You need to head to HyVee TODAY!
I just got back from HyVee and had to share all the details of today's produce haul. I paid just $14.33 for all this produce! Keep reading! I'm going to tell you exactly what I did and explain how you can do exactly the same thing!
My super savings strategy today was a combination of HyVee sale items,
price matched items from other local stores, and putting all these
amazing fruits and veggies into HyVee's special 20% off produce bag.
Savings Strategy #1: 20% Off Produce Bag TODAY ONLY!
This deal is good TODAY ONLY, Monday, January 28th. The minute you walk into your local HyVee today, I want you to look for this bag. You'll see them stacked in prominent locations throughout the produce aisles. If you don't see any, ask a store associate for a produce bag.

| A Close Up of HyVee's Produce Bag |
It's all a part of HyVee's new "Make My Monday" program. Each Monday, they offer a special 20% off bag in a specific department of the store. This week, it's produce. You'll see that I posted a close up of the colorful flyer attached to the front of the paper shopping bag. This is a generous sized bag! I was able to get every item shown at the top of this post in that bag!
So, exactly how much did I save by simply putting my produce items in this special bag?
My 20% off savings was $7.71!
Savings Strategy #2: Price Matching
I wrote two posts last week about the fact that HyVee is now offering price matching. This post tells you all the details of the program. I share with you my experience in price matching at HyVee in this post.
I cannot tell you how much I am LOVING this program! The convenience of getting all my groceries at ONE store, instead of multiple stores, is absolutely amazing! I'll show you each item that I had price matched and tell you which store flyers I used.
Aldi Price Matches
Aldi is currently offering strawberries at $1.39 per pound. This price match alone saved me $10.44 on three pounds of berries!
I had HyVee price match these green grapes for just $1.29 per pound. My savings was $2.80.
Save-A-Lot Price Match:
Red grapes were price matched for just $1.29 per pound. My price match savings was $3.42.
Strategy #3: HyVee Sale Items
HyVee is offering two not-to-be-missed produce deals this week! Remember, I received an additional 20% off of these sale prices simply by placing these items into one of the produce bags.
Cauliflower for just $.99 a head! This is an amazing deal! They were nice-sized, very white and fresh looking heads of cauliflower.
With the 20% discount, each head of cauliflower was just 80¢! What a tremendous deal!
FREEZING REMINDER: Cauliflower is super easy to blanch and then freeze. Here are detailed blanching instructions. If you want to eat 80¢ per head cauliflower for the next several months, then head to HyVee, stock up TODAY, and then freeze your cauliflower! I can't imagine a lower price anytime soon!
RECIPE: BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS: Make buffalo cauliflower wings for your Super Bowl party! Fat Man's Buffalo Wings is our favorite! Here's a YouTube link. In fact, his entire cookbook is a family favorite. I did a review of Meals Made Easy: Fat Man's Essential 40 Plant Based Recipes.
This is the BEST price in town on mandarin oranges! 3 pounds for $1.99! Today's 20% discount reduces the price of each bag to just $1.60! I got 6 pounds.
I get these nearly every time I am in HyVee! Look on the "Misfit" shelf and you'll find 5 pounds of sweet potatoes for just under $4.00! With the 20% off, that makes this bag just $3.20!
We have a serious love affair with sweet potatoes in my house. We just roast and serve. No need to add any sugar or marshmallows! Sweet potatoes, in their natural form are a power house of fiber and a whopping 438% of your Vitamin A for the day!
RECIPE: SWEET POTATO HUMMUS: If you want even MORE fiber, combine sweet potatoes with chickpeas in this easy (and delicious) homemade hummus recipe! We like to spread homemade hummus on tortillas, add some toppings, and roll up for an easy and nutritious lunch!
The bottom line! So, how did I do?
Cost without any discounts: $38.70
Total Price Match Savings: $ 16.66
Additional 20% off Produce Bag Savings: $7.71
TOTAL SPENT: $14.33
Percentage Saved: 63%!
