How To Find Unadvertised Sales At HEB (Without Wasting Gas!)

UPDATED July 31, 2019!

Wouldn't it be great if you could figure out how to track down the hidden, unadvertised sales that pop up every week at HEB?

Just picture it -- for once, you'd be the first couponer on the scene, beating out all the other shoppers in your store to all the best deals!

And you could do it without wasting loads of gas or turning couponing into a full-time job.

Sounds like a terrific idea, right?

Well, I totally know how to do it.

And I'm going to show you how to do it too.

So here's my secret trick...and it's an incredibly basic one.

I visit this link every Wednesday morning.

That link lets you pull up the ENTIRE list of sale items available in our stores each week -- hundreds more than fit in the regular weekly ad.  Here's a photo below so you can see what it looks like.

I personally sort Low to High so I can find things super duper cheap, but that's just a preference.  You could also choose to sort by category to make deals that work for you and your family easier to spot.

If you haven't visited the full HEB website before (which is different than the mobile app), be prepared to have to Set Your Store first before you can pull up the complete list of sale items.  You can choose the store you most frequently visit, or a store near your school, church, or work -- whatever works for you!

Why Wednesday?  

Well, HEB runs a new weekly ad Wednesday through the following Tuesday.  So since sale items change out on Wednesdays, that is the BEST day to start hunting those extra deals!

NOTE: I strongly recommend hunting your unadvertised deals on a desktop or a laptop computer.  

You CAN access this link on your phones, but it's going to be an itty-bitty screen and probably won't load as fast as it will on a laptop, desktop, or tablet.

Also, keep in mind that some of these prices may NOT be available at all stores.  And no, HEB will not price-match itself at other neighborhood stores.  

So if you find a great deal listed at the store near your work, for example, you'll need to go there to track down the merchandise.  You will NOT be able to show the sale price at the store near your home and get the same price.

Find something amazing and you want all of them you possibly can get?  Tap the link under the item you're interested in.  On that second screen, there's another link to find other stores in your area that carry the same product.

Here's an example below.  This is NOT a live deal, just a screenshot of a previous one so you know what to look for.

Click that second link as well, and the website will show you all of the HEB stores in 100 miles that also carry the same sale item!

Be mindful that just going to your HEB store and asking to see unadvertised sales will result in cashiers looking at you funny (or worse, telling you there's no such thing as an unadvertised sale at HEB, which is totally false!)

Again, you'll want to do that work before hand online at the full HEB website -- not the mobile app! -- so you're prepared when you get to the store.
