HEB has succumbed to corporate greed?

If you would have asked me 5 years ago what I thought about HEB I would have told you they are the best on Earth.

But over the last few years they have gone so far downhill on quality.

And let me define, “quality.”

Quality: Food that isn’t rotten or spoiled or generally not safe to consume.

I’ve had cucumbers that, even after peeling them, taste 100% like chemicals. Mootopia milk that doesn’t expire for a month but tasted exactly like vinegar. Produce that is completely rotten inside…
Furry berries, wet and wilted greens…even our Fresh pet food was rotten in the bag.

What is happening? Have they monopolized the market so heavily that now they just give us garbage?

I get all of my produce from Natural Grocer or a farmer’s market now, and shop at HEB for basics.

The Mootopia tasting like vinegar was the last straw for me. They always say, oh just bring it back for a refund. Who has time for all that?

There is no quality control and I strongly feel like they are taking advantage.

We need more options in Austin and surrounding areas! We need some large grocers to come back and make HEB start competing again.
