Hy-Vee Deals of the Week 4/13 – 4/20 This is a list of my favorite Deals of the Week from Hy-Vee. This is not an exhaustive list of everything on sale, just items I find to be a good buy. Make Sure to get their Perks Plus card so you can earn Fuel Rewards that can be used at area Shell Stations. There is also a Premium membership available for about a $99/year that gives you more perks/fuel savings, but I suggest waiting until around Black Friday, when I was able to get my subscription for 1/2 off.

This is a list of the Deals of the Week for Hy-Vee. It's not comprehensive, but it's my faves for this store for this week only. Details--> #Wisconsin #WisconsinConsumer #BargainSleuth #HyVee #FuelSaver #Perks #PerksPlus #GroceryStores #GroceryPrices #Ashwaubenon #DealsoftheWeek

All the Aldi stores I have been in are really clean and bright. And their produce section has improved significantly over the years. Their specialty diet items like almond milk and gluten free bread are great.

OMG, the Aldi Aisle of Shame is calling me this week, which is why I probably won't go there this week. 😏 Some good deals on produce, as usual, and some Aldi Finds in the food department. Details--> #Wisconsin #WisconsinConsumer #BargainSleuth #Aldi #AldiFinds #GroceryStores #DealsoftheWeek

Fresh Thyme Deals of the Week 4/1 – 4/7 Fresh Thyme Grocery Store in Ashwaubenon is a great source for natural/organic products when you don't want to walk a marathon at Woodmans. I frequently buy produce and meats at Fresh Thyme, and I love their yogurt section. This list of my favorite Deals of the Week is compiled from the Green Bay/Ashwaubenon. YMMV at the other locations in Wisconsin.
