November 17, 20232 yr I'm too lazy to see if I've posted ArnieTex yet. He's down in the Valley and his channel is exclusively Tex Mex and BBQ. I'm pretty sure he's brisketexan's spirit animal.
November 17, 20232 yr Just a reminder..... If you are visiting your local HEB and it's not a "Plus" with the wide aisles. Prepare to have a shit fit the next few days. I thought going early this morning to get all of our Thanksgiving stuff would avoid all the personal shopper blue carts, the stockers, and some of the olds riding around in their electric carts. NOPE....

November 24, 20232 yr On Forbes list of largest privately held companies, HEB clocked in at 5th with annual revenues at $43B. While there are many other factors to consider, valuation rule of thumb for grocery stores is 33% of sales, putting their valuation at $14B Edited November 24, 20232 yr by TonyTexas
November 24, 20232 yr No doubt the most valuable and successful company on earth with Butts in its name.
November 29, 20232 yr I usually go for hotter salsas but I decided to try this the other day and it’s really good.
November 29, 20232 yr HEB's whole "Mi Tienda" line of products is kind of game-changing. We regularly eat the refried beans and par-cooked flour tortillas, and the list is growing. Well done, Butts.

December 20, 20232 yr I tried this and really liked it. I wish they made them in ground form so I could stock some in the freezer and use throughout the year. PS - the Christmas in a Cup is bleh

December 21, 20232 yr Hudson Oaks shoppers beware. They have started the expansion on our store. The doors to the pharmacy side have been closed off and they’re tearing up the drive through pharmacy. I assume as they remove walls that side is going to be hell for a bit. Went yesterday and it was pretty tight. I’d imagine somewhere else may be better for one’s sanity for a bit.
December 22, 20232 yr 11 hours ago, salonghorn said: Has anyone tried the spicy mi tienda tamales? Yeah, but they do tend to have rather large pieces of dried pepper skin in them. It can be a bit off- putting.

Was there last Wednesday, but they hadn’t started anything yet.
December 22, 20232 yr Going left. I don’t know exact plans but I read Butts Corp isn’t re-upping those shops on the left either.
December 22, 20232 yr New product at HEB Far West -- frozen potatoes with one single ingredient ("Potatoes"). They slam and go hard.
December 22, 20232 yr I'm kind of pissed that I've seen people at the Frisco HEB getting $4.99/lb rib roast deals. Have never, ever seen any shit like that in Central Texas.

December 22, 20232 yr Randalls ended up $9.99/lb for some damn good looking Choice 3-bone ribeye roast. I'll take it. I had to go to 3 stores to find a brisket. (Found a 14 lb Prime at HEB on Burnet Road.)

Good to hear, we got the regular pork and the jalapeño and cheese for Christmas dinner at home. Easy dinner to have after doing the big family Christmas dinner at lunch.

December 23, 20232 yr I went looking for prime filets at Costco yesterday, because they have them for $30 lb. No luck, and they aren’t getting any more in before Christmas. So, had to get some at HEB for $40 lb. Whatever, it’s Christmas, but still.

I think filets are the least impacted of the prime grade steak family. A lot of steakhouses don’t even bother to offer them.
December 23, 20232 yr I went to HEB for a whole packer brisket yesterday, hoping to get their Prime grade ($4.67/lb). No dice. The butcher said he had one Wagyu brisket in the back, at roughly twice the price per pound. He brought that thing out, it was just shy of 20 lb. $162. Uh, no. Tried 2 Randalls, nothing. Finally found a Prime brisket at the HEB on Burnet. Austin is getting slammed. (Did get a nice choice grade 3-bone ribeye roast at Randalls, though. It's a beauty.)
December 23, 20232 yr I think filets are the least impacted of the prime grade steak family. A lot of steakhouses don’t even bother to offer them. I agree…I usually don’t cook filets, prefer other cuts. But that’s what the family wants, and there is SOME difference in the quality when you go prime, so I’ll do it.

December 23, 20232 yr Author I knew a dude that used to have a barbecue truck biz around here that would to buy the cheapest select briskets from Wal Mart and made better que than either Miller's or Schoepf's on their best days. I miss that guy.

December 23, 20232 yr The best thing about the holidays is that I have been to Central Market once, Whole Foods once, HEB twice, and Trader Joe’s twice all in the last 48 hours, #disorganized
