Hi all,

We live in the Rio Grande Valley (southern tip of TX) and I shop at several HEB's--one of them a PLUS. I shop at the one in Alamo, and both of the ones in San Juan. I've never counted how many we have in this area but there are scads.

One of my favorite features of one of the San Juan HEB's is that sometimes they will put out lots and lots of clearance items. Earlier in the summer I bought about 12 natural or organic jars of peanut butter for around .69 each. They put on clearance all of their expensive, organic soups that were going to expire in a month or two. I probably spent $50 or more but got some fantastic deals and I was even able to use coupons on some of them.

My least favorite thing about HEB is that they are often careless in not changing the computer when they put a sale or clearance price on the shelf. I can't count the times I have to ask for a price check (if I have to go check it, I pull off the tag on the shelf and bring it back).

Does anyone know if HEB has any kind of a policy of getting an item free if the prices don't match between shelf and computer? (Some stores do). I wish they did because I think they would be more careful about entering price changes into the computer.
