What Exactly Is HEB?





HEB.

I love it.

But some people have no idea what it is. It's a grocery store. A wonderful grocery store. It was created by Florence Butt, which makes me go like this:



His son Howard Edward Butt took over. So that's why it's called HEB. But obviously they couldn't have BUTT in a grocery store name because...




HEB is only in Texas. Before we lived in Texas I would insist we go to one whenever we visited my parents. And now that we live here, I can go whenever I want. And trust me, I do.

So why do I love HEB? Let me show you.


1. The bakery is amazing.




(Look at all the ICING!)


2. There are cookies.



3. Watching your waistline? Well, there's healthy stuff too.




4. You can get ready to cook meats. I get this chicken a lot.



5. The candy aisle goes on for AGES!



6. There are coupons! Sometimes if you buy one thing, you get a bunch of stuff for free. For example, I bought my daughter a lunchbox and got several items for nothing. Tissues. Mini candy bars. Cheez-It snack bags.



Those are just some of the reasons. But really, there are tons of amazing things to find. And they have a gigantic booze section if the kids are giving you a hard time.

So yes, I love HEB. If you live in Texas, make sure you go. If you visit Texas, you should go. You won't be sorry.


Have you ever been to HEB?

  1. I haven't been. I wish my town had a normal store, though. We have a superstore that rarely has decent produce and a fancy store that charges an arm and a leg for produce. I can't win!

  2. Never even been to Texas. That candy aisle definitely caught me eye. Not as much as the bakery! Those monster cakes are too adorable. Are those macaroons I spot by the cookies!? Maybe I'm going crazy due to you expressing baked goods. Thanks a lot...haha.
    Do you have Meijer or Kroger down there?

  3. Love!! The icing...yes please! We have Kroger Marketplace and it's pretty cool.
    Sushi bar, sandwiche station, in store made tortillas. BUT this place looks so much better. I'm jealous!!
    PS the first time I went in Trader Joes I lost my mind lol. Idk why I just love that place. Hahaha. I was like omg need this, want this, need this...

  4. the cookies by the pound thing is awesome!!! I work for Kroger so I'd probably be shunned if I shopped at a HEB ever. Ha. Kidding... I've heard their bakeries are pretty legendary. I see why now!

  6. Never been but I always wanted to visit.
    Up here we have Wegmans which seems similar to this. It's a magical place and there aren't many in the world at all.

  7. looks like a great store. the best grocery store i've ever been to is wegman's, but it's not close enough to warrant going all the time.

  8. I miss their freshly made tortillas and their vegetable pot stickers. They were so good. I loved their meat department. Publix here in Florida is pretty similar to HEB, but I liked that HEB was affordable while Publix is pretty expensive.

  11. I just miss American supermarkets. Or even the ones from England. Sing sucks!!!! WAAAAAHHHHH

  12. I like my supermarkets small so I can go in buy the stuff on my list and leave. We have an Aldi around the corner which is perfect.

  20. O M G!!! Look at that bakery, those cakes, those cookies! I would be in serious trouble if I lived near one of these stores. I had actually never heard of HEB before and I did actually laugh out loud reading why it is called HEB :)

  29. I have never been to HEB, but I have been to Wegmans. I wonder how the two compare to each other.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Look at those amazing cakes! Very reasonably priced too - I can see why you love it so much!

    ReplyDelete
  31. That is such a funny back story. The grocery store looks so good and those cookies and cakes look so yummy. I would be there every single day buying them and that would be very bad.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The name is kinda hilarious but it's really worth it to go there! Especially since they have a lot of good deals! I'd love to visit when I'm in Texas.

  33. Looks like a great grocery store. What a funny story to the name.

  34. I've heard of HEB a few times from a Texas based influencer I follow..don't they have lots of wine too? LOL love the GIFS you used as well.

    ReplyDelete
  35. So we have never been to HEB, but we started ordering coffee from them when one of my husband's friends introduced him to the Texas Pecan flavored coffee they sell. Haha I had no idea it was only in Texas... if we're ever there we'll be sure to visit!

    ReplyDelete
  36. That bakery looks SO darn good! I used to visit Texas about once a month or so for work and always saw HEBs when I was driving around, but never went in. Now I'm kicking myself!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I haven't heard of this before. Looks so good. Such unique and different types of foods. I have to check to see if it is my neighborhood.

  40. Although the store have a quite intriguing name, the products they sell looks awesome! No wonder you love shopping here.

  41. I never knew what H.E.B. stood for. I also did not realize all the bakery and ready to cook products that they have to offer. I live a few miles from an H.E.B. and will now be paying them a visit more often!
