What do we do with the HEB Buddy stickers?

Abrooks

I seriously have no clue.  I went to their website and couldn't find any info.  Usually, DD just takes the sticker and then plays with it.  We don't save them.  Well tonight she got a 50 point sticker.  So I thought I should find out what exactly we can do with the stickers.  Anyone know?

At HEB by the machine there are little booklets. They are pretty crappy prizes for the most part! But there are frisbees and I think the big one this season is an art smock? I mostly just let Abby play with the stickers

There's a booklet you can put them in and then you can turn them in for prizes - some at customer service, the bigger ones you have to send away for in the mail.  We've been keeping them in the booklets - he likes to stick them in the boxes himself.  By the time he realizes that he can turn them in for prizes, he should have enough for some kick-butt stuff.

LOL- I always just thought they were stickers. Huh.

I've gone with my booklets full of stickers to the customer service and just asked to see what prizes they currently have and pick something out for the girls a couple times when I knew the grocery store trip was going to be a humdinger.  New toy = easier shopping.

But, more often lately, if you ask Julia, they are for putting on her window in the car.  She's probably got 30 points up there right now!  (My car has some awful peel-away tint on the inside that my DH put there.  Some day we'll peel it off, easy as can be, and all the stickers will come off with it.)

DUDE! They have prizes at customer service!? Why don't they tell you that!

I always told myself I wouldn't be "that mom" who had stickers on the inside of my windows but the way things are going with my "I never's" It's probably only a matter of time.

Me too! DD LOVES to stink them on her hands and wear them around like a prize--who knew they could actually lead to a prize. : )

Julian's eyeing the watercolor set for 100 points.  And yes, I have stickers in my car too.....on the headrest in front of his carseat.  Sigh--the things you do as mom to make the kids happy!

Ask for a Buddy Buck at the checkout.  Then the Buddy Buck activates the HEB claw machine which gives you a sticker as a treat (and lets you try as many times as you need to get that sticker).  I use them as rewards.  If he's good in the store, he gets a Buddy Buck.  If he misbehaves, we tell the cashier that he can't have one because he wasn't behaving well during shopping.

HA!  I know about the sticker and the books to collect point for prizes but Abby doesn't. SHHHH! I hope to keep it that way. At our HEB the machine to turn in the buddy bucks for the points stickers is way on the other side and not at all convinent to the exit doors so I never take her down there.  She is completely happy to get her ballon, sticker (the one they put on the too big items to show you did pay) and buddy bock) and I would like to keep it that way.

Man, I wish we got a balloon more often. H usually crumples the buck and asks for a balloon.

Reason # 9897 I dislike the 620 heb.

kimbie - both HEB's in G'town have the machines to get the stickers. 

nanann

dude, I HATE the balloons!  Because at mine they tie them up to lollipops, and my girls have never not noticed the lollipop.  If they get a balloon, they are sticky messes with their hair stuck onto their faces, their mouths and the lollipops by the time we get home from our only 2-mile drive.
