How To Make Hy-Vee Price Match on Your Own?
Scanning through Hy-Vee's website, there doesn't seem to be any policy that directly deals with price matching as referred to in this series. Nonetheless, if you conduct an internet search for a "Hy-Vee price matching policy," individual store locations do mention price matching on their websites. For example, Topeka Hy-Vee in Kansas states the following:
"If you find an item in our store at a local retailer for a lower price, let us know and we'll match their price."
There are several stipulations:
- Hy-Vee reserves the right to verify a competitor's price.
- Customers must bring in a printed ad or coupon, or show the digital ad on their cell phone at the time of the match. No screenshots will be accepted.
- The competitor must be located within the city limits.
- Pharmacy items are not included in our price match guarantee.
- Items matched must be identical. This includes size, quantity, brand, flavor, etc.
- No rainchecks will be given for out-of-stock items for a price match.
- We will limit quantities to one per item, per customer.
Other Hy-Vee locations throughout the U.S. also have similar pages of their own. You are advised to research the Hy-Vee location you shopped at for its price matching policies.
