A friend of mine pointed this out at the Hy-Vee on sunshine to me a few months back and now I can’t unsee it. I’ve gone back to going clear across town to the other Hy-Vee because I’ve been finding food that’s now nearly a year out of date on the shelves. I know it’s probably fine in most cases, but it’s frustrating coming from a brand new store. I picked up cheese there last month and the entire under side was moldy as hell, picked up another and same issue. I decided cheese wasn’t for me that day lol

I had this issue at the Hy-Vee on Battlefield. I was buying yogurt and an entire shelf of yogurt was bad. I pulled all the bad ones off to the side and flagged down an employee to tell them. I hardly shop at Hy-Vee anymore either though. I almost always use grocery pick up now and Target has the superior grocery pick up in my opinion.

I went into the Hy-Vee on sunshine to grab some steaks and just for curiosity sake checked to see if they removed an item I let them know was expired by about 10 months. Nope. But they stocked more that was now 13 months off lol They literally stocked new items that had been expired by at least a year at that point. I get that don’t check every single item, I’m sure, but ugh. It was disheartening after the sheer number of items I had been finding leading up to not going anymore. it’s not a cheap store to start with to get food that’s so out of date so frequently.

I agree, Hy-Vee is one of the pricier stores in my opinion. So is pricecutter. So going in and spending MORE money to get expired products is just simply not worth it. About the only thing I shop there for anymore is their produce because I will give them that their produce selection is unmatched (Editing for spelling)
