    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.

Did you see [mention=995]CooterBrown[/mention] in line?

Went to Central Market yesterday afternoon and it wasn’t any busier than usual. However other than orange juice and the meat counter, they were well stocked. A truck was pulling in as I was leaving so the stock may be close to normal today.

Yesterday, I hit El Rancho for some basics (some fresh produce, some chicken, and several elderly neighbors and my parents needed milk and eggs).

It was busy, but manageable. I even grabbed some milanesa for tonight. They had cartons of 18 eggs, limit 1, so I grabbed it. But no milk. After I left, I remembered Mi Tradicion bakery right around the corner. Went in, grabbed two packs of fresh, hot, amazing flour tortillas...and a gallon of 2% from the fridge behind the counter. Went back to the hood and divied out 6 eggs to wash household, and over a quart of milk to each.

Always hit the ethnic groceries during a disaster, they’ll do you right after the panic-buying gringos have wiped out HEB.

Gonna have milanesa and refrieds tonight...life is bueno.

HEB on Brodie had a long line this morning so I drove on to Sprouts and got everything I needed (meat, eggs, bread, milk, produce, water). Only thing I couldn’t find was bananas. In and out in 25 minutes. 

Yup, the Sprouts in CP on Cypress Creek is also nearly always well-stocked and devoid of customers.  I have no idea how they stay in business the other 363 days per year, but I'm always thankful for their existence when the panic-buying idiots are descending on HEB like locusts and all I need is a little produce, meat, or milk.

One thing that Covid should have taught us is that there are lots of places to buy food.

Whole Foods in the Domain is well-stocked with produce and fresh meat. Crowds were normal weekend size.

most whole foods have an excellent water machine / station in store

Anyone have a report on Hancock HEB?

Which Central Market?

Plan on hitting it at opening tomorrow morning.

Hit Hewitt HEB this morning.  Said their new hours are 9 to 9. Got there at 845 and they were already slanging and banging.

Had pretty much all I needed minus bread.  I was able to get milk and eggs.   Should've brought shoulder pads and helmets. 

They must've had 20 stockers working.

They're so well run

Put HEB and Chick-Fil-A together and everyone would have electricity, food, water and a covid vaccine by now.

Conversely, put the federal government in charge of grocery stores and fast food restaurants and we’d all starve.

Here now and the parking lot is like half full and they seem to be fully stocked

This was one of the only meats left at HEB last week. Never made it before. Marinated in Goya mojo. Would make again.

I hit the North Lamar Central Market yesterday at noon and you’d never thought there was a winter storm disruption. All produce, meat, seafood and milk seemed fully stocked. Only difference is that the cafe is closed.

Behind the guy trying to buy beer at 6:45.

That is a much better situation than shopping at around 9:00 AM on a Sunday and having some rando remind you that you can't buy your shit for 3 more hours.

Fucking blue laws are ridiculous in this day and age.

Four Points HEB:

 Went late afternoon Saturday, and it looked like what I imagine a grocery store in Stalingrad looked like in 1973.  Went early yesterday, and they had a decent amount of produce and meat, but no cheese, no eggs, and the frozen food sections were still pretty bare.  Wife stopped in today and it was not fully stocked, but pretty well-stocked (including eggs and cheese).  They are getting back.

Wife ordered HEB via Shipt to help support one of the shoppers that always fills our orders for us (when curbside is not an option).  Anderson Mill/620 HEB looks to be fully stocked, as we got most of our order without any major substitutions.  

I have nothing to add beyond how much I miss HEB.   Krogers, Safeway, King Soopers is pure crap compared to HEB.

Your lips to gods ear.  I hate HEB only cause they are to lazy to move to N Texas.

I've got an Ideal Fresh Market aka Amazon rebranding of smaller location whole foods.  Beyond that, it's crap or specialty.

I guess I’ve never noticed the The Dude was slamming Caucasians and searching for his rug 10 years to the date prior to the Twin Towers falling.

Al noticed this long ago. Been waiting for it to be noticed on TOS and now Surly. Al waits no longer.

Yep.  And it's a post-dated check.

"Uh, Dude, tomorrow's already the 10th."

Saw that the planned HEB at the old Nutty Brown Amphitheater site is going to open in approximately a year. Hope it has a bar like the Lakeway HEB.

Hopefully that means they are making progress on the new Nutty Brown in Round Rock.

Did a check on their website and it shows the concert line up through August, no indication if the old or new site though. I did not know Styx and Joan Jett still toured, Nutty going retro.

Those damn things are like crack. Enough structure for shank approved nachos too.
