HEB!

Ive got one of my 7 gallon aquatainers about 65% full from the camp last week and am now about 50% done filling the other one. Its definitely worth my time to boil and fill rather than paying for overpriced bottle water

 

HEB is the best grocery store. Its hard not to support them seeing as they are always involved in supporting the central texas area

 

Definitely the best!

 

I love HEB. After Harvey the support they offered was amazing and they were in the news so much that some of my friends from the PNW thought they had to be a Texas supported agency. Imagine their faces when we explained how a grocery store was doing more than local/federal government.

 

Thats awesome! Its also pretty hilarious that the family name for the creators and namesake of HEB is Butt. I was gonna make a childish joke but instead, I did some light digging and it turns out, the Butt family has been helping out fellow Texans since 1934!

From Wiki:

In 1934, after a destructive Texas hurricane, he founded the Howard E. Butt Community Investment Program whereby H-E-B would contribute 5% of its pretax earnings to various nonprofit organizations throughout Texas. Also in 1934, he established the H.E. Butt Foundation,[1] one of the first charitable organizations in Texas. The foundation focused on funding public school programs, establishing libraries and constructing recreational facilities.[4]

HEB, will always be in your debt. Will not be shopping anywhere else.

 

Worked for HEB and Randalls both back in my youngish days.

HEB was by a loooooooooong shot much better company to work for.

 

I remember this and it reminded me of Katrina, local grocery didn't do jack for us in New Orleans.

 

That’s funny!!

Morning Chad.

 

Top of the morning Mr Ripper!

 

Good morning y'all.

 

Good morning Big C! Were you able to commandeer a bombardier?

 

Brushing my teeth with beer is weird.

 

You acclimate to (and enjoy) it really quickly. Better beer than milk.

 

I guess UT students drink from urinals?
