Local Grocery Stores KIDS CLUBS!!

So I've heard about some of the local stores having kids' clubs but I've never really looked in to it...I saw in the latest Price Chopper ad a blip about their club and how to sign up so I looked into Hy-Vee's as well, one that I had heard about before. I personally try to NOT take the kids with me when I shop, but sometimes it is unavoidable...these clubs seem like just what I need to keep a 2-yr-old in check during our trip... Here's what I found out:

Hy-Vee:
Children qualify from infant to 12 years of age. I guess the way the program works, is that you sign up at Customer Service and then they give you a name tag that they can wear in the store. When they wear this name tag they can:

• Get a FREE drink in the cafe
• Get a FREE cookie from the bakery
• Get a FREE sucker from the pharmacy
• Get a FREE balloon from the flower shop

At that point you are also placed on their mailing list and will be notified of upcoming FREE kid's events at the store... worth checking in to....

Price Chopper:
Go here to sign up with your Chopper Card online. With this program you get an entry into a monthly sweepstakes, a birthday treat, as well as a coupon each month for each child to redeem for a free item at checkout. Personally, I like the HyVee program better, but still worth signing up for at least....

I'll have to check with Hen House to see if they have a program, too!!

Are any of your kids already signed up for these programs? Lemme know!!
