As a tenured couponer, this Examiner has touted on many occasions the advantages of couponing at HEB here in Central Texas; they have many opportunities for staking, offer many catalina coupons and boast great sales. One less often discussed, but equally important advantage is their points rewards program.
Quarterly, HEB mails out point rewards checks based upon the total number of points accrued by a customer. Points are earned by purchasing qualifying items and using occasional catalina and store issued coupons for 3X and 5X points per purchase. In addition to the cash vouchers the store also includes special coupons for highly discounted items, points earned multiplier coupons and even free items.
What is even more exciting than this program at first glance is the fact that you accrue points for items even if you get them cheap or free with your use of manufacturer and in-store coupons. This Examiner shops at HEB twice a month spending out of pocket $200-$250 each trip after overall savings averaging from $70-$100. This translates into $540-$700 spent in-store each month. While it takes quite a few in store HEB points to accumulate a useful monetary reward, at this rate this Examiner racked up $22 in rewards for the last quarter.
Now consider the Examiner’s average coupon savings of $70-$100 per trip plus $22 in store cash vouchers—does this get your heart racing? As a couponer it should! This sets a savvy couponer up for a, awesome next couponing trip.
So take this into consideration Central Texas couponers next time you set out to make a big couponing purchase. HEB offers a great atmosphere for larger grocery and personal item savings.
