No kidding, I wanted to buy everything I walked by, even the frozen pizza aisle is glorious, cheeses galore, fresh this, fresh that. HEB does it right and when I have the energy for a 30 minute drive and shop, I'm going back. HEB does not fuck around. Those of you who make HEB your regular grocery should be extremely thankful.
December 24, 20196 yr Heb is crazy today, didn't even try to enter parking lot. Kept on rolling but any other day I'll stop in. One hiccup is that they need to do something about keeping the bags of pretzel (there making me thirsty) from being broken. Always get the two bags for the price but I'll be damn at the end of the bag I'm tossing it away. Any ideas for pretzel crumbs...

Perfectly salt ratio.
December 25, 20195 yr I’ve always laughed at this thread on shaggy and now on surly, but I’m actually pretty shocked it isn’t open.

If you have more time, do it your way with the Costco/Sam's fajita beef. This is the shit you want IMO
December 25, 20195 yr So they're finally closing down the worst HEB in Austin S. 1st and William Cannon HEB. Where will all the poors in my hood buy their plastic gold jewelry? I guess they'll have to travel two blocks east to I-35 and William Cannon to what was formally the #2 worst HEB in austin, but will be the newly-crowned #1 worst HEB in Austin on April 3, 2020. I wonder how long that one will stay open with the one opening at Slaughter and 35?That HEB rules. You can park within 20 feet from the entrance and it's never crowded. As long as you need the basics and survive without getting shot between your car and the front door, it's the easiest HEB in Austin. Sucks that it's going away. I'll go 10 minutes out of the way to that one instead of Brodie William Cannon and still save 20 minutes.

And never once got stabbed.

December 26, 20195 yr H‑E‑B Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Had a quite a bit of this over the Holiday's. Would recommend.

December 26, 20195 yr The Rundberg HEB is my HEB. There is a small group of us gringo regulars who shop every Saturday morning when they open at 6 a.m., before it becomes a giant clusterfuck.
December 27, 20195 yr I go to the Four Points H-E-B, and sometimes the Lakeway location. It can get pretty rough in the wine section Lakeway does have its own dry-aging setup for beef, which is nice.
December 27, 20195 yr BTW, anyone know where the new HEB on 290 and Camp Ben will be? I'm guessing it has to be where the church is/was? Edited December 27, 20195 yr by BradInATX
December 27, 20195 yr I was passing through Huntsville and saw the HEB there had a HEB BBQ joint attached to hit. Has anyone else seen this concept yet? No clue on the quality, but could be useful as a sandwich option for lunches.

December 27, 20195 yr I was passing through Huntsville and saw the HEB there had a HEB BBQ joint attached to hit. Has anyone else seen this concept yet? No clue on the quality, but could be useful as a sandwich option for lunches.The Midland HEB has some pretty great bbq. I assume the concept is the same, give it a go.
December 28, 20195 yr They had a BBQ restaurant at the H-E-B on Fountainview in Houston. They shut it down after a few years. It was ok, nothing special.

December 28, 20195 yr 1826 is the same as camp Ben (McCullough road). My fault, should have clarified. Old south austin guy habit. Yep. I should have clued in. Start in Feb and finished around the end of the year. I'll have that and the circle c one very close. This one sounds bigger. https://newsroom.heb.com/h-e-b-to-open-new-store-to-replace-existing-location-in-oak-hill/
December 28, 20195 yr Author HEB pecan pie at the family Christmas deal was not real good. I think they made a yankeeass pee-can pie instead.

January 21, 20205 yr This is some good shit. Great on tacos or with chips. https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-relish-that-corn-sweet-corn-chile-salsa-relish/1584659
January 22, 20205 yr Are there any ultra low carb wraps or tortilla substitute that HEB sells that could replace a traditional tortilla? I know they sell those egg wrap things for breakfast type foods but what about for traditional tacos or fajitas?

We use pork rinds with guacamole and salsa, not even close to a good tortilla chip but better than nada.

January 23, 20205 yr HEB store-brand Chicken Broth is by far the most flavorful of any brand. Tastes damn near homemade.
