Hyvee vs Fareway
- Thread starter ForbinsAscynt

Wife usually starts at Sam’s Club then Aldi’s and finishes at Hy-Vee. It’s more of a social outing for her as she tells me who she ran into.
I just get tired of the grannies and their 40 year old kids moving at a snails pace up and down the aisle. I never get a cart and will grab a plastic tote. I know what I want, get it, and get out.

Aldi's/Walmart for almost everything.
HyVee/Fareway for a couple loose ends (mostly meat).
Saves us $500-$800 per year by not going to HyVee for everything.

10 pages in and I just can't get over the fact that you don't call it Hy-Nese. I mean...it's right there.
Kwik Star for milk, bread, butter and eggs. The rest is based on when we need something and which is closer. Shopping sucks either way.
Aldi/Fareway/Target for most everything. Depending on the items. Used to be almost Target for everything but they keep changing products and have limited options.
Won't step foot into Walmart anymore.
HyVee is a joke. Gotta wonder how they get all that $ to pay endorsement deals to celebrities... oh yeah the prices are super high and over charge. The newer hyvee in ankeny has a great beer selection, the old one is wasted space and filled with too much wine imo.

Closest to where we live is a Walmart. It’s so much cheaper but you have to endure the people of Walmart. Sometimes it’s almost not worth the savings. We only go to HyVee or Fareway in a pinch.
I’ll add Kwik Star for milk, bread, eggs, butter. Cheap prices on this stuff and the quality is good.
I prefer Fareway for most of my groceries. I usually save around $20-$30 per week on my grocery bill compared to Hy-Vee. I also prefer Fareway because I can get my shopping done faster. It takes me almost twice as long to shop at Hy-Vee for the same groceries as Fareway.
In the Hy-Vee vs. Fareway debate, for me, it's Hy-Vee ... but not because of groceries, it's because of their services:
- Fuel saver can be strategically used (almost abused)
- They sell a lot of gift cards which have decent deals at times and occasionally awesome deals (see #1)
- Their customer service counter for money orders, mailing things, etc
Seen it way too many times in this thread, but THERE IS NO "S" AT THE END OF ALDI, PEOPLE!
Wish I was closer to a Target. Have a relative on low sodium diet so when he comes to visit, they have useful products
I prefer Fareway for better prices and meat counter. They also price match HV ads, though covid has caused them to match less items now, especially meat. They price matched everything pre-covid.
I go to both but only buy the ads and a couple things the wife needs.

They’re both examples of Italian cured meats. Pancetta is very similar to bacon but is not smoked. It’s usually used as an ingredient. If you’ve ever had carbonara you’ve probably had it.
