 guys welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Today I took a trip to HEB which is a grocery store that is here in Texas. They do not have one in my area so once a year I travel for a little over an hour and pick up some of my favorites. HEB has its own store brand its own food and the stuff is really good. Think of it as a Trader Joe's but a lot bigger. So let me get started. By the way this grocery haul I'm going to show you all the cold stuff and then I'll come back and show you the non-perishable stuff. So I got a couple of pizzas. Now these are new to me midtown pizza. I think they're out of Austin don't quote me on that. But I got their margarita pizza and then I also got their smoked brisket and sausage pizza. Howard and I both like brisket. The reason I wanted to give this a try is because the sauce is not a barbecue sauce. I don't think and I don't really like barbecue sauce on the pizza. I think this is just a regular tomato base and you get pickled red onion mozzarella cheddar brisket chopped beef pork and sauce I'm sorry smoked pork and beef sausage so you get that and then their macaroni and cheese also looked good. I haven't tried that before so I wanted to give it a try. I got some of their Asian frozen meals and we have had these before and we like them a lot. One thing about HEB is that their food is pretty in the other groceries I should say are pretty inexpensive at least as inexpensive as Walmart or less than Walmart. So these Asian meals I think were five dollars and something and it's 24 ounces so that's a pretty good size. I got sesame chicken. I got general sauce chicken and orange chicken. These are all skillet meals and then I also wanted to give their sugar cookies a try. This is their brand of sugar cookies wanted to give that a try and then I got their breakfast floutes. I have had these before and they are really good. It's a crispy shell and the ones that I got are brisket egg and cheese and then also bacon egg and cheese. They have bean I think they also have may have a potato they have sausage as well so these are really good. They're a pretty good size. You do microwave them and they have a little sleeve that crisps in the microwave and it works really well because normally I don't like microwave stuff but these are really good so I got that. I wanted to give their egg rolls a try and their spring rolls a try so I'm excited to try these out. I got a couple of different lunch meats. I got some pepperoni and these are actually sandwich sandwich size slices and this is what they look like so they're pretty good slices and then I wanted to try this jalapeño turkey breast and it looks really good to me. I've never seen jalapeño turkey breast so trying to you can kind of see the little flecks of the jalapeño in there so I got that and then I also got their mesquite smoked ham and I don't think I've tried any of their lunch meat before so excited to give that a try. I got a couple of salad kits so I have not seen this particular flavor locally in any brand of salad so this is sweet Thai and I usually get Asian salad kits and this one sounded good. You get cabbage, green leaf lettuce, kale, carrots, green onion, peanut vinaigrette, honey almond, sweet sesame cashews and chow mein noodle so that looks good and then I also got this sweet garden crunch and it's just the lettuce so there's no salad dressing in there but you get cabbage, lettuce, kale, red cabbage, carrots and green onions, those are all things that I really like in my salad. I picked up a couple of their queso so I got the blanco let me try to flip around here it is so I got their blanco and you can see what it has in there tomatoes green chili and jalapeños and then I got their classic queso which has same thing except it has roasted jalapeño peppers and then I wanted to give their green onion dip a try and their french onion dip a try also got some beef brisket hot dogs that sounded really good to me Howard and I both love brisket and then I also got some um then sliced New York extra shark cheddar for some burgers I grabbed just a package of their pre-cooked bacon and then I also grabbed some turkey thighs I have not been able to find turkey thighs locally I'm not a huge turkey fan but I do like thighs and I found the very last pack that they had in stock all right so I'm gonna put this stuff away and then show you all of the rest of the groceries okay so I grabbed some unsalted tortilla chips the only place that I have ever found these is at HEB so I always grab a bag when I go and then I grabbed a bag of their Texas Dippers these are like Fritos and then um just the regular quote unquote Fritos that are lightly salted and when you buy two bags of chips then you get a free six pack of their brand of soda so Howard chose the like their knockoff Dr Pepper but they had you know like lemon lime etc so he got that and then um I just wanted to try their ranch chips and these are just the kind of like single serving size that they have by the um the checkout I just wanted to see if I like them or not so I grabbed that grabbed some hamburger buns because we are going to have hamburger soon and Harrison as you can see he's kind of punched a hamburger bun so we've got that and then I wanted to try these croutons um because they just sounded good cheese and garlic and I like croutons but they're so big so what I do is I crush them and sprinkle them on my salads and then I really like ramen and I can't find beef um around here this brand so I grabbed two packages of that and then I also wanted to try their chow mein as well grabbed a box of their chai latte drink mix I love chai I don't like um coffee but I do love chai and then let me go back right here I grabbed two boxes of these marinating bags um they're large as you can see they're leak proof and you can stand them up so when I'm marinating chicken or any other meat or vegetable