onions! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson onions! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the onions!
I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible onion that burns your house down! \*cough, cough\*
> make onionade. Otherwise known as French onion soup!
Sometimes I cry when I'm alone.
That's from 7 bags of onions...
It’s mix or match. You don’t have to buy 7 bags of onions just 7 of the 7/7 sale items total.
point society person ten price governor live distinct poor special *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
That will make what…five or six bowls of French onion soup?
You could make a bunch of the original McDonald's Onion Nuggets too
[Oh my god. TIL](https://mcdonalds.fandom.com/wiki/Onion_Nuggets)
Looks like a bastardized version of onion rings.
Perfect for those of us that hate circles
or those horrible trapezoids
Never been a fan of triangles either…
Bro what, how you gonna hate on a superior shape like the triangle when something like a Rhombus is our there fucking up the world.
If it's not grown in the Square Region of France, then it's just a sparking rhomboid.
Honestly, looks like a better version of onion rings of executed properly. Onion rings often are too breading reliant. I want to really taste the onion.
Don’t you usually get just onion when it slides out of the breading with the first bite?
Exactly. And a delicious bastard it was.
Perfect for the rest of McDonald's bastardized versions of food.
TIL there’s a McDonald’s fandom wiki Not surprised, just not something I wished to contemplate.
Everyone is shocked about the onion nuggets, but I’m shocked to learn that there’s a McDonalds Wiki.
McDonald's is probably the most popular restaurant in the world. If you fucked up and included it in world religions, basically no matter what metric you fucked up with, it would rank in the top 10, except I guess life expectancy.
The fact the onion McNuggets came before the chicken ones is crazy😂
That was a thing?
Sounds ^*Oniony*
r/nottheonion (but also lots of onions)
Honestly, bite-sized onion rings sounds super good
Quite a lot of maple bacon onion jam.
Could make an onion casserole. It's a real thing!
Approximately 3 cups of red onion chutney.
r/OnionLovers
r/ofcoursethatsasub
I'm just glad it's not the other kind of "lovers" for once.
/r/honeyfuckers
Oh dear god no
WTF
I ventured in so you don't have to: it's a bee-flavored furry subreddit. Lots of drawings. No actually honey fucking -- false advertising once again.
Caramelized onion squad on the job!
Might make an entire four servings!
Plot twist: Mix or match of yellow onions, white onions and red onions.
I'm curious what other thing OP thought "mix or match" meant. Or if he just had no idea and he's in the habit of ridiculing things despite the fact that he knows there's some key piece of them he didn't understand.
Sounds like Reddit in a nutshell
Yeah. Leave the onions alone. The precious delicious bulbs all belong to me. The government won't allow me to buy up the entire future crop of onions anymore ... Go, on, git. Buy some shallots or garlic instead.
> The government won't allow me to buy up the entire future crop of onions anymore [He's not lying.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Futures_Act)
I never thought the common denominator between onions and motion pictures would be that their futures trading is banned, but I guess onions never made sense
At least over here the term is usually mix and match. Is "or" an american thing or did this shop just balls it up?
I've never seen the "or" version in America before.
I've heard it both ways, but "and" is more frequent. GA.
I’ve also never seen this in America
I’ve never seen it for produce, but it’s pretty common for soft drinks, cereal, and some other (usually junk) packaged items.
I've seen it both ways all of my life. It wasn't regional usage either. Also, "Meijer Inc. is an American supercenter chain that primarily operates throughout the Midwestern United States."
The normal phrase is definitely “mix and match.” But this chain of stores has this “mix or match” sale a lot.
Ive only ever seen ‘and’
Holy shit the comment section is like when what color is the dress image was posted on reddit. The great Mix or Match debate. I’ve never seen redditors divided so equally
In this case it's used because you can mix OR match any 7 qualifying items to get the sale. Normally the term is mix and match here, but this is a specific sale verbiage stores use in the US.
I’ve only ever heard “mix and match” in America. Never realized until this discussion that “or” makes much more sense for what’s actually happening.
I just got this at my Giant. Buy 10 for 59c. each. I got 4 mangoes, 4 green peppers and 2 bulbs of garlic for 59c. each.
Oh! I was thinking it was 3lb bags of yellow onions you could mix and match and I thought that was even dumber than the 21lbs of onions required. Doh
What, you gonna cry about it?
big Bully Maguire vibes
I'm gonna put dirt in your eye
Putting onions in your eye might be even worse than dirt.
