I got a couple of live oak trees from HEB recently. I'll have to get back to you in about 40 years to report how they are doing.

I chortled

[South Austin 52373]

So not HEB brand, but I bought this queso at HEB over the weekend and it was pretty damn good.  Throw in some seasoned ground beef and diced japs (peppers, not orientals).

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t think cowgirl is an appropriate word to see printed in public.

[Native Horn 3498]

Do you prefer lrigwoc?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I am still upset about HEB discontinuing Adam’s Best Pecan Pie Ice Cream. To the point where I told them they are idiots for doing so. They politely told me they would pass my message along.

agreed.  very solid fridge queso that keeps for a long time, not that it'll last

[idigTexas 2284]

Someone should start a "shit I buy at HEB that isn't made by them" thread. 

[4th&Five 41499]

I appreciate the recs myself whether they make it or not.

At least they could stock Adam's Not Too Bad, Pretty Good, Even If It's Not His Best Pecan Pie Ice Cream.

I’m pissed because my  because the closest  Heb  to me stopped carrying the Central Market Saigon Cinnamon ice cream.    I’d have to go to the Plus store 30 mins away to get my fix.     

BUT it looks like HEB is finally getting their crap together and starting to utility work on a new store that is less than 5 mins from me.   It’s not going to be a Plus store, but it will have all the other stuff the  Plus stores offer as far as food items which include all the Central Market stuff, Meals ready to go,  expanded deli, meat counters, sushi, freshly made Italian style pizzas (which are badass btw), etc.

The Italian style pizzas are bad ass, if I’m thinking about what you’re thinking about. Really like the sundried tomato and basil pizza. The cheese is the large round slices that melts kind of in a glob, and the crust is way better than any of the other fresh pizza they make. A solid choice when I’m too lazy to make my own dough.

The HEB queso in the refrigerated cheese section is actually quite decent, both regular and queso blanco.

Yep. Nine minutes in the oven and done. Beats waiting for delivery or frozen pizza!

These are damn good and taste pretty close to Chick-fil-A, since there is some dill somewhere in there. I've tried the Sam's club nuggets that are similar and these are better.

[Fudbelty 2787]

Ours opened today. Wasn’t about to attempt to enter that madness. In other news Wal Mart two minutes down the road was the deadest I’ve ever seen it.

Brined in pickle juice before they are breaded.  They are good as shit.

Might have to pick some of these up later today...  Do you bake or fry them?  

[deft 6812]

Air fryer homie. You’ll never use anything else ever again.

This man speaks of the truth.

but was it even open today ?

[spystud13 2371]

Bought the green salsa-in-a-bag since there's finally a relatively close location, pretty goddamn good. Will try the other varieties next time. 

Also grabbed the chicken strips & seasoned taco meat from the last couple pages.  

[Fudbelty 2787]

I thought it smelled funky out at the house.

[SurlyBDR 22740]

Not at my HEB yet

Buy two rolls and get a free bottle of liquid smoke and lighter fluid.

[abuelo gringo 321]

 

We buy these when a vegetarian niece is coming to a family gathering.  Tasty, even for an old carnivore like me.

I think only available at Central Markets, however.

Negged.

Kale should only be a garnish around salad bar containers.

[DougO 5242]

HEB has the best birds of any grocery chain. Spotted a bunch of Western Kingbirds, a couple of scissortails, nighhawks and this mockingbird the other night, among others.

 

[Deej 76735]

What's the price per pound?

[HenryJames 65969]

I just spotted about a thousand grackles.

[spystud13 2371]

Someone on this thread recommended the breakfast flautas... They are fucking AWFUL. Do not buy.

If you buy variety bags of chips, get these. 

https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-zesty-chips-variety-pack/1167919

Their versions of Lay’s SC&O/BBQ, Doritos Nacho Cheese/Cool Ranch, Cheetos/Puff Balls. 

Damn good. 

[BradInATX 9208]

Anyone else get irrationally pissed off at the spectrum sales reps who bark at you on your way in/out? Really grinds my gears. Probably the only poor brand decision I've ever seen them (HEB) make.

This shit is pretty damn tasty on salads or fish tacos

I used to eat the shit out of these in college.    They probably had week's worth of sodium in them, but quick and quite tasty for microwavable dinner.

I might just pick one up next time I'm at HEB for old times sake.

[4th&Five 41499]

I ate those two at a time in HS and still couldn't gain weight.

[DougO 5242]

I used to get that Nighthawk dinner with an actual hunk of steak, not ground, and a potato triangle, and that butter based steak sauce that was pretty awesome. I never could figure out what was in it besides the butter.
