KC Moms: 1 Day left for Hy-Vee Deals!

I apologize for not getting this posted yesterday. Hy-Vee is running some awesome specials through today, Sunday Jan. 17th. You can get some amazing deals if you have time to stop in. Please not, we don't shop the center aisles much, so there are probably some great finds down them as well.

Also, I can't say enough good things about the store at 40 Hwy and Noland Rd. It's really worth the trip for us to go there from Blue Springs. I'll even tell you why. According to my Uncle, who worked for a while as a butcher after he retired from the force, meat department managers are allowed to set their own sales. They have a specific quota to meet (hee hee) and it's up to them how they do it. Well, the meat manager at this location is one smart cookie! He runs 2-3 amazing specials every day (in the past, he's had fresh ground buffalo 2.50/lb and smart chicken for $1/lb for instance). It's always changing and since it is location specific, it's not advertised. he also runs the dairy department, so there are great deals there. Anyway, I save bravo to him! I'm sure he's meeting those quotas just fine from the swarms of people shopping the store.

Sorry no picture for this trip! We did have 8-10 bags of groceries for less than $50 though.
Dairy
Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese 5 for $6 + get a $5 coupon good toward your next transaction - that's like getting 5 bags of cheese for $1! You can only do this deal once per transaction. When Josh and I got there, we each went through the line, bought 5 bags of cheese, got our $5 coupon, and went back to finish grocery shopping!
eggs - large dozen 99¢ w/ coupon in store flyer available at door or online
Horizon Naturals Yogurt Little Blends 4 pack for 39¢ - set to expire on the 19th, but you can freeze them! (this deal may be limited to the location at 40 hwy and noland)
Smart Balance 16 oz sour cream - 78¢ (may be limited to 40 hwy and noland location)
Horizon Organic Eggnog - 99¢ (may be limited to 40 hwy and noland location)
Hy-Vee Orange Juice - 99¢

Frozen
Blue Bell Pints 4/$5 - bit of a splurge for us, but Josh loves them and it is a really great price.

Produce
Bananas - 28¢/lb! (Varying levels of ripeness too)
Jonagold Apples - 69¢/lb
Red and Golden Delicious Organic Apples - 1.18/lb (advertised, but not avail. at 40/noland)

Meat
Smart Chicken Ground - $1/lb (in a tube frozen near dairy at 40/noland)
We are picky on our meats, but I'm sure the 40/noland store is running lots of great specials!

Health Market
Boca burgers - $2.67/package (probably a coupon out there for these)
Kashi single serving Roll bars - $1.20 ea -$1 peelie = 20¢
Hansen soda (select varieties) $3/6pack

So here's a run-down of everything we got and our total cost (please note I was shopping with Josh, so there were some splurges in there that brought our bill up about $10 )
