The H-E-B Store
You know you’re officially old when you’re on vacation and you’re most visited tourist spot is not really a tourist spot at all. Oh no, it's much better than that. It’s our local H-E-B!
So what's H-E-B, you Iowans ask? Well I wish I could say it’s the Health, Exercise, and Balance gym but think again. Heavens! You know you wouldn’t find me there! H-E-B is to Texans, what HyVee and Fareway is to Iowans. You see, H-E-B is a premier grocery store and oh my, what a sight it is! Imagine our Avoca Flower Shop, Avoca Foodland, Carley Drug, Casey’s,and Dollar General all in one. That’s H-E-B! And let me tell ya, you better know what you want when you go in there, or you’re going to come out with twice as much as you need! I know! How does that happen!?! lol!
Anyway, as you can imagine, our trips to H-E-B have become quite frequent and with each visit I find something new. If you ever go to H-E-B, let me give you some advice - you better have plenty of time! It can be quite confusing. For example: oranges. When you go to our small town Iowa store, you visit the produce section and you pick up oranges- the one variety they offer. Take it or leave it. (But let’s be fair, that’s winter in Iowa!) When you go to H-E-B, you’ve got a decision to make. Do you want naval oranges, Valencia oranges, blood oranges, pineapple oranges, or tangerines? Then, of course, once you know what variety you want, be prepared to find them! H-E-B’s produce section is humongous. You can’t believe all the different varieties of fruits and vegetables! Some of them, I've never heard of! Amazing!
So I could go on and on about this grocery metropolis and all the things you can buy there, but rather than bore you, Ill just share a couple of my favorite items. Let me tell ya, it will be a sad day when I have to go home without them!
