Fuel Saver

If you haven't signed up for the fuel saver card at Hy-Vee, I highly recommend it!! Today alone I earned $.20/gallon for buying carrots, ice cream (yum!!), pork chops, veggies, etc. I have noticed that select brands of orange juice have been on sale weekly plus you earn cash into your fuel saver account. You have one month to redeem your fuel saver money, and you can fill up at Hy-Vee gas stations, Casey's, or Shell! Enjoy!!

E-coupons (Saving Star) at HyVee

HyVee is now (as of June 27, 2011) part of the "Saving Star Network".

In order to take advantage of this, you will need to have a UPromise Card. If you do not have one, you can pick one up at customer service.  (See college savings benefits to a UPromise Card in THIS POST).

Steps to use Saving Star:
1 - Go to Saving Star and create your account (using your UPromise card number)
2 - Select the coupons you want to add to your card
3 - Scan your card at HyVee (your coupons are NOT deducted from your purchase total, they are added to your Saving Star account).
4 - When you reach $5+, you can request a payment in the form of a bank deposit, amazon gift card, paypal...


**Double Bonus - You use both UPromise coupons (to save for college) and Saving Star coupons on your card (your purchase price at the store will NOT go down)

**From what I understand (but I could be wrong), you will be able to use paper manufacturer's coupons on top of the Saving Star coupons.

**Since this program is JUST beginning, most HyVee employees will probably not be able to answer your questions at this time. Be patient. :)

Saving Money for College (For FREE!!)

If you're like me, college for my kids seems like it is a long way off....but if you're like my husband, he was thinking about saving for college BEFORE the girls were even born. We think totally differently, so we make a good team. :)

With a UPromise card, you can earn money for your child's 529 (college savings account) for FREE. You can apply for a credit card, but Dave Ramsey wouldn't approve. (In my opinion, if you can use credit cards WITHOUT spending more than you would with cash and can/do pay them off every month, I think they can work...however, if you can't do that, then they won't save you any money!) OR you can pick up a UPromise card (for FREE) at HyVee's Customer Service counter and use it as a store loyalty card. Select coupons from UPromise's website, and when/if you buy that product, the money is saved for your child's college account. I usually select all of the coupons and scan it every time I shop at HyVee. Sometimes I end up using the selected coupons, other times I do not. I'm not out anything either way. Plus, you can pair those coupons with any manufacturer's and store coupons. :)
Hope you enjoy this, and it works for you! :)
