HEB butter tortillas warmed up with honey butter spread is super yummy.

I fell in love with HEB when I visited my sister in San Antonio. Quality, cleanliness, beautiful stores with wonderful staff. Nothing like them here in New Jersey 😢😮😢

One of the best things about HEB is that green check you see on so many of their products ....it means it does not include sooooo many ingredients we avoid at my house. No artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or literally hundreds of other things

Is Ingles a chain or independent grocery store? I am in CA currently and I don’t recall any blogger or YTer mentioning that name.

Love that you enjoyed HEB! It's hard not to love. They treat their employees well, and they promote local farmers and businesses.

I loved HEB when we lived in Texas. However, my first trip resulted in tears from feeling overwhelmed. I had never been in such a big and busy grocery store before. Also, I was pregnant so that might have contributed to the tears. 😂

I am a San Antonio local; so glad you got to visit HEB!! We are so proud of HEB's here in Texas. The little yellow hanging coupons are the best. And yes-- I've also been to Ted's in OKC...they r so good and we love their salsa and sopapillas❤

The best grocery store of all time! Each time I've moved from Texas I deeply missed HEB. Never leaving again I just can't give up my favorite store. They now offer a Cashback debit card. 5% off all store brands. I almost exclusively buy the HEB brands. So stoked for this new avenue of savings. HEB girl for life! Whoa yeah!

I love that you enjoyed our H-E-B stores here in Texas! A little higher pricing than Walmart but the the quality makes it worth it. I have noticed that H‑E‑B store brand foods sometimes surpass the original brand. Cream of Poblano soup is another good item to to snag! It has elevated several of my recipes.

I would argue a lot of the prices are less than Walmart. Especially their store brand and HEB store brand is much higher quality than great value on most items.

I miss H-E-B so very much this is torture. I lived in Pasadena TX and we had a wonderful store that had a real sushi maker and held cooking of new recipes and products in the middle of store sometimes with named chefs. The bakery was epic and fruits and veggies OH my! I miss my OPAL apples.😢😢😢😢

I hope y’all enjoyed Fredericksburg, you chose a great time to visit, it’s one of our favorite spots for a weekend getaway!

As most of you should know by now from the national news reports, several parts of Mississippi were hit by tornadoes on Friday night. Much loss of life and of property. Several small towns are now gone--just flattened. Please pray for my state and our people---all of us whether or not directly affected by this devastation are hurting. Mindy, I would not normally make some sort of personal plug on a comment like this, but felt this one was needed. Thanks, Frances

i am very familiar with the howard edward butt family. a little trivia from a 4th generatiion texan. sorry, texans don't brag...lol! we have big story's for a big state! back when mrs. butt was alive and being the baptist that she was (because here we go by baptists law, not texas law')...she would instruct all of her HEB truckers to not render aid if they saw a beer truck broken down on the side of the road. 'mighty christian of them'...they never sold any kind of alcohol...i'll bet grandpa butt would have come out of his grave...if he found out they started selling beer...i have a neice who lives in kerrville...great place...especially if you are baptists...lol

My daughter ships me the HEB coffee from Houston! I get the orange label called Taste of San Antonio. Oh my word it's good. A family member went to visit her this Summer and brought me back 6 bags!! I'm going in July and will stock up. We are in Alabama so I only get there once a year. Very cool store!

If the coffee tastes burnt, add a sprinkle of salt in the grounds right on top before brewing. It cuts the bitterness

Pee can … but I’m South African and we are a former British colony and have very heavy English influence.

We absolutely LOVE warm butter tortillas. We stop to pick them up as we leave our daughters home when we visit and we get four or five slices of deli turkey and four or five slices of cheese and that is our lunch in the car as we travel down the road. There is nothing better than a warm bag of butter tortillas.

I work for heb in Killeen/Ft. Hood ❤️so glad you did a video at heb

Watching grocery hauls has made me want to check out HEB so much I've been looking at planning a trip to Texas 😂 Love seeing so many things people recommend in one video for reference.

Yes!! HEB is THE best!!! We are definitely spoiled here. (Also, we honeymooned in Fredericksburg- that was 20 years ago. It’s beautiful. Hope you loved it.)

For the coffee, always get whole bean if you can! We are blessed to have many HEBs in my area. I buy the Houston Blend in their coffee and it’s always been great :) I also LOVE their sushiya sushi bar - the San Antonio roll, firecracker roll and loaded pot stickers are wonderful.

HEB is my favorite store ever as well. I only lived in Texas for 2 years about 25 years ago, but it was the best. I say Pe-cawn.

I was a loyal HEB grocery shopper until one day i put something in my online cart a HEB and the item was not in stock. I went over to Walmart and put the same item in my cart only to see it was significantly lower priced lower. I know HEB raises the cost of items for online ordering by a few cents but the difference was too much for it to be just based on the few cents. I tested it out by physically comparison shopping at each store and there was still a huge difference. As an example; on June 13, 2023 HEB 4 ct. (1lb.) sweet cream butter was $4.97. Great Value 4 ct. (1lb.) sweet cream butter $3.98. None of these prices reflect a sale. I just thought I was saving money at HEB and I may have been at one time but now i don't shop HEB unless I have absolutely have to. I don't love that i shop at WM but I want our income to go further.

i agree. i buy many grocery items at walmart...in fact where i live there are more items available at walmart with lower prices... i have had to watch expiration dates pretty close at HEB even though covid isn't bad anymore...it started during covid.

