Well, I finally made it over to the New Hy-Vee at Stoney Brook and 144th Street, and all I can say is WOW! That is one heck of an upgrade from the store at Oak View mall (which is the one Stoney Brook is replacing).   Also, I want to mention that I LOVE Grand Openings-while I was there yesterday, they announced a quick 30 minute (or while supplies last) sale on ground beef for only $1.49/lb. I stocked up on that (there was plenty to share around). Awesome!

I have already told you about the sales going on this week, and about the FREE Hot Dogs at the Gas Station on Saturday May 22, but I will repeat that information at the end of this post.

Right now though I want to tell you about the Kids Club at the new Stoney Brook Hy-Vee. First of all, membership in Kids Club is FREE. When I walked in yesterday, they had a table set up to sign kids up, and each of my kids got a pretty good sized bag of popcorn (in a sealed plastic wrapper), and a sucker. And in the future, if you sign your kids up for the Kids Club, the kids will get:

• 6 free cupcakes on their birthday
• Monthly kids offers mailed to them
• Eat FREE on Tuesdays with an adult meal purchase at any of the following eating locations in the store: Italian, Chinese Express, Kitchen, Deli, or Salad Bar
• Special Activities every Saturday from 10 am- 2pm
• FREE treats every time you visit the store

The FREE treats are awesome! Here they are listed by department:

• Italian: Free kids slice of cheese pizza (What?! Sounds like lunch to me...) 
• Chinese: Free piece of Sweet and Sour Chicken
• Kitchen: Free piece of candy
• Deli: Free slice of Cheese
• Bakery: Free cookie
• Meat: Free picture to color
• Pharmacy: Free sticker
• Front End: Free sucker
• Customer Service: Free toy
• Floral: Free balloon
