H‑E‑B is the best thing about Texas! There’s also something to be said about the wonders of not being a publicly owned company. They were prepared for the pandemic before it even hit us. They had their eye on what was happening in China and started stocking their warehouses accordingly. They handled the freeze like a champ and for their communities vs for their bottom line. They hit the ground running after Texas weather disasters. ❤️ H‑E‑B. They should just run the state.

As a Texan, I was so excited to watch this video! I will always sing HEB's praises. Not only is their variety and pricing great but they also contribute to the community. They have sponsored my dog rescue group's fund raising events for years, when we have a grass fire they always send out snacks and Gatorade for the fire fighters and they have even brought in 18 wheelers full of washers and dryers for free use when my city's water system was compromised. Forever throwing my money at HEB and happy to do so.

Reasons I will never move from San Antonio, Texas: the food I could never leave my taquerias and Whataburger, the absolute sheer volume selection and quality of HEB their store brands are just as good if not better than national brands in taste and cost, turnarounds I was shocked when I found out other states didn’t have these. They improve traffic flow and make so much sense.

Hi Christine. I’m live in Central Texas. I can’t even image having to live without HEB. The HEB brand, the excellent produce, the great employees… They get all my grocery money. Have a wonderful back home.

We love our HEB! I have two daughters that work there! I have to say that they take really good care of their employees! Every time I go I find something that I’ve never seen before. Glad you liked your trip!

I’m so glad to live in Texas, HEB is the bomb. One of my new favorites is the queso with brisket mix in the deli dept. open the package, dump in crock pot, add some liquid of your choice, from beer to beef broth, and heat until everything is melted. Eat with chips or on a baked potato! They had their game on during Covid with grocery pickup, too. Wonderful! Did you make it to a Buccees? They are the kings of snack foods, shopping, and cleanest bathrooms EVER!

Happiness is watching a video with Christine, Dave, Harley, Andrew, Tyler and Ryan doing a taste-test. You all are hilarious and I could watch a taste-testing marathon with y’all. Who needs Netflix? 😆🤣😂

My mom, born in 1939, taught us that a “pee-can” was something you kept under your bed so you didn’t have to go to the outhouse at night. This Alabama girl definitely says pecan with NO long vowel sounds! I would love to visit that HEB as a vacation destination if I could get free shipping to get everything back home. 😂

One of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather from Ohio who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was alsmo in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years, cae up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners (for the KETO portion of the meal), macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts - a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" - but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo." He told me how it wasn't unusual for farmers to donate a hen or two and maybe a couple of dozen eggs, in return for a brief barnyard slapstick performance by a couple of the boys for the farmer, his family and his hired hands.. He also told me as soon as he got back to camp with the chickens, the alcoholic Geek who traveled with them would inevitably beg permission to bite the heads of the pullets when Gamps. She was the seamstress - making a good number of the clown suits from her own design and repairing all them when required. So of course Gram and Gran rolled along from town- to -town with a big foot pump operated sewing machine in their trailer, - in addition to all the pots, pants, cutlery, stirrers, etc. My Dad was born in a campground in Posey County, Indiana, delivered by a local midwife and plopped into a casserole baking dish as soon as Gramps cut the umbilical cord with his second best onion chopping knife. As for me, I married young and did well for myself in doing so. My wife is the daughter of an outdoor parking lot magnate in a major city in Ohio. I was dowried with three downtown lots. I've had a comfortable life pretty much doing whatever I want all day while other people collect money on my behalf while sitting down in booths, watching TV, reading (or even snoozing between customers arriving and honking the horns to wake 'em up). Consequently, for awhile, I was able to open a couple of storefront business which specialized in selling "clown suits for the whole family," including custom made if somebody wanted them - and even clown suits for the family pets. The seamstresses I hired used Gram's patterns, of course. . The stores were called "Hem and Ha!" - and with every sale, I usually threw in a copy of one of Gramps' recipes for a clown casseroles, "silly stew," "buffoon bread, "Punchinello Porridge,," or what have you. Of course, they all pair well with seltzer water, ramps was ready to get those birds cooking. Seemed that this particular Geek actually not only savored the taste of the live chickens he was required to eat (which were usually provided by the promoter of the event at which the troupe was performing) - but craved more when "off=the-clock" Talk about a Carnivore diet!! Wow!!! Reportedly, he was known to comment that "live chicken pairs well with a pint of Carstairs White Seal Blended."

Aww, the ending cuddle. I wish I had that in my life.

Their customer service is top notch, amazing goods/food, their response during the pandemic and through natural disasters, meal deals, combo locos and their debit card that gives you $$$ on their brands. The gas is the best price too! And yeah the tortillas are amazing…you should have got the southwest and made pinwheels with laughing cow cheese and their Cajun smoked turkey. They sell freshly cooked crawfish when in season, fire roast hatch chilies outside when in season…I could go on forever. I missed them so much when my husband was stationed out of state.

