I am surprised that she feels you can save money by driving 70 miles. Or if she does you do need to consider the cost of getting to the store, or if buying on-line the cost o shipping. Sometimes on lines prices are higher to cover the shipping costs.... She stands in front of the camera, shaking her head back and forth with this snooty puss face and says "don't whine to me if you live in a high priced state - that's YOUR choice, MOVE; don't cry to me that you can't get good grocery prices in your area. I looked on the internet and you can, YOU just DON'T WANT TO or you just don't want to drive 70 miles to get the lower prices like we did when we lived in Colorado; my mother a single mom raised two of us on $500 a month but what they don't say is that this was back in the late 70s; or you don't want to do what you have to do get lower prices so don't complain to me; yada, yada, yada." This type of behavior truly bothers me to no end. I have no clue as to how she still manages to sell her products with this kind of rudeness...
Yes, H-E-B has great prices, equal to Walmart or better. I don't buy food at Walmart as since H-E-B is local I want to support them.
Shopping for one is much more expensive than shopping for a family on a per person basis.
Several years ago I was on line at the commissary on the Army post where my husband was stationed. We lived on post so the commissary was the closest grocery. Two women behind me were bragging on the great meat they had bought. They had driven almost 70 miles each way. They would have been better going to the best butcher in the nearest town to where they lived. At the time there were stand alone butcher shops.
