If ever there was a grocery store you could say is synonymous with game day, it’s gotta be H-E-B. If you shop at H-E-B, you probably have your game day shopping list down to a science by now, but with the cost of everything going up, you might be seeking deals. That’s where I come in, a careful observer on the sideline, ready to supplement your list with some sale items I would certainly toss in my cart if I lived in Texas. Throwing a Super Bowl party? Don’t really care if the Seahawks or the Pats win? Well, saddle up pardner, because we’re stocking up on the best game day snacks at H-E-B.
H‑E‑B Loaded Baked Potato Potato Chips ($2.28)
Sure, you could make baked potatoes for game day, but wouldn’t you rather skip the fixin’s bar, dump a bag of these loaded baked potato ridged potato chips into a bowl, and call it a day? H-E-B is known for its out-there novelty chips (I mean, Vanilla Milkshake, guys??), but these are the perfect balance of fun and unique—and they’re on sale.
Tyson Any’tizers Frozen BBQ Bone-In Chicken Wings ($7.62)
A dad and his grill share a special bond on game day that I hate to come between, but give the guy a bit of a rest this week in honor of the big game and get these ready-for-the-oven frozen wings. Just this once!

Midtown Cherry Tomato & Spinach Pizza ($6.48)
Some people have called H-E-B’s Midtown pizza “the best frozen pizza of all time”—you can tell us in the comments if that’s true or not, but either way, this is a good deal on a fresh, fancy sounding pie. And you don’t have to wait an eternity for delivery on one of the busiest pizza delivery days of the year!
Meal Simple by H‑E‑B Small Tex-Mex Brisket Queso Dip ($7.82)
There’s game day dip and then there’s an H-E-B game day dip. This brisket-packed bowl of melty cheese is one hefty queso. It’s not for the faint of heart, but neither is discovering that your homemade cheese dip was a dud. Just be sure to buy the thick chips.

Dreyer’s Oreo Ice Cream Cones ($6.86)
Game day foods are full of salt, there’s no way you can avoid the dang stuff. What can balance things out? Ice cream, duh. Really, there’s no bad time for ice cream so why were you doubting me in the first place??
