Sioux Center Hy-Vee Trip 11/21

I went to Hy-Vee tonight after teaching in Hawarden (great turn out by the way) and had a few things on my list. I needed milk, which they had on sale. I needed butter, I wanted to see how much grief they gave with price matching-->P.S. it was no trouble at all, they were very compliant. I also wanted to take advantage of the buy a ham and get a turkey free sale. Plus one more thing, what was that? Oh yes. 160 M&M candy bars. Yes, you just read correctly. I said one-hundred and sixty candy bars. Insane, I know.

 I got all these things no problem, I actually sent a me sage to Mike, the store manager at Sioux Center Hy-Vee, super great, fantastic guy who is nothing but an asset to that store might I add. He took the time to count 160 candy bars out for me, store them in a box and then reserve them as the customer service counter with my name on it. (incorrectly spelled. Sad face.) Besides the point. So, I wandered the store because sometimes there are sneaky sales and then made my last stop and the mark down cart. They had some great name brand products in there which I suggest going in and taking advantage of!

I found Mt. Olive relish on mark down for $1-had a $1/1 Mt. Olive product from SS 11/17 (x 12/29)-->there were a few of these left!
I also found Hormel compleats breakfast bowls on mark down for $.50 each and I had a $1.50/3 coupon from SS 11/10 (x 1/06).-->there were only 3 of these.

The candy bars totaled up to $40 alone, but that's okay, I had coupons which made them all FREE. And no they weren't fake coupons, they all rang up legit. They were on a tear pad at a gas station.
I also used the store coupon for by a ham get a turkey free and used my MQ for $2/1 Hormel Cure 81 ham.
I won't play the game where I make you guess because I am just too excited to wait for everyone lol. My total before coupons came up to $87.35.
After PMing, store coupons and MQ, I paid a total of $28.95 OOP. That's a 67% savings!!!!
