Healthy Savings Reviews

by T@ylor8675309

The information I received about the Healthy Savings program claimed that I would be able to save roughly 60 dollars a week on healthy food items, like produce. I was so excited because I primarily only eat fruits and vegetables. However, the products offered by the program are mostly useless, and they are too expensive to justify getting for the 50 cents or dollar you might save. (A dollar off a $40 pack of soda? No thanks.) The only “produce” I have been offered so far are expensive apples with only 50 cents off and dried fruit packets that aren’t even available at my local store. There have been no offers on vegetables at all. I save nothing with this program. I feel scammed because the only reason I went with my healthcare program (which offers HS) was to access the Healthy Savings program.

So what store can I shop at and receive benefits/ use this card? Walgreens, CVS wow. Come on, no one grocery shops at these places. If they do, I am not them. Can we use it at a farmer's market? No, can I use it at a local coop? No. From this point of view, it looks like you want to track people, and also, it feels like big pharma is in bed with our food distributors. Just a joke…..

I’m sure ya’ll are a well meaning group of people, but you just made an app that helps with grocery costs for the HIGHEST cost stores. I already don’t shop anywhere this program is valid because they are already too expensive. If you want people to get onboard, make it valid EVERYWHERE groceries are sold.

The coupons are NOT for HEALTHY food. This is a load of crap. If you want coupons for Zevia soda as opposed to Pepsi and want to pretend loading up on energy drinks, protein shakes, wow-butter and sour cream is healthy, because the healthy savings app is calling the items healthy, get HealthySavings. I wasn’t going to write a negative review until the new item this week is full sugar trashy energy drinks. It’s the same brands every week and all the coupons are for processed garbage. Yes, you can get one dollar off 4 healthy items: eggs, chopped kale, apples or carrot sticks. THAT IS IT. That is if your local Albertsons carries that specific brand, which mine has the eggs but not the produce. Throw HealthySavings in the trash with your microwave popcorn and TV dinner where it belongs.

Food options are limited and not many to choose from. And lots of high carb items and also gluten. And when clicked for fruit
It wasn’t available at my grocery store.
To be able to select a favorite grocery store so you only see options for that store vs a store you’ve never heard of would be nice. Also the savings isn’t much

I have never been able to use it because it just sits there loading with circle icon indefinitely. Nothing can be selected even though you can see options in the background. It would be nice if it actually fid work because having to go through the website is such a hassle.

I cannot read details on products in the OTC pages. No way to get more information beyond the initial page. If the initial page has no data, search will not find the product. Search needs work.

Where is the savings? I logged in and opened HealthySavings to find 18 coupons. Only 2 were possibly usable. When I got to the store the coupon brands weren’t on sale and it was just cheaper to get the normal store sale than to use HealthySavings. Says fresh fruit but there was not one single fresh fruit or vegetable coupon in HealthySavings to use. Also since when are dried fruits full of sodium and added sugar healthy? I was excited when I saw this since I do like to save money. I also like to save time, however HealthySavings does not neither save money or time. Seems like it’s just another person trying to prove they need a job and come up with another pointless thing.

As someone who really eats a lot of produce, HealthySavings is a joke. It’s supposed to promote healthy savings, but in typical corporatist fashion it promotes branded self-proclaimed health foods.

I scrolled through the entire app and found only one coupon for real, actual produce: baby carrots, which are actually heavily processed. So if I want to buy whole fresh fruits and vegetables, the items that would truly be health-promoting, I guess I’ll be paying full price. No wonder Americans are among the unhealthiest people in the world. If a bunch of “experts” think this stuff is healthful, we’ve got far bigger problems.

The options for selecting a store to load the available coupons are:

1. Using Location. This yields no results, despite me living 2 blocks away from a Kroger.

2. Entering a location manually. This has worked once, but not since the first time it worked.

Upon successfully loading and selecting the store that I do most of my shopping at, I was shocked to see that there were only 33 coupons available. This was kind of surprising to me as this program was advertised as having up to half of the stores inventory in coupons. Additionally, the coupons that were available were for more expensive brands, that barely made them the price of store brands or generics. No loose produce like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots. Only fruits available were a bag of Sunkist tangerines.

Tremendously frustrating and an irritating waste of time. Read reviews from the past year with similar issues, surprised that these issues seem to be persistent. Was genuinely excited to use HealthySavings and program, hope it improves with time.

I know this is just a pilot program, but I’d have to go out of my way to an Acme to actually use it. I also don’t like that I have to click into all the offers to find that they’re only for a bunch of stores I’ve never heard of. It should only show me offers that will actually work at stores within a certain radius of my location. I wish that fewer of the products featured were sugary processed foods—to be able to filter by dietary preferences or at least by product category would be helpful.

HealthySavings does the most infuriating thing: when you favorite an item by swiping, it automatically jumps you back to the very top of the list. Then you need to scroll back down to where you were, getting so frustrated that this is the 5th time you’ve had to do this that you scroll too fast and end up at the very bottom, past the place you wanted.

Also, there’s no search feature. That would really improve usability.

This is a great program with great savings, the only downside is that you can’t integrate your saving barcode into the Apple wallet. It would making using it more efficient.

This looks like a great program and app but I do all of my shopping at Fresh Thyme which is not one of the stores listed. Any way this store could be added?

Easy to use at my favorite stores. Love being able to see stores near me.

by Rocky Butte Gal

I use the fresh produce discount every month. Keeps me healthier!

by Catlover6974

I wish you would add more stores in my area. I go to Target a lot.

by Curlytop2243

I’ve been using & enjoying these offers for a year, & suddenly I can’t see the offers anymore. I’ve sent 2 emails in the past 2 weeks & haven’t gotten a response. What’s going on?!?!

by Fifiona13

Less and less items each week. I would love more stores in my area. I wish there was a way to suggest stores to add. App feels cumbersome overall and a lot of quirks.

HealthySavings is so convenient and easy to use! I constantly save on my favorite healthy foods. The scanning feature is so handy! The reminders are also a nice touch. They let me know when my favorite products are running. I highly recommend HealthySavings!!
