That is, I can find some of the vegetarian brands I like (Tofurky, Quorn, gardein) in greater variety of choices and for much less per unit cost than I can at my closest grocery, Kroger. I shop at Kroger far more often because they're a 24-hour store, have U-SCAN (which I prefer, especially as I use all of my own bags and can bag them faster than someone unfamiliar with them), and they're less than two miles away. Whole Foods is further, but they have a better selection of the kinds of foods I want, not to mention a higher quality of the same.
Now, if HEB would build one of their big stores close by (their smaller stores are a joke for us vegetarians, as in lower quality on produce and less selection/variety) then I'd switch to them again. Same for their Central Market being closer. It's like Whole Foods in variety and quality, but lower prices. It's just that much further away.
