Delving into Reddit threads can unveil some truly ingenious insights. Recently, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of HEB hacks. Here are the top tips according to fellow users, to maximize your experience at HEB grocery stores.

#1

"If the Texans and Cowboys are playing at the same time you will have the store to yourself with parking with in 100 ft of the door."

#2

"I make my list on the HEB app before I go into the store. The list will show you what aisle everything is in. I find the feature useful if I’m at a different HEB!"

#3

"Buy the 10lb bag of chicken leg quarters. Use a knife to separate the thigh from the leg. Congrats you just saved 50%. Crock pot the leg quarters for easy deboned chicken."

#4

"Christmas Eve right before close, they'll heavily discount anything that's going to expire over the holiday when they're closed."

#5

HEB will season and steam your seafood for free.

HEB will typically steam lobster, crab, and shrimp, although some stores may only offer shrimp. Most offer three seasonings - Old Bay, lemon pepper, and creole.

#6

"Always check the Clearance aisle. If you don’t know where it is, it’s usually hidden in a corner or end cap somewhere. I tend to find them near the pet and/or paper products aisles. There’s always something worth the discount.

#7

"HEB brand chips with wacky flavors are great for parties - the flavors are odd enough to be conversation starters and each bag is pretty cheap."

#8

"On the HEB app, there is a coupon every Sunday for a completely free item. Just search in the coupon section for 'free', only available on Sundays though."

#9

"The spices section in the natural food/supplements area is amazing. I can get everything I need at a fraction of what I’d spend on bottles down the baking aisle."

#10

"HEB curbside is one of the best values in the store. Markup is generally 3% and the time savings are incredible.

If you had a $100 grocery cart and someone said, 'oh. I’ll spend 20-30 minutes plus wait in line to check out for $3' you’d be crazy not to take it.

Your time is the most valuable thing you’ve got."
