Is the store called HEB or is that an abbreviation?

Wow thats a great deal! Thats gonna be some good stuff down the line

It is called HEB, the man who started the chain was H.E. Butt, My favorite grocery store.

As Monel stated, H.E.B. is short for Howard E Butt the founder, although watching the new commercials you think it stands for "Here Everything is Better". But as a prior employee, let me tell you, they are proud of their name. Too bad they treat the majority of their workers like crap. I mean seriously, I am a grown man, it was my second job, and when I went on break I HAD to carry an egg timer which was set by the supervisor to go off in 15minutes. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? I was like ok this is pushing it, but when I said I need Thursdays off for school (again I was part time, but worked 7 days a week for 39hrs-so they didnt have to pay me more money or benefits) when I asked for Thursday nights off for school they told me NO, I am part time, I work when THEY say. I put my notice in that night.

When I was in San Antonio, there were several of them in town. The joke at the time was that H.E.B. was talking about a merger with Piggly Wiggly, but they wouldn't do it because they didn't want to be named Wiggly Butts. It was a chain store about like Kroger.

wish i was near there, those are 1960 prices.

Wow, 400# of beans......I hope you ordered a couple cases of Beano to go with that..hehe.

Seriously, good find.

Have you calculated how long that will last your 'group'?
