July 6Jul 6 Popular Post Today I don’t care if my HEB is open, short staffed, or if I can’t buy shit they make because it’s out of stock. They always come through when Texans are in need.

July 8Jul 8 Quote Three H-E-B pop-up locations in Central Texas will begin distributing aid to flood victims on Tuesday. The San Antonio-based grocery chain will give away free recovery kits, which include water, snacks, first aid kits, cleaning supplies, gift cards, and more. H-E-B Partners and volunteers will also provide meals to rescue personnel and first responders. "Our teams are staying close to the hardest-hit areas, and we will continue to provide needed support as these tragic situations evolve," H-E-B said. "We hold compassion and strength for everyone who has been impacted, and we remain committed to offering unwavering support to our communities." https://www.statesman.com/story/news/state/2025/07/08/h-e-b-flood-aid-texas-flooding-victims-free-recovery-kits-leander-liberty-hill-burnet/84502448007/

I can be certain if a hurricane hit the coast in the next couple of weeks, they’d be down here and still be able to do their thing in the Hill Country or any other part of the state if we had simultaneous events.

It helps free up resources when you're never open, though.
July 9Jul 9 Quote SAN ANTONIO - In response to the devastating floods that have swept through the Hill Country, H-E-B, the Butt family, and the H.E. Butt Foundation have pledged $5 million in funding to support nonprofits working on relief and recovery efforts in the hardest-hit communities. “H-E-B is committed to providing our communities with immediate and long-term relief as efforts continue in response to the destructive floods that have devastated areas across Texas,” the company said in a statement. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/h-e-b-pledges-5-million-for-texas-flood-recovery-mobilizes-immediate-community-support-san-antonio-kerrville-hunt-ingram-food-water-supplies-relief#
July 10Jul 10 Shiiiiiiieeeet, Erewhon would clean up in Austin between all the pretentious tech bros and gals, then throw in all the influencers. Either downtown or West Lake would be a money printer. I didn't have any of my usual Herdez roasted salsa verde but had a jar of this in the pantry that I got a while back in a meal deal. This is definitely going to be my new go-to.

July 16Jul 16 I typically like their grapefruit and lime versions of Topo Chico. On the shelf above the 12-packs they sell singles. Saw this little guy all by his lonesome. No other singles, no case. I have a feeling this with some Russian water would be incredible, but it’s pretty solid straight up.

July 18Jul 18 I got one of those Strawberry Mineral Waters chilling in the fridge. It must be popular because the 12 packs were sold out while there was plenty of the other flavors in stock. Edited July 18Jul 18 by Nueces River Rat
July 19Jul 19 If you ever contemplate leaving Texas, make sure you factor "no H.E.B." into your equation. I get by, but I sure miss them.

July 19Jul 19 No HEB means you split between Albertsons and the closest mexican mercado, no fucking around. And when you get back into the land of HEB, you kiss the ground and say a lil thanks.
July 23Jul 23 Could you imagine walking into someone's house and it smells like burnt ends or pumpkin chain tres leches cake. You're thinking you're about to eat good and it's just melted wax
July 24Jul 24 I know it's been mentioned here before, but I'm starting to see it more and more: HEB pushing their own brand and removing competing options that have been offered for decades. That sucks.
July 24Jul 24 I'm seeing hatch chiles show up at local stores. Any roasting going on anywhere? I don't find them special in any way to pay the extra for raw, but if someone will roast for me, that's a different story.

I'm also the weirdo that likes it when my house smells like roasting chiles though.

July 25Jul 25 green beans in their dinners. Very much like southern green beans Edited July 25Jul 25 by salonghorn
July 28Jul 28 The meal simple shrimp and crawfish stuffed salmon slaps. So much better than the regular seafood stuffed one with krab.

July 30Jul 30 Maybe unpopular opinion, but in a pinch and for convenience (and bang for your buck) HEB's BBQ offerings are pretty dang good. Better than Rudy's.
July 30Jul 30 Gotta disagree w/ you there as I've been less than impressed w/ the brisket at the Lake Austin location, but I do grab their bbq turkey on my way home from bike rides all the time and it's pretty tasty. True Texas BBQ Cubed Smoked Turkey

The Brisket Beans are pretty damn good. HEB needs to sell these in their fresh prepared meal section at the stores that don’t have the Texas True BBQ.
August 2Aug 2 Cross posting. It’s fucking delicious. Almost certainly seasonal. I bought 2 and will probably g back for more.

Most of them are pretty good with the proper use of condiments. I think all of them I've tried have been improved by adding shredded cheese on top before baking. And then top with hot sauce or sour cream or whatever.
