I live 30 minutes from an heb, so I rarely go to one. The other night I was near that heb, late night and needed some groceries. No kidding, I wanted to buy everything I walked by, even the frozen pizza aisle is glorious, cheeses galore,  fresh this, fresh that. HEB does it right and when I have the energy for a 30 minute drive and shop, I'm going back. HEB does not fuck around. Those of you who make HEB your regular grocery should be extremely thankful.

Heb is crazy today, didn't even try to enter parking lot. Kept on rolling but any other day I'll stop in. One hiccup is that they need to do something about keeping the bags of pretzel (there  making me thirsty) from being broken. Always get the two bags for the price but I'll be damn at the end of the bag I'm tossing it away. Any ideas for pretzel crumbs...

The H-E-B sourdough pretzel bags are really damn good.   Perfectly salt ratio.

So is it open?

I’ve always laughed at this thread on shaggy and now on surly, but I’m actually pretty shocked it isn’t open.

The croissant donuts aren't bad, but mine could've been a bit flakier.

HEB's Mi Comida fajita beef is fattier than buying your own at Costco/Sam's and seasoning it yourself, but I like its seasoning for fajitas. If you have more time, do it your way with the Costco/Sam's fajita beef.

 

This is the shit you want IMO

[BradInATX 9,208]

So they're finally closing down the worst HEB in Austin S. 1st and William Cannon HEB. Where will all the poors in my hood buy their plastic gold jewelry? I guess they'll have to travel two blocks east to I-35 and William Cannon to what was formally the #2 worst HEB in austin, but will be the newly-crowned #1 worst HEB in Austin on April 3, 2020. I wonder how long that one will stay open with the one opening at Slaughter and 35?

That HEB rules. You can park within 20 feet from the entrance and it's never crowded. As long as you need the basics and survive without getting shot between your car and the front door, it's the easiest HEB in Austin. Sucks that it's going away. I'll go 10 minutes out of the way to that one instead of Brodie William Cannon and still save 20 minutes.

Agreed. I felt that way even when it was a shitty Albertsons back in the day. And never once got stabbed.

This. And the parking lot of the Riverside one is like a damn Formula 1 track, except that at HEB none of the competitors have insurance.

The Rundberg HEB is my HEB. There is a small group of us gringo regulars who shop every Saturday morning when they open at 6 a.m., before it becomes a giant clusterfuck. 

[MAUFRAIS 6,638]

Sounds like a real who’s who

[Deej 76,942]

Oh, it is 

[AustinMT 952]

I go to the Four Points H-E-B, and sometimes the Lakeway location.  It can get pretty rough in the wine section

Lakeway does have its own dry-aging setup for beef, which is nice.

[BradInATX 9,208]

BTW, anyone know where the new HEB on 290 and Camp Ben will be? I'm guessing it has to be where the church is/was?

[Texas St. Armadillos 1,381]

I was passing through Huntsville and saw the HEB there had a HEB BBQ joint attached to hit.  Has anyone else seen this concept yet?  No clue on the quality, but could be useful as a sandwich option for lunches.

I know they bought the nutty brown Cafe land but not exactly sure when or what they are building. They are about to build one at 290/1826 to replace the one at the Y

The Midland HEB has some pretty great bbq. I assume the concept is the same, give it a go.

[TonyTexas 10,531]

They had a BBQ restaurant at the H-E-B on Fountainview in Houston. They shut it down after a few years. It was ok, nothing special.

1826 is the same as camp Ben (McCullough road). My fault, should have clarified. Old south austin guy habit.

Yep. I should have clued in. Start in Feb and finished around the end of the year. I'll have that and the circle c one very close. This one sounds bigger.

HEB pecan pie at the family Christmas deal was not real good. I think they made a yankeeass pee-can pie instead.

Are there any ultra low carb wraps or tortilla substitute that HEB sells that could replace a traditional tortilla? I know they sell those egg wrap things for breakfast type foods but what about for traditional tacos or fajitas?

Don't have those here, but I like the HEB brand ones better than the big label brand, and they're cheaper.

I just wish somebody would invent some low carb chips for guac and stuff. Toasted low carb torts don't have much flavor, and it's a pain.

Oh yeah, not an HEB item. They do freeze well

Normally amazon has the three pack for 21 bucks. They are large. More burrito than taco but the taste is better than Torchys. If doing Keto or low carb you owe it to yourself to try

We use pork rinds with guacamole and salsa, not even close to a good tortilla chip but better than nada.

The carbs look great, but man, that ingredient list is a beating. 

[Storm the Field 5,302]

HEB store-brand Chicken Broth is by far the most flavorful of any brand. Tastes damn near homemade.
