Effective March 22 our grocery store chain, HEB has put a limitation not only on TP and Paper Towels but other items as well.....so EVERYONE can get food and cleaning supplies---THANK YOU!!!  Other grocery chains around the country should do the same.....(now it wont stop hoarding entirely---hoarders will make several trips I'm sure, but the limitations and inconvenience should greatly help the rest of us that are doing responsible shopping).....

I had to look up HEB because I never heard of it. Most stores here have limits on many items. Inland SoCal.

Of course, many items on that HEB list are not in stock here. 😂🙄😷

That still seems like a lot of items per purchase. Four cans of disinfectant spray plus four packs of disinfectant wipes? Four rolls of paper towels? I wish I could get my hands on just one of any of those items.

I love HEB!

That's awesome. I feel for the checkers that have to enforce it though. I hope people are respectful about it.

Sadly there’s always a work around. At HEB on Sunday, husband and wife, 2 carts getting the max allowed and then paying at different check outs.

Love HEB but we don’t have any here...but I shop at them whenever I am in other parts of Texas.

I miss HEB. I took advantage of their cooking classes a lot when we lived in Texas. Actually, I miss Texas!
