    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.

Good Lord. They will restock the place you idiots.

 

When we made fun of the British for queuing up for hours to see the Queen's coffin, I immediately though of this or when people were lined up in their cars for 10-12 hours for In and Out in Colorado when it first opened.

I rep'd this post back then, but finally had them tonight. Not a fan, tasted more like a weak BBQ chip than anything else. Spend the $3 elsewhere. 

i brought over $200 worth of HEB stuff back to Denver 😄😊

Yeah, a lot of their specialty flavor chips turn out to be just meh.

Haven't read through the entire thread, but several of HEB's jarred pasta sauces are pretty darned good. I typically make my sauce from scratch but for convenience sake, I give them a thumbs up. They are nothing like Ragu's garbage. They have several flavors, but some I'd recommend are:

HEB Marinara Pasta Sauce

HEB Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce

HEB Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce

Spent 8 months in El Paso where good salsa was easy to find, all kinds. It's been the only down spot I find about HEB since I moved back. However, uncle baldy is legit.

It’s good salsa but gotttdamn they like their cumin.

If anyone here has some HEB Cookies & Cream ice cream in their freezer, might want to go check it.  Apparently it's making a lot of people sick who have purchased it from Houston HEB locations.  Managers are pulling it off the shelves.  Some folks complaining about it not actually freezing properly in their freezer, very liquidy/runny.  I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something from HEB soon regarding the cookies & cream creamy creations ice cream.

Thanks for passing along.  That's my son's favorite, and we usually have a half gallon in our freezer at all times.  Haven't noticed any problem with the current batch.  But I'm also in Austin so maybe this is limited to the Houston area.

It'd be hilarious if the stock for Houston is private label produced by Blue Bell. They have a track history of killing people.

Stopped at the Frisco HEB last Saturday evening, slipped into a good parking spot got out of the truck and noticed a line of about 40 people outside waiting to get in the store.  Hopped back in the truck and went on home. 

It was probably closed.

Does it smell like decaying bodies?

HEB and thier pumpkin flavored bacon can go fuck themselves.

Really good. Comparable to Bob's or other any other jalapeño chips.

$1.49 a bag.

They may not make these HCF ones anymore, so bought the regular HEB label. Greenest chips I’ve ever seen, but pretty damn good. Will keep in rotation.

I'm pretty sure they used whatever they used to fuse the space shuttle together to seal the lid on these things. 

20221104_123415.thumb.jpg.cf65714b72bad3a43733bc0664fa06f5.jpg

I had to cut it open with a knife. 

Maybe it was just a weird batch but I'm thinking about sending them a note so some poor woman on her lunch break doesn't have a meltdown. 

We go through a shit ton of sparkling water around our house and everyone has their favorite, whether it be Waterloo, La Croix, whatever. 

This is the best to me.

I sometimes buy the microwavable Simple Meals, and the plastic wrapping on that will shred apart in pieces and cause me to flip out. It's great that the packaging won't leak, but shouldn't need a hydrogen bomb to open them.

Good to know it’s not just me. I also have to use pocket knife to get these open.

Their limited edition gingerbread cookies and cream ice cream is pretty good..

Probably the same kind of Gorilla glue or whatever they use to put stickers on fruit. I fn' hate that.

I got some of those HEB potato chips in barbecue flavor a couple of weeks ago. 

I was disappoint.

Even worse, I got them because they were supposed to be free with a "buy thing, get other thing free" yellow coupon. But the bbq did not apply, so I had to pay full price for chips with not real good flavor. A rare fail for shit HEB makes.

This stuff is pretty good.  No need to get Rotel.  We jazzed it up with some chopped Japs (no racist), chopped onion, and a bit of salsa.

It's more expensive than Velveeta by a few cents at my HEB. First time that's happened I can recall. 

I haven't tried the flavored Easy Melt, but I do know that Velveeta kicks the shit out of the regular flavor Easy Melt.  Especially if it is similarly priced.

Fuck all that. Get the Boar's Head American for queso. Thank me later

Buy a sodastream, tank adapter and co2 tank. Squeeze a little fresh juice or drink mixes into the bottles. Save a ton of money.

These were pretty meh when first introduced but the HEB has done something with them in the last several months - lighter, tastier, just damn good.

Rivaling, not quite succeeding, El Milagro chips as the best on the rack at the store. But damn good now.

I like the bakery tortilla chips. Very close to Tex-mex restaurant chips.

Yep. I brought some back to Puebla with me. Teaching my girlfriend that totopos don't have to weight 3 oz. each and taste like old corn tortillas soaked in rancid oil.

It just means all the tortilla makers have the flu/COVID. 

What do you do when your tortilla machine stops working?

Divorce her.

If you see the HEB “Post Oak” pimento cheese, grab some. The cheese is smoked with post oak. Not a strong smoke flavor, but very good. 

Have tried all the seasonal offerings for years, my favorite so far. On bag #4.

I found myself in north DFW today and hit up one of the new HEBs.  Didn’t buy much, but I had yet to sample the frozen Luby’s mac and cheese.  Slammed and went hard.  Not quite the perfection that you get from an old lady serving it to you fresh in between smoke breaks, but pretty good.

Take a package with you on your next visit to South Austin's mom.
