I try to plan to have enough food on board for at least 3 nightly meals and 3 breakfast meals. Once we get settled into a sight, we grocery shop for the other essentials - veggies/fruit/and whatever else. We have noticed a chain store called H.E.B. and was leary of going there. In this town - that's all there is. So, last night we shopped there for some little items - and boy were we surprised! It's a privately held company started out of San Antonio by a Florence Butt. Her son, Howard Edward Butt (H.E.B.) took over and now they have 315 stores in Texas and Mexico. The choices you have was equivalent to what we see in Cleveland in a huge grocery store - impressive. At least we know what that's all about and will go there from now on.
The other thing you don't see and do see - no Golden Arches! Whataburger hamburger chain's home is Corpus Christie and this certainly has to do with not seeing Ronald McDonald around. We don't do Mickey D's - so we haven't gone and tasted their burgers to compare. I assume they are good - they are located EVERYWHERE and there always is a crowd there! And it's open 24 hours - how do you like that Ronald? Missing out on a market niche by not being open 24 hours!
