Your household’s grocery habits

They are building an HEB two blocks from my home. My grocery habits will be less time consuming soon. But the traffic getting out of the neighborhood is going to be a whole new thing. This is on the residential road out to the interstate.

Will be open soon. I'm as excited as a middle aged suburbanite can be. I go to the currently closest HEB a couple times a week and it's a 20 minute drive. This is a 1 minute drive or 5 minute walk.

HEB rocks. As good as Wegman's, maybe better.

I need to go into one at some point.

Opened this morning. Beautiful. Can't see from one end of the floor to the other, due to curvature of the earth.

Best place on earth to buy steaks.

Could be. My favorite place for sure. Got this today. Will be difficult to fit it into my calorie budget.

But I burned 140 calories walking there to buy it.

They had a mariachi band, as one does.

That's either a very big shopping cart or a very small mariachi band.

[Mik]

There aren't a lot of 8 cylinder shopping carts.

I usually shop groceries 2-3x per week. Enough for the day and an additional 1-2 days. That way, everything is reasonably fresh while being not as time-consuming as shopping every day.

[Horace]

Look at HEB, bringing people together. I feel sorry for young people who probably don't understand how much joy a new supermarket in the neighborhood can bring. This is like Oprah interviewing Kamala, only more joyful.

What’s the rat drama?

Btw it’s nice to see the positive experience. I’ve been long convinced that 9/10 people are good and will help a random neighbor if needed. We’re all very similar, to an extent.

You must have missed the thread. Horace has been training rodents in his spare time to put on small Shakespearean productions. Apparently his little Coriolanus is very impressive.

Always figured the first play would’ve been an adaptation of Of Mice And Men.

Apparently there's a rat infestation in the neighborhood. I haven't seen any though. Except for my side hustle breeding plague rats in the back yard. Free range plague rats. 75% of the neighborhood has succumbed to the bubonic plague, and now it's all he said she said blame games. I prefer to move forward rather than focus on the past.

Thank you for the update.
