Hy-Vee is a regional grocery chain, mostly through the midwest. Where I’m at it’s considered a premium priced store. But with that premium you get a huge variety of available products. The bigger stores have the best selection by far of everywhere I can reasonably shop. If you’re in the same situation, it’s well worth the time to figure out how to get your best prices with them by couponing at Hy-Vee!


Loyalty Program

Your first move, as always, is to sign up for their store rewards – the Fuel Saver Card. Unless you don’t buy gas and don’t want to share your points with anyone who does, then it doesn’t really offer you any kind of bonus. 

Certain items will offer you cents off your gallon of gas. When you buy those things your cents accumulate. When you fill your tank (up to 20 gallons) you get however many cents you’ve earned off EVERY gallon of gas. Your lowest possible gas price is 1 cent per gallon, and I know plenty of proud midwesterners who’ve told the tales of their 1 cent fill ups! Fuel saver points can only be redeemed at certain gas stations, and they expire quickly – usually lasting 1 month – so be sure to keep careful track of them so you don’t waste any.


Sales and Other Discounts

In most Hy-Vee adjacent areas, you’ll get ads in your mailbox every week whether you like it or not. If you’re not getting your ads, be sure your Fuel Saver account has your home address associated with it. You can also see them on their website, if you don’t get them in paper form. These ads will have lots of sales, discounts, and fuel saver offers. I always go through them right away looking for the best deals, especially on meat (if you eat meat, of course). Their meat prices are usually quite high, but with the right sale you can find some excellent discounts.


Newspaper and App Coupons

Next up is to compete their sales with your Sunday insert coupons. Anywhere you can stack a coupon on a discount? Doubling up your discounts will usually get food prices down substantially.

Couponing at Hy-Vee - Major brand foods you can save money on.

And, as always when buying any major brand food, check in with your Ibotta app. There may be things on there that stack with sales or your Sunday coupons, and again, stacking deals is how you get your best prices. Guard your receipt with your life (as always), and expect to have to scan some food barcodes when you redeem – Hy-Vee’s coupons don’t load in as automatically as some other large chain store’s do.


Bulk Bins

Most Hy-Vee stores have between an okay and an absolutely amazing bulk bin assortment. It’s always worth it to price compare against packaged, but some bulk bins have great prices on foods. Many bulk bins also include foods that aren’t readily available pre-packaged, which can offer some variety to your meals. At my stores their bulk bins often have unusual varieties of dried beans and lentils – which are tasty and packed with nutrition – that I typically can’t find on the shelf anywhere else.

Hy-Vee is an expensive place to do all your shopping (I like to split my shopping between them and Aldi), but a great place to find some excellent deals and some interesting ingredients to mix up your meals with new things. If you’re on your couponing game it’s a great stop to add to your shopping trips!