I’m so glad you loved H‑E‑B! It is by far my favorite store, and I often say my family prefers the store brand over the name brand on most items. Also, I’m so jealous you’re in the Fredericksburg area, we go at least once a year and love every second of it. It’s such a beautiful and unique area 😃

I lived in Houston Texas for 14 years and then moved to Tennessee 4 years ago and I MISS HEB. 😭 They had some great products and great sales/coupons. Thankfully I still have family in Texas that will bring me things when they drive up to visit me. 😊

Such a fun video. I love visiting grocery stores in other areas.

My husband is retired military and I loved HEB when we lived in West Texas. Oh my goodness the best were their homemade flour tortillas coming out nice and warm. So fresh and so good. I sure miss that place.

When I lived in Texas HEB was my store. Love the specials where you bought one thing and got other items for free. Miss it so much.

We eat it cold. You can also use whipped cream cheese instead of sour cream. Both good, just different!

I love HEB, some items are regional, but I have several HEBs in the Rio Grande Valley to go to. My closest one is small and doesn't have a lot of choices, but just 8 miles away is a much bigger one. The fajitas meat is really good and we love it on chef/steak salad. We also like the HEB natural peanut butter. I'm not a fan of flavored coffees at all, but the Italian roast beans I love. That ice cream is to die for, we love the mocha and homemade vanilla.

That coffee is my favorite coffee I dog sit and I live in Wichita Kansas and when they go see their grandkids in Texas they always bring me that coffee back my favorite of all time

I'll be going from south Louisiana to Amarillo in April & I always stop at WinCo & HEB

My father-in-law say a pee can is what we used to put under the bed at night. From a Louisiana boy who had Paton trees they would harvest from 😊

I used to live in Houston and didn’t like it much, but I do miss HEB. It was my happy place. It’s THAT amazing. I was fresh out of college and could pick up my groceries fit the week there for $30-$45 each week. Then got married and never spent more that $80 and that was including booze! 😆

This is fun! I'm in San Antonio and love going to Fredericksburg! ❤ The HEB canned beans are good! The green sauce is good warm. 😋 I love Braum's because it's so cheap! I go there when visiting my daughter at OU. I agree with the HEB packaged coffee - not a fan but the fresh ground is good!

I live about 50 miles north of Frisco, and I haven’t made it in that store yet because the crowd is unreal, no place to park. There also is new new HEB in Plano, Texas that just recently opened. I am so excited that HEB is going to build in Prosper, Texas which is closer to me, hopefully they put in enough parking spots. I have visited and loved the HEB stores in south Texas many times, and I am super excited to have a few HEB stores that are reasonably close to my home !!!

I’m from Houston and we go to Fredericksburg regularly. I think I’ve stayed in that very vacation rental before. I hope y’all had a blast.

I have been to Ted’s and could make a meal out of that starter of the salsa, pickled carrots, onion and jalapeños and the fresh TORTILLA and cheese dip. I am always so full BEFORE the meal arrives. Such a cool restaurant. Have also been to the Norman location and it is really good too. I say pa-kan not pee- can hehe. Now if you go to the East Coast try the grocery store called Wegmans. So so good!!! Love it!

Heb is the best grocery store ever! Everything recommended are my family’s routine buys. Plus, their prices are amazing. I get sticker shock when I go into other grocery stores.

OK you have finally convinced me! We had HEB growing up in San Antonio but to me it was just another grocery store. I'm next door to Frisco so will drag my ass over and check out some of your recs. YUM!

That store looks amazing! I wish we had one here. Though there is an American store not impossibly far away from me so I really need to pop in and see what goodies they have! Thank you for the video!

Grocery story envy is something I have as well!!! Love your channel

You were so close to the town which I live!! We love H‑E‑B! It was actually started in Kerrville, TX my hometown! 😊

Very nice finds! If I ever get to TX, I'll need to visit HEB!!

Yep, from okc here and yes completely agree with how we measure tortillas! My in laws live in Texas so anytime they bring us tortillas!

I am from Texas. I have shopped at HEB all of my life. You are not wrong about their brand of coffee. I also think it tastes burnt. The Texas Pecan is probably the best. I hope you enjoyed your time in Texas.

Love HEB. HEB brand foods are so much better than the national brands. The HEB stores in the Houston area offers crawfish and shrimp boils during the season. Also, they give opportunities for minority and women owned vendors to sell in their stores. Two of my friends have products in their stores. Hope you enjoyed your vacation in Texas.❤

I was so excited when H‑E‑B finally opened a store in my area of West Texas. Btw…”Pea-can” is a container for little round green veggies NOT the nut from the state tree of Texas (meaning that Texans can be trusted to know the correct pronunciation 😜).

He is the one that makes the money and drives(my anxiety just can't) so we will go again at some point.😨

Lol I say it like u do. I have nvr been to TX but I have seen KZreadrs post about this store great finds!

Being from the Texas Panhandle, I miss Braums. I live in Houston and hardly ever go to HEB.

Love H-E-B, most of the store brands are better than brand name. I say pecan differently depending on what I'm describing.

here is a little coffee refresher tip.. try re-grinding it in your home. put some in your nutribullet and whizz it for a couple of pulses.. then brew it - sometimes you need to reawaken the grounds -it has worked for all sorts of coffees and perhaps, that may make a taste difference thats pleasing for you.
