We have either HEB (a Texas chain grocer) or Walmart in the whole county. Our HEB stocks the rejects from other stores, ugh. As a result it will have empty shelves or an entire aisle of mustard so the grocery list is never all purchased. The family is always asking why I didn’t get xyz. Hey, welcome to the US version of Venezuela. It’s prices are cheaper than Walmart so I’ll buy canned goods but will drive 3 towns over to Walmart for fresh produce.
Sadly, Walmart doesn’t have reduced to sale that day on their meats anymore. I now have to watch for meat sales at HEB but the meat counter is teeny tiny and hardly ever has more than 2-4 packages each on the very basic cuts. I have to make them go to the back for more meat and dairy. They did have chuck roasts for $2.99 most of the summer so filled the freezer with those. I did happen to catch a couple of manager specials recently on sausage for 50 cents/lb. so grabbed as much as they’d let have. Now, it’s back to 50 cent/lb bags of chicken quarters.
Hey Yard Dog.
I have been using HEB for years and have not encountered any of the problems you mentioned. I like HEB. Their customer service is outstanding.
My HEB is one of their “Superstores” and is always good.
I am in Fort Bend County in Texas, and usually go to two HEB stores. Both stores are clean and well-stocked, and I can find everything there.
The only time I go to Wal-Mart is to get Joseph's Pitas and Lavash bread, which are lower in carbs. Only Wal-Mart has them.
