oops see the pic of heb's crazy high egg price already posted here. But yep, my favorite store to shop in pre-China Virus, but for pickup orders, prefer Walmart. 4951

@cupid517 : I'm guessing the prices some of us are seeing are only when the item is looked up for CurbSide... there seem to be far more choices in the store. 4951

go to HEB.com, search eggs, and first thing is this: www.heb.com/product- detail/best-availabl e-eggs/3936004 $6.34 for a dozen.
 
@Reivax : And they aren't like from those fancy schmancy organic, free range, only eat white shoepeg corn and drink Dasani birds who live in luxurious quarters with Animal Planet playing on the big screen and have been bred from an elite line of royal poultry. 4951

chasinghosts : Gulf shrimp isn't always the cleanest or best. I think a lot of the frozen shrimp is outsourced. I've had both and I just like shrimp so don't care. I'd rather buy anything American but it has to be good.
 
@ladybeachbum : They have zero health regulations on their seafood. I have a friend from Thailand and he won't touch seafoord from that area. Sorry I'm so picky but I've gotten really sick from bad shrimp. Trust is a factor in everything I eat.

chasinghosts : Actually only a couple of the shrimps are from Indonesia. They do have wild Texas shrimp, frozen wild gulf shrimp, shrimp from the Keys and shrimp from Argentina. Also their fresh gulf shrimp is caught from their own HEB boats. The most popular are their easy peel shrimp which is from Indonesia. I think it's cause it is the cheapest and it's easy peel.
 
@ShaquileOatmeal : Yes and those are the ones I wanted the other day but, after what my friends have told me I want from the gulf only, but don't be charging $12.99 a lb. . Where are they getting the scallops from and is it possible to get smaller ones? 4951

I'm more worried about their overpriced Asian Seafood. Why in the hell would anyone want Shrimp from Asia when they fish it here? Why can't HEB get seafood from US ports cannot possibly be more expensive than shipping from Malaysia or Honk Kong.
 
@chasinghosts : Whoever downvoted me on this know that we have alot of people in our country that do this for a living that need the money. If that's a problem for you, oh well. There is no need to go to another country for things we produce here. 4951

@chasinghosts : I'm not sure where the scallops are from exactly. I know they have the origin of the product At the bottom of the price tag. They do have Bay scallops that are about the size of nickels in the frozen section for like $7? And you get a pound. If you want the best shrimp get the Pink shrimp when they have it available. It's decently priced, I think between $7.97-$10.97 depending on what size you want and if there is a sale going on. Even though it's previously frozen it tastes waayyy better than the fresh gulf shrimp. I do believe it's because the fresh gulf is seasoned with lots of oil/petroleum and the Pinks are from the Florida keys which is much much cleaner water. 4951

@ShaquileOatmeal : If you want the best FRESH shrimp go to the wholesalers in Kemah and buy it there. The last time I went it was $6.75 per pond for heads off easy peel jumbo shrimp. 4951
