Looking for my local HEB (Texas) to begin accepting pesos.

Why not?

All the stuff they sell is labeled in Spanish.

"All the stuff they sell is labeled in Spanish."

That was actually a business decision by HEB several years ago. I remember seeing a speech by an HEB executive I think in 2003. He said they were specifically targeting Hispanic customers as part of a marketing strategy to deal with the entrance of Wal-mart into the grocery business. They knew they could not compete with Wal-mart on price, so they decided to target specific market segments.

Every time I go to Texas, I go to the biggest HEB I can find and stock up on all the Mexican stuff I can’t get here, such as machaca, Tajin, special achiote, etc. and then UPS it to myself here on the East Coast. I love HEB.

I love HEB. I won’t shop for groceries anywhere else. I love their international foods.
