I don't envy a single other thing about you, Steve, but HEB is a really kickass
grocery store. Another great company that is in only one small region is Braum's
Dairy. https://www.braums.com/
Not that StL doesn't have some local treasures. IIRC, you're in San Antonio. ALDI
has a store in Austin, so you'll probably get one soon. Some folks here have had
negative things to say about ALDI's produce, and yeah, sometimes it's iffy,
especially grapes, but the prices are good, and their Specially Selected products
are great. Their Specially Selected vanilla ice cream is the closest thing to
Haagen Dasz I've ever had.
