I usually shop HEB or Whole Foods for more natural organic products or foods from the USA.  I decided I wouldnt make the trip back to another grocer since I only needed a few things, but then I started noticing many organic products.  This caused me to end up with a basket full of groceries.  I really liked the Great Value Organic Fat Free Milk and when I checked out, I noticed I saved money on the organic products I was buying.  As I shopped around I was able to find apples grown in the USA and all natural , no preservative Deli turkey by Hormel.  I noticed alot of the produce was grown in the USA.

Being able to buy organic foods, grown in the US, at cost saving prices is definitely a combination that will have me shopping more at Wal-Mart.  I like Whole Foods but their prices are significantly higher.  If you’re not from San Antonio, HEB is a large South Texas grocery chain that is has become a direct competitor with the Wal-Mart superstores.
