This store is apparently having a Re-Grand opening sale!  I don't have a flyer but I do know that Grapes are .99/lb. and so are strawberries!

More Hy-Vee deals!

Hy-Vee also has some other deals I saw yesterday:

  • Dr. Pepper/ 7-up 12 packs were on sale for 1.99
  • Pilgram's pride frozen chicken breasts 2.5lb bag 3.97!
  • Wonder Bread .99 cents! (price of Aldi bread)
  • Assorted Canned veggies .33 cents!  (Aldi runs around this price)
  • Little Debbie snacks .88 cents!
  • Grands biscuits .99 cents!
  • 5lb bag of Russet potatoes are .99 cents!
Lets hope these deals keep coming and don't ware off:)

Hy-Vee 5/14-5/20

I wasn't so sure about this new Hy-Vee coming to Topeka because I knew they did not double coupons (one of my favorite aspects of Dillons)  This week however, I am impressed.  While Hy-Vee may not double coupons, they have prices on items I have never seen so low!  So here it goes:

  • Dole Broccoli Bunch 1.18/1  (these used to be .99/1 at Aldi, but I have not seen that price in a while)
  • Birds Eye Frozen Veggies .88/1  use 1$/2 coupon to make these .38/bag or a 1$/3 coupon to make these .55/bag (these were printable a few weeks back)  
  • Hyvee Chicken Breasts are 1.99/lb
  • Dannon Light and Fit plus yogurt 4 pack 2/4- use 1/1 coupon to make these 1/pack!
  • Yo Plait yo plus yogurt 4 pack 2/4- use 1/1 coupon to make these 1/pack!
  • Duncan Hines cake mix is on sale .88/1 and DH frosting is 1.38/1  Buy both and use the .75/1 cake mix and frosting coupon to get both for 1.51 
  • Hy-Vee 12 oz. cottage cheese is .98/1 (note:  24 oz of this at Aldi usually runs for over 2$)
  • Hy-Vee 80z. sour cream is 2/1 
  • Green Peppers are 2/1 (note: Great deal!)
  • Dole ice berg lettuce is .79/1  (Aldi usually runs this price too)
  • Blackberries are 1.88/5.6 oz container (I don't think I have seen them this cheap- only if they are manager special because they are getting ready to go bad)
  • Ball Park Franks are 2/3 (Best Deal I have seen)  Now combine coupons and get the best deal ever!  Go here to get 1/1 coupons make these .50/1!
  • Fast Fixin Chicken 10/10 (same deal as Dillons- check this post for the coupons that make these FREE!)
  • Health Choice meals 10/10 with in-add coupon- go here for 1/2 coupons making them .50/1!!!  There were also coupons in the paper a few weeks back with 1/2 coupons
  • Ziplock bags are 2/3- use 1/2 coupon to make them 2/2 ( good price for quality bags!)
  • Pillsbury Brownie Mixes 10/10
  • Hyvee Catsup is .97/1 (Aldi's runs .99/1)
  • Ben and Jerry's ice cream pints are 2/5- go here for 1/2 coupon making them 2/1!  (note these usually run 2.50-3.50 at most stores)
Please feel free to comment on other good deals you noticed and ones I may have missed!

Dillons 5/14-5/50

I will be honest and say I did not notice much this week, but here are the best finds.  Remember also that Dillon's will double coupons up to 1$.  So a .50 coupon becomes a 1.00, a .40 coupon becomes .80 and so forth.

  • Post Cereals are on sale 4/10.  When you buy 4 you will get an automatic 4$ taken off your total making this deal 4/6 or 1.50/box.  Pretty good buy.  Make it better by using coupons.  There are 1/1 coupons out there making them .50/box or 1/2 coupons making them 1/box. (note:  Cereal at Aldi tends to run 1.50/box and higher)
  • Kroger sour cream is 10/10 (note:  You do not have to buy 10 to get this price, also sour cream at Aldi is .99/1 and I prefer to buy it at Kroger for the 1$ price so it counts toward my gas purchase)
  • Private Selection ice cream pints are 10/10
  • Land O' Lakes butter spreads are 1.49/1  use a .30/1 coupon doubled to .60/ 1 and these are .89/1
  • Egos are 1.22/1  (best price I have seen for Egos in a while- if you prefer name brand)
  • Fast Fixin Chicken 10/10  go here to sign up for 1$ coupons making these FREE!  If I remember right 5 coupons will print out for you.
If you have questions please feel free to comment and I will try to answer them.  If you notice deals that I did not post- please post those!

The Purpose

I have always wanted to start a blog but never knew what to write about.  Every week I tend to email some friends and tell them the best grocery buys at surrounding stores.  So this week I decided to create a blog that anybody could look at so no one would miss out.  My goal with this blog is to post mainly about current Dillon's and Hyvee deals.  The add runs from Wednesday- Tuesday every week.  My goal will be to post every Wednesday on what I think are the best buys.  I usually base what I think is a best buy on what I know to be the best price I have ever paid (usually at Aldi)  I know that Walmart does frequently have lower prices, however I make a it a goal to not have to go there.  It is a store that has business that overwhelms me to my max.

The deals I post probably run for surrounding areas as well, such as Manhattan and Lawrence. Their adds tend to be the same.

So it looks like I finally have something to blog about!  I hope you benefit from this and it becomes a blessing to your grocery budget!
