I miss my HEB the most. I miss the selection and the prices. If you've never been to Texas, here is what an HEB store is like: Imagine a Fred Meyer store with about half of the non-food items, much more of the ethnic food selection, and the prices cut in HALF. I most surely miss those fresh whole wheat tortillas that are made fresh right in the store. No comparison with the pre-packaged ones that sit on the shelf for a week!