it's easy to just put them in this bag and throw them in the refrigerator I got several types of their sauces because I couldn't decide which one I wanted so I got a spicy barbecue I got a um Korean barbecue and then I got their teriyaki and um let's see that's it for that and then I also grabbed a um jar of this saucy cajun Howard really likes this so I grabbed this for him and then I grabbed two bottles of this Hawaiian barbecue sauce we really like it a lot and you really can't find it anywhere except online so it's probably our favorite barbecue sauce so I grabbed two bags let me go back here so I have been looking for this suave grapefruit scrub forever they had it there so I was excited I love grapefruit and this smells so good and then I got three bottles of their seasonal dishwashing soap we do still wash our dishes by hand so I got white sage snow angel and mistletoe and they all smell really good I got a bag of um goldfish for Harrison he likes them and I just grabbed them since he's almost out since I was there and I really love this crusty's um butter vanilla sugar cookie mix and you can't find it in my area of Texas so I grabbed it and it's really cheap there like a dollar sixty eight I grabbed some of um these granola bars salted caramel I don't think I've tried it before but I love caramel and then I just grabbed a box of their mac and cheese I do like their mac and cheese I grabbed another box of um granola bars this is a flavor I'd not seen before shaved coconut and almond and I really like kind bars so I figured I would like these two it's a little bit different than a kind bar of course but it just sounded good I got three boxes of these soft baked oatmeal squares Harrison loves these things and they are really hard to find in my area I mean it doesn't matter which grocery store I go to they never have them so I saw them there and I grabbed three boxes I grabbed a couple of boxes of their macaroni and cheese I got white cheddar and then I also got the spiral grabbed some parchment paper and these are the pre-cut sheets and then I saw these had to try them I love Reese's and I also love peanut brittle and these are peanut brittle flavored Reese's so that sounded good and then I got a couple of different trail mixes I got hit the tropics for Howard roasted almonds coconut toffee cashews papaya pineapple and banana chips and then I got me the honey roasted peanuts um yogurt flavored peanuts dark chocolate raisins butter toffee peanuts and praline pecans the nutty bliss all right so let me put this stuff up and I'll get the rest of the groceries okay so here's the last of it I grabbed some of these quilted napkins or Christmas to put on our table and then also grabbed some of this snack mix it sounded really good to me I love these kind of mixes and this is skillet queso you get skillet queso toasted corn corn squares cheddar sesame sticks and corn sticks and then I also wanted to try these red beans out Cajun style so it comes with the red beans and the seasoning package in there these are two new flavors that I wanted to try I'm not a big instant potato person but these flavors sounded really good and I do like this brand so I got Vermont white cheddar and then Wisconsin cheddar I got um Howard some avocados these are actually pretty decent in size and they say that they're small they were only 48 cents each so that was pretty cheap to me and I also got a tomato for Howard as well we're gonna be having burgers I grabbed some onion salt this is hard to find around here for some reason so I grabbed a big thing of onion salt I grabbed a couple of um these cooking sauces so I got a beef stew and then I also got Mongolian style sauces well I got Howard some of these colossal peanuts he loves to shell his own peanuts you probably can't tell in the camera but they are really big a lot bigger than the regular size peanuts I saw these two Parmesan cheeses and I wanted to give them a try this is three cheese and you get Parmesan Romano in Asiago and then this one is Parmesan with spice so it has red pepper and other stuff in there and it sounded good I got a bag of these hot sauce cheese puffs these are new or maybe they're seasonal but I don't think they're around all the time but I wanted to try them and then I got Harrison who is a very picky eater I thought maybe he would eat apple sauce in a you know like in one of these pouches because he won't eat it any other way so just wanted to try him out on that and then I also wanted to try out this barraccio bean seasoning I love barraccio bean so I got some of that um looked I was looking for um ham boygon because I can't find it around here so they had it there grabbed it and then wanted to try their ultra crisp I'm sorry ultra thin and crispy pizza crust you get three of them in there and I know you can't tell but they are pretty thin so excited to give these a try I needed a little mini whisk and I think this was only two bucks so I grabbed it and then I saw this dish drying mat this is what it looks like we do still hand wash our dishes dishes of course and I it seems like I always need extra space um or extra room to dry dishes around the holidays so I just grabbed this to pull it out when I needed it and then I got a bunch of canned items so I got a um thing of white cheddar cheese condensed soup I got some refried beans with jalapenos and their charo beans which Howard and I really like a lot I got a couple of cans of cut green beans I got this soup because it looked really good um chicken queso blanco so it says a creamy white cheddar cheese and chicken soup with corn and roasted poblano peppers so this looked good to me and I don't know how to make it trying to see oh it says you can use water or milk so I'm excited to give this a try and then I grabbed some more refried beans and these are baracha or charo sorry charo beans and then I grabbed two cans of cream of
