We shopped at Joe V's Smart Shop today, for the second time. This was
our second time to shop there, and we will go back. If there is a H.E.B.
near you, there may be a Joe's

Glad that H.E.B won, but I would shop there no matter what the store was
named. It is hard to beat the quality of H.E.B's food, along with the
prices of Joe V's. You have to bag your own groceries, but that is fine
with me. We bought pork sausage which was 50 cents a pound, I will let
you know how that turns out when we cook it.

If Joe V's Smart Shop is successful, maybe they will expand to other
states. The store has a strange name, but then so does their parent
company, H.E.B, they have 315 stores in Texas and Mexico, and people
here love their stores.

We were there twice, and some specials were not in their ad, like 50
cents per lb pork sausage, fresh baked bolillo rolls were 8 for $1, leg
quarters were 39 cents per pound, plantains 39 cents, Jiffy corn bread
mix were 3 for $1. Come for a visit Steve and we can visit supermarkets
and stuff.

We have an HEB one mile from our house, and Joe V's is larger than our
store. The first time we went there, the store was packed with people,
so packed you could barely move, but this time, we left at 7:30am to
avoid the crowd. It worked.
