Yay I KNEW you would win. Your recipes were AWESOME and you posts were so thought out. I am sooo excited for you and want to win this so badly. The first thing I’d put in my cart is two huge containers of blackberries for my boys because a) they are right when you walk in the door at my HEB and b) they LOVED them to pieces and c) they are super healthy! Thanks for the chance.
The first thing in my cart would be roast really beef. Next chicken breast and more good meat for Medina Children’s home.
I’m so excited for you Rachel! I knew I didn’t have a chance when I saw your posts coming through my inbox. You did a phenomal job and you totally deserve it.
The first thing I would put into my cart would probably be bananas. My two boys eat them like they are going out of style.
Thanks for the entry and for the chance to tag along with you.
Congrats Rachel!! I’m with the other girls, I pegged you as one of the winners right when I saw your meal ideas coming through my feed. You deserve this trip!
The first thing I’d put in my basket would be Wine (especially Moscato). HEB has a great selection of wine and I’d stock up for the rest of the year, especially to have as Holiday gifts and parties.

Chicken breast and ground turkey would be my first purchases! So exciting!
The first thing in my cart would be ANYTHING and probably EVERYTHING from the produce section! I’d probably spend the WHOLE THING on produce… Veggie Contessa that I am

Wow! What an awesome prize pack – congrats!
I know it’s not the first thing that’s available when you walk in the doors of HEB, and I know fruit would be so much better for me, but I would probably head straight to the baking aisle! I LOVE to bake. But, my husband would probably say I need to stock up on meat.
Thanks!
The first thing I would put in my cart if i could win a $500. shopping spree would coupons so that I could stretch that $500. even further, unless you couldn’t use coupons. Then my next first choice would be Fish, This is one of the items we don’t get to eat very much with feeding six girls, unless you count canned Tuna.
Congrats Rachel, that you have won this shopping trip, I know even with two toddlers you need to stretch that dollar to where you don’t always get to get the things you really would like.

The first thing I would put in my basket would be chicken breats! Lots and lots of chicken breast. The frozen ones, the non frozen ones…just chicken… then shirmp, then the beef!
Good thing I am on vacation that day. I won’t have to ask for the day off. hehehehe ;0)
I have no idea what I would put in my cart first! I would start at the back and work my way to the front like always. One thing that I would buy that I don’t usually buy would be packaged drinks. They are too expensive but oh so handy! I would probably allow for a little splurge. lol
And Congrats Rachel!
The first thing I would load would be some chicken breasts. These are so healthy and about the only meat that my whole family enjoys!
Congrats on winning!

The first thing I would put in my cart is fruit and veggies.. Then I would hit up the meats. Congrats on your win! I should have taken the time and entered earlier! This is an awesome prize!
I’d happily drive to Houston to shop with you. : )
The first thing in my cart would be Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. I don’t make fettuccine alfredo anymore without the “real stuff”, but it’s expensive so making up a batch is a real treat. Of course, then I’d need the shrimp, artichokes, and black olives to go with it! OK, so maybe not the shrimp — I bought some frozen last week on sale at HEB!
I’d head to the meat counter first – beef of all sorts plus chicken and pork. Then I’d stock up on laundry detergent.
I am so excited for you!!! Pick me! Pick me! I know you pick at random…but still…pick me!!!
I would put meat…any thing on sale…we got a deep freeze from Jenny and Tim and I would spend most of it on meat to put in the deep freeze for the rest of the year! You know how my hubby loves meat! And maybe a few other things for me!
I would pick The HEB Ice Cream.. It gives Blue Bell a run for its money.Thanks for the chance to enter….
My first thing I would pick up is the angus steaks. Thanks for the entry..
I would pick up the fresh tortillas made in the store. My kids LOVE watching how they are made, and love to eat them while walking thru the store!
I would pick up some steaks and potatoes for dinner with the family.
The first thing in my card? Right now would be some chocolate!! Followed by some HEB FISH! I love the fish section. Oh, and cheese! Yes, cheese. And bread. Can you tell I’m hungry??
If I were selected for a HEP shopping trip, I would start with meat. All the meat I could cram in there would be first.
The first thing I would get would be a nice juicy Prime Rib Roast. I have been wanting one for a couple of years now and just haven’t broken down and paid the price. Then I’d get some shrimp too and make it a “Surf and Turf” kinda dinner to celebrate. Then Baked Potatoes, Buttered Veggie Medley, and Ice Cream ought to just about round out the arteries.–lol WOW! I’m gonna HAFTA get me some Prime Rib oneothesedays!
I LOVE HEB!!! I think the first thing I would buy would be a lot of your delicious fruit and of course a pastry! The meat selection is superb! I would have a blast shopping!
I think some kind of meat.
The first thing in my basket would be fish from the seafood department yum yum…. I would follow it up with a visit to the produce department!!
I love shopping at HEB!! The first thing that I would put it my cart if I won the shopping spree would be lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. HEB has a fabulous produce section. Thank you, HEB!
The first thing that I would put it my cart if I won the HEB shopping spree would be fresh fish, as well as some shrimp. Our family loves seafood. I would also get some steaks and chicken to grill. We love the selection of seafood and meat when we shop at HEB.
