Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I like the 73/27 stuff. Picked up six 3lb tubes for $3.99 each recently. They mark it down sharply when maturity date approaches. I freeze it.
85% is perfect. Your diet likely needs more fat in it, and fewer carbohydrates.
(Laughs silently to myself, rubs hands together expectantly.)
No arguments here. I don’t know if fat from ground beef is the correct fat choice, but it’s something!
You guys are crazy. For me, I appreciate the convenience of being able to get produce, bath bombs, children's jewelry, plants, deli meat, upgrade my phone plan, do my taxes, play arcade games, buy a used vehicle, have a dermatology exam, play 9 holes of golf, get a coffee, watch a demonstration on expensive cookware, obtain a home equity loan and go to marriage counseling all at one location.
If i could find the courage to reduce carbs in my diet i would no doubt be a healthier individual.85% is perfect. Your diet likely needs more fat in it, and fewer carbohydrates.

You are exactly right and I am glad that I discovered this 5 years ago while still in my late 20s. Carbohydrates and super processed foods are what are killing people. Natural fats from animals and clean fats from avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil are not only very good for your brain but your whole body. Soybean oil, canola oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable oil ---all poison.85% is perfect. Your diet likely needs more fat in it, and fewer carbohydrates.

Throw in a questionable massage parlor and I'd never leave.
En fuego when you grill it as burgers. Holy cow! I had just cleaned my grill and glad I stuck around for the pyrotechnics!
It sounds great, but it's pretty rich. I could only eat a half before my stomach started open rebellion.
But I tried many many times
Word on the street is that Hy-Vee's Aisles online is now charging 5% more than the stores. Some sale items are excluded. Seems like a really bad idea for a company that's already overpriced and charges a yearly fee. I'm sure it won't deter my wife.
You are right, process foods kill and seed oils are very bad for you. But some clarification on carbs. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, oatmeal, fruit, black beans, rice, quinoa, chick peas, etc.. DO NOT KILL AND DO NOT MAKE YOU FAT. If you have type two diabetes or insulin resistance then to much fat is the issue, not carbs. The advice that a lot of type 2 diabetics get is to eat low carb. All that does is control the symptom and it suppresses insulin, which is not exactly a good idea. I won't go into extreme detail, but insulin is a vital hormone and not evil, to suppress it is not healthy long term. On top of that, eating low carb does not exercise the blood sugar metabolism, in other words it gets out of shape and lazy. Yes, you will walk around with a low A1C on low carb, but your insulin resistance will actually be a lot worse. If you were to take a glucose tolerance test, you would fail miserably.
So, what to do to actually correct the problem? First, the reason the blood sugar is high is because there is to many lipids in cells that wouldn't normally have a lot of them. You could be fit and still be insulin resistant if cells like muscle cells have too many lipids. What happens when you eat something is your pancreas will release the insulin to go grab the glucose molecule to drop it off to the cell. However, the cell tells the insulin and glucose to beat it, it won't let it in because there is already an energy source (lipids) in the cell, it won't let the glucose in. With nowhere to go, the blood sugar stays high. Sensing there is still glucose floating around, the pancreas releases more insulin. The lipids in the cell have to be lowered to make room for the glucose. So eating a low fat diet, that is high in whole food cards, allows the lipids to leave the cell and exercises and conditions the blood sugar metabolism to work correctly. Plus it is healthy. You still should eat healthy fats, but depending on how big you are it has to be limited to 30 to 40 grams per day. Of course exercise also helps with insulin resistance.

That would match what a lot of restaurants are doing (which isn't any better).
We stopped using Hy-Vee for that forever ago. Turns out that Wal-Mart actually gets the right items and communicates about the ones they can't fill. Somehow in all this, Wal-Mart is becoming the example of customer service done well. It's weird.
Aisles Online is BLEEDING money for Hy-Vee.. I would probably do the same though as the convenience of doing all of your shopping online, at 10 PM with an 8 AM pickup is pretty sweet.
With a new Fareway next to us.. We haven't shopped at Hy-Vee in over a month.. Savings are less than we hoped for on food, but we get a lot less "other" items because they are not offered at Fareway, so saving $$$ that way

When I compare products, I usually don't see much of a price difference between Hy Vee and Fareway. I started shopping at Fareway more because I would notice my grocery bill was $20-$30 less a week when shopping at Fareway. That reduced cost must be from the savings on "other items".
I've had good luck with Fareway's grocery pickup. Once I arrive at the parking spot, I have my groceries loaded with a couple of minutes.
Online grocery shopping helps me save money because it forces me to stick to my grocery list, plan my meals more and reduce impulse purchases. Those cost savings are likely why the aisles online business is hurting for Hy-Vee.
with baby # 3 on the way in a couple of weeks, we are trimming our budget and have started to use Wal-Mart online grocery shopping. I agree that somehow Wal-Mart's customer service with online groceries is better than Hy-Vee.
We've mostly replaced HyVee with Aldi's and Fareway. Outside of grabbing some items for Easter dinner, we've don't often shop there. Outside a few items, I'm not a brand person anyway, so whatever is available usually works for me. I've been happy with the fruits and veges we get from Aldi's so far too.
The smaller store size can be an issue depending on what time we go, but many times is mitigated by faster check-out. Clerk or self check out at HyVee takes too long.
