Kroger and big box stores like Walmart and Target are pretty comparable in terms of quality of produce and meats…I shop at Kroger twice a year…when they deeply discount rib roasts.

In no world, if you live in Texas and have an HEB within a reasonable, convenient driving distance pick another grocery store. HEB’s produce, meat and seafood, bakery, deli, literally anything that doesn’t come prepackaged in a box are vastly superior there.

Hell I’d pick Joe V’s or Mi Tienda before I did my weekly grocery shopping at a Kroger.

And then of course, Central Market is the gold standard for walking into a grocery store, dropping 100 bones on three items and being completely ok with it.

I mean I get where you’re coming from in the sense that most aquaculture is terrible…but let’s not act like shrimp in the wild behave wildly differently in terms of diet.

They are bottom feeding scavengers.

Try B&W Meat Market.

Shipleys bacon, egg and cheese kolaches are elite.

Everything else there is mid.

I’m of Mexican heritage and was running the skreets of New Orleans all last week…didn’t see ICE or BORTAC at the Roosevelt, R&O’s, or Delacroix (great fried fish collars btw), or the movie theater in Elmwood.

Maybe they’ll get me come Christmas time at the family dinner at Herbsaint.

Chow fun

They are Lancers from the 9th Bomb Squadron out of Dyess AFB.

Their call sign is “BAT”.

One of the fricking homeless cats who live under the Yale St. bridge probably was all fricked up on gear and fell into the bayou.

Tier of gasoline is more important. Generally Tier 2 is okay and Tier 1 is best, but all it is are additives to the gasoline that help keep the engine clean and perhaps give a little boost.

Let me let you in on a little secret…gasoline blenders aren’t in the business to create “tiers” of gasoline so they can feel better about themselves watching you choose a branded gas station versus the Quick Stop.

They are in the business of making as much money as possible, and what that ultimately means for you is the “top tier” gasoline you’re paying 3-6 cents extra a gallons for came out of the same storage tank that the Quick Stop is selling for less.

It all has to meet a standard…87 octane for RUL…how they get to that 87 octane is entirely up to them, but your gasoline was probably stepped on 2-3-4-5 different times by a commodities trader you’ve never heard of chasing the market.

The detergent additive (Techron just for ease of conversion) is where your tiering system comes in, but take that with a grain of salt…this is federally mandated…whether it’s Techron or a generic additive…you decide if you want to pay the 3-6 cents extra for a name brand.

I don’t, and I’ve been in the gasoline blending/terminaling business for over 15 years.

Buy from a station that is cheap that gets a lot of business.
