"Here Everythings Better"
This is the motto for our grocery store HEB. (This is what they sing on the commercial). HEB acutally stands for the founder Howard E. Butt. No wonder he abbreviated the name! What an awful name for a man. I normally wouldn't rant and rave about a grocery store, but this seems to be one of the better chains we have shopped at over the years. We have lived in 3 different locations so have seen different chains. The one thing I hate about AZ is that you have to have some silly card (much like a gym card) in order to get their discounts. I have always been bugged by that, but that is just the way it works. HEB also happens to be the only grocery chain here in San Antonio. I found this pretty odd moving here. What? No competition? So basically, we have HEB, Wal-mart, and Super Target. I really never shop Target for groceries since they seem to be so expensive. But, HEB happens to be clean, the produce is good, and very reasonable. I am getting to the point as to why I love this store so much. It is VERY kid friendly. In fact, my kids love going here just because of the perks. So, I thought I would list the many things I love about our San Antonio HEB store.
1. They have sanitary wipes to wipe off the carts--major bonus!
2. Free cookies at the bakery (not just puny ones like wal-mart)
3. They make their own flour tortillas in the store and always let you sample--yummy!
4. I also like that they carry a lot of school supply stuff and cute holiday stuff.
5. They always have balloons for the kids (not a big balloon fan, but it keeps them happy)
Happy kids=happy mom.
6. They give what they call buddy bucks . The kids can collect these stickers which are free and claim prizes with them.

We have gotten so many things from the buddy buck stickers. You get a free pamplet and stick the stickers on the page until it fills up. Each sticker is worth points. Its much like peter piper where you get tickets and can claim a prize. Most recently Taylor got a pair of flip flops. (kinda cheesy) but she loved them. We have also gotten bags, a beach towel and are going to be sending in for a plate, cup, spoon, and fork set. You can also claim prizes for food items.
Anyways, thats just my plug for our grocery store. Sorry about all the rambling, but I figured if I didn't write it down I would forget someday when we move. Since I know we won't live in San Antonio forever. Do you like your grocery stores?
This are some current sticker pages getting ready to be mailed.
