Groceries
H-E-B is probably one of the best grocery stores there is an certainly in this area that has the best selection of foods and supplies overall. You can also buy wine and beer there but not liquor
H-E-B
6055 South FwyTrader Joe’s is a special grocery store with a focus on imported items and lots of good deals with some quirky selections. One of my favorite things there though is three Buck Chuck wine. from here it’s about two blocks north. Walk to Shepard turn north cross west Alabama and then walk past Whole Earth Provisions and you’ll find Trader Joe’s.
