Tonight, I stopped at Hyvee for a short little shopping trip.
I had planned to do a better shopping trip then this, but I did not read the fine print.
Don’t you hate the fine print?
Well anywho, I thought you could buy 6 cans of each different kind of vegetable on sale. I also thought you could buy 4 of each kind of flavor of soup.
Nope!
It was 6 cans of vegetables, Total, and 4 cans of soup, Total. I asked the manager, which was a former student of mine, why was there such a stingy limit if they were advertising this as a CAN-TACULAR sale.
I was a little PE-ODE-TACULAR.
He said the advertising comes from the corporate office.
Being the nice young man that he is, he offered to let me buy more using seperate transactions. By, this time I had put the extra cans back on the shelf and did not want to start over. It really was ok, I will try to go back tomorrow and stock up a little bit more….6 cans of vegetables and 4 cans of soup at a time : ) I still love Hyvee….but not feeling the love so much for the corporate office.
Here is what I bought:
3 cans of corn
3 cans of peas
3 cans of tomato soup (I only got 3 cause my coupon said 40 cents off of 3)
6 cans of mandrian oranges
1- 1/2 gallon of ice cream
Coupons I used:
$1.00 off of the ice cream
2 – $1.00 off of 3 cans of oranges
.40 cent off of 3 cans of soup.
Total amount spent was $8.71.
Total amount saved was $5.53.
That is OK-TACULAR by me.
Total amount spent on groceries this week is $33.50.
Total amount saved is $31.85.
I have $41.50 left in my grocery budget to spend this week.
Have you saved anything this week using coupons?
Happy Couponing!

Hehe, those limits can catch you 😉 We like Hy-Vee… but we’re biased since that’s where my husband works 😉
I haven’t done any couponing yet. But you’re posts have got me looking at it. I just signed up for some of the magazines I use to get that have good coupons. Caught All You on their last day of the two for one sale. Looking to see if anyone we know is selling those mid Missouri passport books for a fundraiser… I don’t suppose your school is? If we can’t find someone I’m just going to order it off the site. We haven’t gotten it for a couple years, but last time we did the book more then paid for itself. Had several $5 off however much at different grocery stores in town. Hope they still have those!
The elementary schools sold those passport books way back in October I think. Hyvee does not have the $5 coupons in it anymore. I still buy one each year (cause oldeest grand girl sold them). Try calling Shepard Elementary and see if they have any left.
Funny that your hubby works at Hyvee…hehe….I still love Hyvee! It is the store with a friendly smile in every aisle!
That’s too bad they don’t have those anymore. Hopefully they have others we can use anyways. Found out that Rock Bridge Elementary is about to start selling them so ordered from the site choosing the school to order through. It looks like you were actually at my husband’s store, I can’t see perfectly, but I think the receipt says 1082 on the email for the director. Small world!
I was at the Hyvee by Sam’s. It is a small world! Glad you were able to find the coupons books! Even though they do not have the grocery coupons anymore, I am able to use a ton of coupons out of the book.
