Summary

The H-E-B app allows users to create a shopping list, place an order and pick up items at H-E-B. The app and service are great for caregivers, busy moms, individuals who are have limited mobility or disabled, older adults, and/or people who have compromised immune systems or get nervous around a lot of people while shopping. With grocery pick-up, you’ll pay 3 percent more for each item than you would in the store. You’ll also often pay a $4.95 service fee if you need same-day pickup - but if you schedule next-day or later, it is free. Delivery is available in some areas for an additional fee.

Short How To

First-time users will want to follow three easy steps to get started:

First, create an account.
Second, choose the store where you will do your shopping.
Finally choose what type of shopping you will be doing: in-store, pick-up, or delivery.

Working from left to right –

Tapping on the shop button divides grocery store items into easy-to-understand categories where you can select items to put in your virtual shopping cart. Items that have coupons are flagged and you are given the option to “clip” the coupon to use at checkout.
You can also jump right to the coupons button, to see available savings and clip coupons for items that you see. You’ll also find combo loco deals that you would find while shopping in the store when you can buy one item and get another item for free. Select the items that you want to buy and clip the coupon at the same time.
See orders that you have placed in the past by clicking on the “orders” tab. View details or easily add all the items to your cart with the click of a button. If you have orders in progress, you can see that from this screen as well and also make edits to your order.
The pharmacy tab allows you to easily connect your prescription drug account to your H-E-B account to request refills and see important information like how many refills remaining, dosage instructions, and doctor information.

Reviewer Experience

Our BridgingApps reviewer, who is the caregiver of her aging father and four busy kids often uses the app and grocery service to avoid the difficulties of taking her children into the store to shop. She also uses it for her father, so that he can select the grocery items that he uses on a regular basis and she can pick them up while she is out. Typically a trip to H-E-B could take up to an hour and normally cost a lot more because everyone wants something while they shop. H-E-B pickup service eliminates having to take her children out of the car and into the store. The task of picking up the items often takes between 5-10 minutes. An H-E-B associate will load your groceries into your car when you arrive.

Benefits

For those who prefer to shop in-store, the app allows you to plan ahead and create your shopping list. Like many other grocery apps, you can clip “virtual coupons” while shopping in the store or plan ahead by clipping the coupons to have them ready in your account for you when you get to the store. If you are choosing to pick up curbside, users can easily reorder the same items each week or add items to your weekly staples that are in your cart history, which will serve as your shopping list each week. Curbside pickup and delivery can also help users save money. Skip the impulse buys when you walk down the aisles and only put items in your virtual cart that you need. One of our favorite features is how you can search for items using the magnifying glass in the top-right-hand corner of the home screen. This is a great feature that will quickly allow you to see if items are in stock. We love to use this feature when we are shopping to help us find items we need. You can also find specific items by scanning them with the barcode reader in this same area. The app is also a convenient way to see when your prescriptions are ready. Parents can set up multiple profiles for children. At this time the app doesn’t allow you to set up multiple adults on one account, but app developers are hoping to have that as a feature in the near future.

BridgingApps highly recommends downloading the app, logging in, and using your location or entering your zipcode to check availability. The app is easy to use and grocery pick-up is convenient.
