I mentioned in another recent post that our local Texas wide grocery chain, HEB, is one of the nation's best purveyors of all things food related. They go out of their way to source a variety of food, wine and other products not usually found in a local supermarket. For instance, they not only sell their own seafood and shrimp, but actually partner with and own their own fleet of fishing vessels to provide Gulf seafood product exclusively for their stores.
At any rate, I think I also mentioned my son is doing a recent internship with the grocery chain. As such he and his family (ME!!!) get an everyday 10% discount on all HEB branded items, as well as their sourced meat and seafood. And to up the game, they gave us an additional 15% off over the holidays as their holiday gift (whole lot better than a free ham).
So over Thanksgiving week I stocked up on several hundred dollars worth of product. This week is the start of Christmas week and the 25% discount continues. Although my freezers are stocked to the gills, I'm still hitting the meat and fish counters to take advantage of the sale. I had their meat cutter slice off these babies, 2" thick Prime 1 porterhouses....
Other items picked up include two racks of lamb, lamb chops, tomahawk Ducoc pork chops, a pork roast, New York prime strips, a couple of Picanhas, Wagyu flank, Wagyu outside skirt, a whole tenderloin, St. Louis cut pork ribs, Norwegian salmon, head on shrimps, head off shrimps, snapper filets, whole flounder and some tuna filets. Not going to admit what the final price tag was and is going to be but when I see 25% off, it will take an intervention to stop me
Yea, it's good to be in Texas, if for no other reason to be able to shop at HEB !!!
