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.

October 13, 20223 yr 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 Edited October 13, 20223 yr by sith_horn

October 16, 20223 yr 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.
October 17, 20223 yr 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.

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.

They have a track history of killing people.
October 21, 20223 yr 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.

October 25, 20223 yr On 8/7/2022 at 4:26 PM, Wally Pryor said: 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.
November 4, 20223 yr I'm pretty sure they used whatever they used to fuse the space shuttle together to seal the lid on these things. 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.
November 4, 20223 yr 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.

I also have to use pocket knife to get these open.

Probably the same kind of Gorilla glue or whatever they use to put stickers on fruit. I fn' hate that.
November 8, 20223 yr Author 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.
November 8, 20223 yr 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.

November 8, 20223 yr 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.

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

November 9, 20223 yr 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.
November 10, 20223 yr Popular Post I like the bakery tortilla chips. Very close to Tex-mex restaurant chips.

Teaching my girlfriend that totopos don't have to weight 3 oz. each and taste like old corn tortillas soaked in rancid oil.

November 19, 20223 yr 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.
November 20, 20223 yr Have tried all the seasonal offerings for years, my favorite so far. On bag #4.
November 22, 20223 yr 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.