I'm only at the 4 minute mark of the video and I would have purchased as much non-perishable food/beverage items that I know I couldn't get back in my home state and purchase shipping items, packed everything up and just sent them out to my home or fam/friends house until I got home!! This is what I did back in '96 when I went to Hawaii, bought items and shipped them back home (I did have family to receive it at home). How fun to have your entire family taste test with you, your kids are adorable!

I’ve definitely taken H‑E‑B’s gloriousness for granted all my life as a native Texan. 😂

Aside from HEB, we can also find them occassionally at our Dollar General in Godley, TX! They are quite large for a Little Debbie snack, but the flavor is really good- not super strong, just right!!

HEB continously gives back to their communities by participating in EVERYTHING that benefits everyone. HEB was prepared for the pandemic before the rest of the world was. They treat both their employees and customers well. They definitely focus on philanthropy and it shows. HEB for president.

My heart is smiling so big with happiness for yall!! So glad you got to go to HEB and take us along with you. I had a blast watching you enjoy all of those goodies during your taste tests too. I make a 30 minute drive once a month just to go to HEB here and Stockup. All of their stuff is good, and the people that work there are always so nice. I'm just so happy for yall!! 😍

Hi Christine, I've been following you for quite a while now from down here in New Zealand and I just want to say thank you for always cheering me up. You and you're family are always so positive and happy and you make me laugh. Keep them coming.

Loved this video! Your family is too cute! Christine, you are the mom that everyone wishes they had!

Your family is great! I love that they're willing to try anything!

What got me most about this video is that the store is fully stocked and neat. Our stores have huge holes where inventory should be and inventory stacked in the aisles because there aren't enough employees to stock it.

I LOVE HEB! We live near Austin and we have HEB stores ALL over. They aren't all as big as the store you're in, but the core products are universal. But my daughter lives in the Dallas area and they've never had HEB stores up there. The story goes that the founder of HEB made a verbal promise to the owners of Albertsons and Kroger stores decades ago, that he wouldn't develop in that area for "x" number of years. Just last week the first HEB in that area opened in Frisco, TX. My daughter says the lines to get in were insane and there were no places to park. In my area, there is no other store for me; only HEB. Their ads on TV say it best: HEB--Here Everything's Better. Love watching you and your cute family!

I remember 20 plus years ago traveling around Texas and shopping at HEB and being amazed by their variety. I loved that store even back then.

So worth it!!! I have relatives in Texas. Whenever we're there for visits I schedule in a trip to HEB. I have a list of all kinds of great things that I can only find at HEB. It is grocery heaven!!!!!

I loved seeing how excited you are about being at an HEB. I just finished a long shift at the HEB Plus I work at and this made my day.

Yup. HEB is wonderful. 🤗

Hope you enjoyed your time here! I shop at HEB all the time, and you're right it has become like Trader Joe's used to be for us, especially since we have to drive almost 2 hours to get to the nearest one in Austin. It was fun to see all your family in this video, especially during the sour strips taste tests.

You are a bunch of fun crazies♡♡♡ I love that everyone participated in taste testing. Thanks for the entertainment Be well

I LOVE Heb. I've been in Texas since 2001 and don't think I could live without it. I live about an hour away from one but do not mind the drive to get all the delicious things they have to offer! If you go to HEB on Saturday or Sunday you have to get the barbacoa they make in store that is amazing. Word to the wise you have to go early as they sometimes put a special together with the fresh HEB tortillas!!

Welcome home! I rarely shop at HEB, but only because it is SO HUGE! I just don't have time to go through there to get groceries. The variety, especially of Texas-made products, is incredible!

We went to at least 3 different HEBs and loved them all!!!! We also tried those Apple Pie chips and they were weird. We did keep eating them though. 😀 Got some borracho beans, tortillas, Best Maid pickles, and Gebhardts chili powder. We also got some of the Chupacabra seasoning and the HEB Texas seasonings. Great minds! Oh and we got to go to the Blue Bell factory in Brenham!!

Oh my goodness! Literally laughing out loud. I can’t eat gluten so I was vicariously living through your taste testing. Made me so happy. Thank you for your content!

H-E-B is the best!!!! Besides being a great grocery store it is an amazing place to work. They treat their employees like family.

We lived south of Houston, HEB wasn't there before 1989. We lived there between 1978 & 1989. I'll be looking for it on our next trip, for sure. Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips are great for Apple Pie filling with crushed Red Hots or a drop or maybe 2 of cinnamon oil mixed in. A rif on Taco John's Apple Grande' although cinnamon sugar flour tortilla chips are better. I agree with Andrew about the turnaround lanes. Love you all ♡♡♡♡♡♡

I miss HEB so much more now after this video. Thanks for the laughs!

Front porches! Yesss!! And my mama would totally agree with you on Blue Bell Ice Cream. Both good Southern things. Thank the good Lord we have them both in Mississippi as well. I lived in Austin for a year and yes...I loved HEB! My sister and I still talk about it. 😁 So glad y’all had a good trip!
