Serious? I’m not going to bash Walmart as a retail entity, but their produce and house brands are not even close to HEB. As a central Texan, I don’t know anyone who would disagree. Are you some Walmart exec who lives in Delaware? Reply, if you get the Ray Wylie Hubbard reference. For those who do, “... ... we’re from Texas”

No offense intended-but bgill and I were describing the HEB stores we are familiar with in rural areas-and they do put all the good stuff in the stores in higher dollar, more densely populated areas-like cities-that is their marketing strategy. Walmart started as a store in small rural communities-I remember when everyone got all excited when a Walmart was being opened in the nearest town-that was their marketing strategy-and when it comes to grocery shopping in small towns, in my opinion, Walmart still wipes the floor with HEB-especially when it comes to selection, freshness and price of produce. If y’all live in a city, I’m sure HEB outdoes Walmart-but that is not the case here in BFE...
