So I drank the HEB Koolaid...

When we moved to this part of Texas a couple years ago a freind of mine kept talking about a chain of grocery stores called HEB(The name actually stands for Here Everything's Better). I didn't really pay too much attetion just because I've always been a Walmart shopper. But she assured me that HEB's prices were just as good if not better than Walmart AND the selection and quality was
better. So finally about a month ago I went with her to check out all the wonderfulness that is HEB. After my tag along trip I was sold! I checked the prices as we walked up and down the aisles of their very nice store. Every price was marked as low as what I would normally pay for things especially baby stuff! The produce was FRESH and sometimes less than what we normally pay...for example 4lbs of bananas for a DOLLAR! They have special in store deals and coupons and anyone who has been watching the new couponing shows know how important in store coupons are. They had a fresh deli, bakery,sushi,and floral departments that rival any gourmet/speciality shops I've been to. They even make their own HOMEMADE TORTILLAS that are fantastic!
So after being sucked in by the HEB awesomeness I made arrangements for someone to watch the twins while Tru and I did our big shopping trip a couple weeks ago and I saved about $50! I'm no professional couponer,yet, but $50 bucks is pretty darn good for two weeks worth of groceries! As I'm writting this now I have been prepping for my next HEB trip by going online to look at their weekly ads and in store coupons. They have weekly ads that change every Wednesday. The only negative is the closest HEB store is 28 miles away and even with the crazy gas prices I happily drive those miles for the great savings they provide. Let me just end this post on a happy note...an HEB store will be opening here in town this fall. I WILL be one happy shopper!

If you live in Texas you'd like to check them out here's the link!
