Let me introduce you guys to a famous Texas grocery store, HEB…
This Texas grocery store chain first originated in the town of Kerrville, Texas, about an hour north of San Antonio, back in 1905. Since then, this Texas supermarket has spread out to over three hundred locations, but it still remains ONLY in the state of Texas.
Two years ago, an HEB was built about three miles from my house. Let me tell you some of my friends were ABSOLUTELY OVER THE MOON about this! I’m not a native Texan so I didn’t fully grasp the level of excitement {I’m still not fully there but working on it} I should have had. Since then I’ve learned that HEB is REALLY great at any disaster relief. That store is one of the first to step in if any Texas city has an issue. They also have great customer service and family values, which are two things really important to me.
I do most of my grocery shopping online and have them delivered right to my house. I shop at Walmart, my local grocery store, and now HEB. I know some of you reading are HEB enthusiasts and I hope you have lots of suggestions for things I need to purchase. {I’d actually LOVE some goodies to add to my next order.}. The first time I shopped at HEB I googled, “What are the musts from HEB?”.
After a couple years of shopping, I thought I’d add my own thoughts on what you should snag from HEB. :). Like I said, if you have some suggestions, please share!
First things first, I got caught in the “fall” section of HEB online and ended up with some goodies. These Maple Creme Sandwich Cookies are absolutely delicious! I live for a vanilla sandwich cookie and these are some of the best I’ve ever had.
I added these to my online cart, groceries were delivered on Saturday, and this is the pic I took of the Pumpkin Donut Holes yesterday. They were almost completely gone {because they were delicious!}.
Oh boo…I forgot to take a picture of the FRONT of these chips. These chips aren’t just sold at HEB but I thought they were worth sharing. Have you ever tried the Kettle Cooked Chips by Siete? I accidentally got a bag in an order once and my family was impressed. Since then, I’ve bought them for our house and HEB sells a mixed variety of individual bags for lunches.
I’m always looking for new things to make lunches interesting and I think this Bare Bread will be a fun treat. Crustless bread?! I’d have LOVED this as a kid!
My VERY favorite Good Culture Cottage Cheese is always sold out, but I found it this week in these small one-serving containers. {If you live in McKinney and know what other grocery stores sell this cottage cheese, will you please share? Also, Sheaffer, I apologize for not dropping any off at your house.}
HEB is KNOWN for their HOMEMADE tortillas. They come in “butter” or regular. We like them both. They’re SO good!
Mom hack here with the HEB Bone Broth. It’s a great price, helps add protein to any random meal, and tastes great. I stock up on this every time I order and use it in place of regular broth in any recipe.
One cup contains 9 grams of protein. This week we’re having it in a pasta + a soup.
Two things I LOVE about HEB grocery delivery…
- When ordering deli lunch meat, the system will ask how you’d like your meat cut. You can choose your slice preference {just like you get to choose in store} and then you choose the amount.
- When you order fresh produce, you get to choose how ripe you’d like the fruits and vegetables {which is REALLY helpful}.
When I realized I could make those selections through HEB delivery, I remember excitedly calling friends and telling them! haha! Apparently, the ability to choose “ready to eat” avocados + ripe bananas is the way to my heart.
Okay, I’m not a Texas native, but I’m doing my part to fall in love with their grocery store. What about you?? Any Texas girls here who have some HEB faves?!
