re: A good grocery store is important -- Didn't realize it until we moved back home

I have three Brookeshires I drive past to get to the closest HEB. They're ridiculously expensive for such poor quality meat and produce.

HEB has a significantly higher quality of both, plus their pre-made items are fresh and really good. It's so much easier to pop a couple of those in the oven when it's been a long day with work, taking care of a ranch, and having a toddler, and it's not some heavily processed frozen junk.