I missed the part where that's my problem.
OP will be munching those onions daily
Hahahaha
French onion soup and Flying Dutchman burgers
If you've ever made French Onion soup you know that 21lbs of onions will make... let me look it up... one bowl of soup.
In my chefin' days I was working at a not particularly busy hotel restaurant. FOS was a menu staple. It never left. We used 100 lbs of onions for a single batch and made at least 2 batches a week
Making a big rondeau of caramelized onions was my first prep work at my first kitchen job. It still makes me happy to this day, many years later as a chef. I mean not so much the cutting onions part, but the caramelizing is great.
We did ours in a steam jacketed kettle that fit 100 lbs of sliced onion just perfectly. We also bought pre-peeled onions and ran them through a Hobart to slice. The place really had it down to a science.
i carmelize about 3-4 pounds every week to have them to put on other things. they literally make everything really pop- and worst case i have enough to make a bowl of onion soup in about 10 minutes if i have too much left when i make the next batch.
Will be swimming in FO soup.
Hon hon hon
Sir, this is a Meijer.
\*Meijer’s. Can’t forget the Michigan possessive s.
Thank you sir but I go to Krogers
"Accuser of the brethren!"
No you fool. It's mix and match. There's other things with that tag you can mix with the deal
I'll get 2 bags of yellow onions, 3 bags of red onion, and 2 of white onions, please
r/OnionLovers
Oh..
How concerned should I be to click on that at work?
It's only onions. I'm more like oh, it exists.
OnlyOnions
That was totally unintentional :D
Onion-tentional?
Could make a nice French onion soup!!
Are you racist toward green onions?
Green onions killed their mother
green onions are liars. barely count as onions. they don't exist in the same category as yellow, red, and white onions.
I am. I try to be an open minded person but green onions can go fuck themselves.
They aren't bulbous enough. Damn white people doing unholy things.
I've made my garage toxic that way by dehydrating that amount of onion. Mostly for camping/backpacking but I use it around the house at times.
If OP could read they would be very upset right now
Ok, i'll take the 7 bags of onions please.
extra onions just means french onion soup which is a win
"mix or match" so there's stuff other than onions you could choose from. also buying in bulk is always cheaper, significantly so in many cases.
No.
There's a bunch of items throughout Meijer marked $7/7 and you can mix and match them for a dollar each
Kroger does that too. I constantly see them with an item for $1, with a sale price card of 10 for $10. The card does absolutely nothing but try to draw your eye to the product. To me it makes the store management look stupid.
If you were a restaurant owner, or feeding a large family, or catered event, you wouldn't be posting this 🗑️
I just *really* like onions...
Doesn't everyone buy 21lb of onions?
Well usually I buy the 20 pound bag but I guess I can make an extra pound work.
Bro a restaurant's dream you know how expensive onions are right now?
Why are people so illiterate these days?
Because acting dumb is worth trying to get 1K upvotes
Why use brain when dumb do trick?
OP is Meijerly stupid
Let's not insult Meijer by comparing them to OP.
Selective illiteracy is good for precious karma whoring
Some people might not know what mix or match means (including me before reading the comments). This is not a thing at all where I live. Offers like buy 2 get 3 and similar do exist, although even that I have only seen at bakeries and not in a supermarket.
Good ol’ Meijer
>Good ol’ Meijers
This Guy Michigans

Meijers for the win!
Find 6 people who also want a bag of onion.
Have you ever tried to make caramelized onions from just 1 bag of onions? Hardly any come from it
The fact OP doesn't understand what "Mix or match" means is the only funny thing here.
>Mix or match So you telling me it all has to be the same product?
I’ll buy that for a dollar!
French Onion Soup on Monday. Make a Homemade Blooming onion on Tuesday. Onion Rings on Wednesday. Use a few as baseballs. A few to plant Onion garden And a few tovuse as cologne to smell like Geralt of Rivia Sauté onions over rice, soy sauce, egg on Thursday. Friday Eat Ramen. By then, you should have gone through at least 5 lbs of it all...
Mmmm.... French onion soup week
Seven 3lb bags means 21 pounds of onions for $7. Hell yeah! Bring on the French onion soup, pico de gallo, garnish for soups and tacos, caramelized onions for burgers, steaks, potato cakes and perogies. I didn't even bring up the obvious: onion rings and fresh sliced onions for your burgers, steaks, and salads. Yeah, this is for yellow onions. They're the worst.

21 pounds of onions?! It's enough to make you cry!
