Some stores also had barbacoa by the pound on weekends. Barbacoa is still a thing on the weekends, at least at the ones in South Austin that I frequent.

January 20, 20223 yr Particularly, the Slaughter/Congress and Slaughter/Menchaca locations. Occasionally Circle C, but it's pretty rare.
January 20, 20223 yr Not a single french fry to be found in the frozen section. My HEB in Allandale has been cleaned out for more than a week.
January 20, 20223 yr HEB has been killing it with their rainbow trout filet supply lately. This last week it was down to $6/lb and was as fresh tasting as it gets outside of catching your own. Edited January 20, 20223 yr by SimonBolivar

January 20, 20223 yr Quote China, Russia, India and the United States are the world’s top potato producers. But last year, U.S. farmers had to destroy a glut of millions of potatoes after lockdowns and stay-at-home orders led to a steep decline in demand, including from restaurants. The U.S. potato crop declined by 2% in 2021, according to a November report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. I haven't seen a shortage of french fries at restaurants. But I've noticed low to no supplies of them at HEB's since mid-December. Link

The Brodie HEB had some frozen potato products today, but they've been completely wiped out the last two times I was there. My kids love those hash brown patties for breakfast and they're almost never in stock. I've got one small package of the Ore-Ida brand in the freezer. Strangely, we think the Hill Country Fair brand has brown patties are superior to the name brand Ore-Ida ones. They also had egg noodles today, but have been sold out of them for the last six weeks, roughly. WTF?

However, any time there are shortages of stuff at HEB, I go to the Randall's that's actually twice as close to my house, and they always have it. I can also get in and out of that store in about 3 minutes. Mainly because, Randall's sucks*, and nobody ever wants to shop there.

Of the two that I ever visit, their selection is also significantly inferior, and their produce is exceptionally terrible compared to every nearby HEB. But they have yet to run out of egg noodles and frozen fried taters, so there you have it.

January 21, 20223 yr I have a small krogers about 5mins away. Don’t go there after sunset, great way to get robbed / shot. Once you get inside, the store is ok but the selection compared the any H‑E‑B is horrible. Prices are high too

If there are any shortages at HEB right now due to supply chain issue, then the shit is real with the lack of availability from the sources. They have one of the best distribution system in the grocery industry and they've proved this pre and post natural disasters. All while Wal Mart who for some reason to this day still gets praise for their distribution systems is still trying to find their stores on the map or what is left of them.

January 21, 20223 yr If you’re willing to splurge and don’t mind hanging with the upper crust of society, the rotisserie chickens at Central Market are consistently high quality.
January 21, 20223 yr Those rotisserie chickens aren’t meant to be good. They’re to squeeze some profit out of meat that’s too old to sell fresh.

January 25, 20223 yr Has anyone else noticed that HEB's Restaurant Style tortilla chips lately are crazy salty? I love salt, use it excessively in all my cooking, I've eaten those chips before but the last last couple of times I've brought home a bag of these, both the wife and I have been reaching for the water and salsa to neutralize the salt on our tongues.

It’s good for what it is, prepackaged and not fresh queso. Better than anything I’ve had out of a jar on the shelf. Their ChoriQueso is good too. Is it better than something you or I could make from scratch? No way, but the appeal of not having to go through all that hassle and being able to just pop it in the oven cannot be overstated.
