Well, if Wal-Mart is having to lower its prices to match HEB then why would HEB do the same? We are in the Austin area and HEB beats them on groceries.

Summer, HEB stands for the H.(Howard?)E. Butts grocery chain. Yes, we now know why it goes by intials and not the full name! LOL. I think the family also started Safeway at one time but am not quite sure of all the facts there. I believe HEB is headquartered in San Antonio.

HEB never had anything to do with Safeway as far as I know. HEB was actually started in town outside of San Antonio. Not real sure but maybe Kerrville or Fredricksburg. They do give Wal-Mart a lot of competition as far as groceries go. Much better selection and as cheap if not cheaper most of the time.

I am not saying that item by item that Wal-Mart is lower on every single thing. Overall they are lower priced though and if HEB is running a "loss leader" Wal-Mart will match their price on that or any item that you might find lower at HEB.

My question is will HEB match any lower price on any item that both stores carry if Wal-Marts price is lower?