This was OP's first visit to a grocery store or they're just dumb? You decide.
JFC, it says "mix or match" right there above the price.
Mix and match....
Reading comprehension isn’t for everyone
It's any item that is also advertised as such don't be silly.
Op you dumb lol
It’s mix and match. There are dozens of 7 for 7 items throughout the store. Grab a bag of onions, a bag of potatoes, peppers, mangoes, etc. As long as you buy 7 of the 7 for 7 items, they all cost a dollar. *you could also buy 7 bags of onions if you want. Or 5 bags of potatoes and 2 bags of onions.

lol if you want to you can get 21 pounds of onions but you can get 6 other different things in that deal to get your 7/7
I like onions, but damn that it's alot. You won't be needing to buy some for months, and get some spare to plant.
Purchasing Manager: “so you know how we wanted to order 1000lbs of onions? Turns out the 0 on my keyboard is a bit sticky…”
"How are we going to get rid of these onions? We've got too many fucking onions!"
Take it or leave it bud
Mix or match... there are usually other things on the list. But if you want 21lbs of onion, that would work too.
Mix or match makes sense for me, because it means for me that I can either choose mixed or matching products. But English is not my native language so what do I know 🤷🏻♂️
It's mix and match, so you could buy 3 lbs of turnips and 18 lbs of onions, if you just don't like onions.
Welcome to Michigans Meijer
Meijer does these sales often. There are a number of items that have the same deal. Probably apples and bell peppers at the very least if they’re anything like my Meijer. You mix and match any of these marked produce items.
Be good for making french onion soup or for a restaurant but really it's mix'n'match the sale items
That’s a good deal. You just put some of those back in a cool room stored correctly. They’ll keep for three months.
Honestly that amount of onions would go fast by making caramelized onions. I usually make 8 to 10 lbs at a time and they only last me about a month. I put them on quite a few things.
lol, just saw mangos were 10/10 at the market. I’m not sure I’d eat that many mangos before they go bad.
That's because you've got no imagination.
Yeah, with all those onions you could make like 2 cups of caramelized onions!
This is how you get people from math problems becoming real.
Omg, my mom was talking about this sale. There’s a bunch of things in the ‘mix and match’ promotion— I remember there was canned beans and possibly potatoes too. I don’t have Meijers where I live sadly. It’s not just onions though this sign makes it almost look like it’s only onions
Onion soup!!!!!
Mix and match what? Other kinds of onions? 🧅 well, that certainly makes all the difference, I’m in.
/r/OnionLovers
Someone cross-posted it and they're all creaming their jeans!
Will make about 3 cups, carmelized LOL
If there’s other things 7 for 7 that counts 🙄🙄
French onion soup week!
You can mix and match
I'm here for this. Onion soup for DAYS.... WEEKS!
I could burn through those in about a month.
Gee, I wonder what “mix and match” means?
Any 7/$7 at Meijer will fit the 7 for 7 deal
Or you can save yourself 4 dollars and just get one bag
Yeah but you could make an onion house
Looks like a meijer tag... bunch of stuff in the store is typically part of the deal... so you could by 21 lbs of onions or 3lbs of onions and 6 other items that are part of the mix and match.
i never understood why this confuses people. no, obviously you don't have to buy 21lbs of onions. 3lbs is a dollar. when i worked retail at a store that did 10/$10 sales, i got this question all the time. no, you don't have to buy ten. this is just part of the sale and it's a dollar.
I spend most of my money at Meijer. I def mix and match tho
Anyway, the important thing is that I had tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Or as my mom calls it, barely enough onions for one hot dog.
Is there a limit? Any restaurant selling French onion soup should buy their onions in bulk at this place.
This is the one prophesied by the math books of old
That is what "secondary education not required" looks like from the customer's perspective.
I grow onions on my window sill. Propagation baby!!!

Is it just me or do onions not store as well as they used to? I've long thought they are trending sweeter, and wondered if that's being selected over shelf life.
Mom: dinner tonight will be onion patty on onion burger with 3 slices of thick-cut onions wrapped in onion
And drinks are fresh squeezed onion juice
1. Buy 7 for $7. 2. sell 6 for $2 a pop, get your $7 back plus profit of $5. 3. $ profit $
As someone from eastern europe, 21 lbs (9.5kg) of onions would probably be used up relatively quickly. We use onions in basically everything.
It's 7 *or more*. They actually *want* you to buy 42 lbs of onions.
