*** How many of the folks buy ten of something with a coupon? ***

Lol, I love LaSierra Charro Beans. I went to stock up, having consumed nineteen cans of them over the past few months. Wow, an unexpected bonus, there were in-store coupons for buy one, get a can of refried beans free. I ended up with 20 cans for $10.80.

In Texas, we eat lots of beans, tamales, etc.

You should try the HEB chili. Not the one in the red can but the white and brownish label. Maybe has “Texas” in the name (can’t be bothered to go look). They were on sale with a store coupon (the only coupons my HEB accepts!) for BOGO. Good stuff. They’re higher priced than the regular red label but lower than every other can on the shelf with the coupon.

HEB would save money by eliminating store coupons and just lowering the price of everything. Still it’s cheaper than Wally World but it has crap fresh produce other HEBs refuse to accept.

Speaking of tamales, at the beginning of this current prepping, the masa, tortilla flour, regular flour and cornmeal were out of stock. Also, missing from the shelves were Asian seasonings. That is telling. Though there were still plenty of dried pinto beans and rice.

I’ve never understood the need for tortilla flour when regular flour is cheaper and does the job.

I don’t bother looking at canned beans as the price gives me palpitations. Only thing worse is the price of store tamales and they taste awful, too. Make your own.
