From touchdown-worthy snacks and mini crockpots to artisan roses and 15-minute gourmet meal kits, Hy-Vee is your ultimate seasonal headquarters.
Skip the stress and master your hosting game with these curated deals for the big game and beyond.
1. The “Big Game” Snack Essential: 1.5-Quart Mini Crockpots – $16.99
Perfect for small gatherings of about four people, Hy-Vee is offering 1.5-quart mini crockpots for just $16.99. These are ideal for keeping queso or chili warm without the bulk of a full-sized 7-quart slow cooker.
-
Pro Tip: For a hearty dip, Harold suggests mixing Hy-Vee brand tostado chips with Rotel, sausage, or even hot chili beans.
2. 15-Minute Gourmet Meal Kits – $20.07 ea.
Hy-Vee has expanded its popular 15-minute meal kits to include “Meals for Two”. These kits are perfect for busy weeknights or a romantic dinner where you want to look like a professional chef without the prep work.
-
Menu Options: Choose from Chicken Gnocchi, Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Noodle Stir Fry, or Sausage and Peppers.
-
Ease of Use: Each kit features a QR code that links to a 2-minute instructional video, and all the “painful” prep—like chopping onions—is already done for you.
3. Artisan Floral Arrangements – range from $10 up
Skip the generic grocery store bouquets. Hy-Vee’s floral department features lead designers who act as true artisans.
-
Pricing: Bouquets range from $10 up to custom sprays of any size.
-
Customization: You can request specific arrangements, such as giant sprays of roses, tailored to your budget and style.
4. Massive Chocolate-Covered Strawberries – $30.00/lb
A Valentine’s Day staple, Hy-Vee’s produce department prepares “massive” chocolate-covered strawberries fresh in-store.
-
Where to find them: Look for them right at the front of the produce department. On certain days, you can even watch the team dipping them live on the floor!
5. One-Stop Party Cleanup & Catering –
To make your “Big Game” hosting easier, Hy-Vee stocks themed napkins, tablecloths, and plates so you can simply “roll up and throw away” once the game is over.
-
Need more help? For larger parties, their full-service catering department can handle the cooking and cleanup entirely, bringing the food directly to you.
6. Sweet Treats & Unique Gifts
Beyond standard chocolates, Hy-Vee offers a variety of unique Valentine’s items:
-
Themed Candies: Look for Red Velvet Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Raspberry Cream Kit Kats.
-
For the Kids: Instead of just cards, you can find classroom exchange kits featuring tattoos or candy, as well as “stuffies” (stuffed animals) and balloons.
7. Pairings from Wine & Spirits
Don’t forget the toast! The Wine & Spirits department is available to help you select the perfect bottle of Champagne or wine to complement your Valentine’s dinner.
