    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.

Lol!   I actually coughed up the $2 extra bucks and bought a bag over the weekend.   And I’m here to report it’s legit.  I lit a fire about 1:30 this afternoon and my pit barrel smoker is still hot enough at this hour (10 PM) to make some burgers.

damn those look good 

Mediocre at best. Boudin wasn’t great, jalapeños had no heat at all (at least on the ones we had).

I've never had boudin made in Texas or anywhere else outside of South Central Louisiana that I thought was decent.

Welcome to jalapenos, the most inconsistent thing on the planet earth.

I ate a shit ton of Boudin and assorted spicy sausages last weekend.  All I can say is that when the scanner rings these up an on screen prompt, with a coupon for Charmin should pop up.

Thread title appropriate!

Found two mouse turds in a HEB can of refried beans.  Meticulously searched all of the can, and these two were the only ones.1512525044_HEB2.thumb.JPG.8e536b1f4f5da55606b29840f897950d.JPG1194830547_HEB1.thumb.JPG.d3d6eaeff9f2afe93f9182a7ce93b03c.JPG

The pre-packaged stuffed jalapeños from HEB are never spicy, except for rare occasion you may get 1.

Dzuik’s boudin is pretty good. The smokehouse in camp wood also has some decent boudin.

My go to for salet, usually in concert with the HEB Romaine blend.

Nice way to dispose of some leftover grilled chicken tenders:

Next time I might squirt in some sriracha and add basil....served it over lime jasmine rice.

So how did they taste?  Complement to the bean flavor or a stark contrast?

Damn, good.  Little bit of sweetness in 'em blended with the saltness.

These are really good.  I like the jalapeno better. But they're the best kettle chips I've found.

I'm just gonna go on and pretend those are cloves, and not turds.

I love this ice cream. This year it seems to have fewer strawberries. Taste is the same as years passed. Great stuff

I am in Florida at the moment and had my first experience at a Publix. While it’s a nice grocery store, it is nowhere in the ballpark of HEB. Not sure if it was this thread or another thread that someone tried to float the idea that they were equals. Wrong.

I lived in Fort Myers for 3 years before coming back to TX. Publix does a lot of things right and they are on every freakin’ corner and generally a very sane, organized place to shop.

Is it HEB?  No. But things could have been a lot worse. 

Publix is nice.  Well run organization. (Great fried chicken)  I've lived in Publix land and TX, alternating a few times.

I'll often stop at an HEB and take their stuff back home.  I've never made a Publix haul back to TX.

You’ve never had relations with a woman I see

Publix reminds me of less shitty Randalls. The meat dept sucked but the fried chicken was good and they make a kick ass key lime pie. 

I’d have a hard time eating an oyster dish bought from a deli case. 

Lol I bought that shit and ate it no ragrets. Although I remember the label having a “made on” date.

Had these on Friday night poolside. Very delicious. Decent kick.

I think I would pass on HEB packaged oysters.  But now I am craving some grilled oysters.

Kinda weird, but I had a large Publix 2 miles north of me, and a smaller Publix 2 miles south of me.  The larger Publix was great for the bulk shopping, and their Pharmacy and deli was great, but they were complete dickheads at their meat and seafood counters.  The smaller Publix south of me was a great pop-in-for-a-few-items store, but both their meat and seafood counters were run by managers that actually gave a shit about their customers.  I gave them a lot of business, even with holiday special-orders and custom-cuts, and they delivered every time.

It was a weird difference for two stores with completely different sizes and layouts 4 miles from each other.  

A 50,000' Whole Foods opened up right next to the smaller, southern Publix a month before I moved.  Kinda wanna see how that's playing out in the neighborhood.

HEB brand has nothing on the real ones. As a matter of fact, worst saltines ever.

I saw that HEB is selling their own brand batteries now. Read the label and it says they are made in San Antonio. Intradesting...

While shopping yesterday, I noticed HEB is selling their own butter sticks.

Tried these for the first time today. They're much better than the HEB Carb-Sense tortillas.

I love the mango-chile flavor of these. 

The last 3 deliveries I've ordered from HEB included 2 pounds of HEB pepper turkey from the deli. However every time they have replaced it with the Boar's Head version for the price of the HEB version.
