Why does nobody ever post HEB deals?

[Doglover8180]

It's been over a month since there have been any posts about HEB deals or hot finds. Why does nobody ever post in here? HEB is a big name brand grocery store. Just wondering

Sadly, It's hard to make great deals at HEB because of their in store coupons. You can't combine their coupon with a manu coupon so trying to find a deal worth talking about seems far in between. I shop there a lot, because they are close, but I don't find many good deals. I hate that because they could be "that" store, but they don't double or triple coupons, and of course their whole yellow store coupon thing!

I thought I read somewhere that they do stack coupons (Manufacturer with their in-store) They don't?

Oh no they won't let you. I know a lot of people try to get away with it, but it is against their store policy. HEB FAQ and Coupon Policy (updated) It's sad because I think HEB is really letting it slip away.

I still dont understand why no oone posts the deals - lots of stores dont double or triple coupons or stack coupons - Walmart - and they still have great deals. Are the deals just not that great at HEB? I always thought they were supposed to be one of the cheapest grocery stores, no?

I like HEB (especially the big ones with the delis) and shop there often because A) it's very close to me (even though it's one of the smallest stores) and B) I use a lot of non-name brand items but it's true - I don't think I've ever gotten a killer deal there. There are still enough decent buys to keep me going every week though. T-bones for $3.99/pound this week, etc.

When they have the "buy this, get these free" they seem like a good deal but it's always stuff I wouldn't or don't want to use, they don't tell you the price of the "buy this" item and our store is very small so it never carries all the items in the deal.

And no way, no how do they let you stack. One thing that drives me nuts about their ad - I know other stores do it sometimes too but I see this every single week with HEB - is they will advertise an item without the price and say "save $1 with in-store coupon." Well what is the price BEFORE the coupon so we can determine if our coupon or theirs is better?

All that said, I still like HEB.

What MrsPinecone said. It isn't only the mods who can/should post things. HCW can't exist without input from everyone who uses it.

For me it's hard to post great deals when I personally have not found a lot of great deals there for awhile. Like I said before I hate that because I want to go there and find smokin' deals in some ways I really do like HEB. They are cheaper on a lot of things than even Wal-Mart. Buy milk and get bread for free is a good deal, but it's not anything over the top so I guess in my head it's not worth talking about ... maybe I am wrong??

I've noticed that HEB does ALOT of the Buy this and get these 4 items free. Well, when I get those 4 items free, I may only want 1 of those four items or maybe none at all. I'd rather get the item for less and theykeep their 4 freebies because you don't get to pick your freebies and alot of times it's a bunch of random stuff that is all over the place - those aren't a great deal to me... cause very very rarely do I even want half of the freebies that you get when you buy Item X.
