H-E-B removes food, toilet paper purchasing limits

Since the beginning of the pandemic, H-E-B has placed purchase limits on items like toilet paper, paper towels, milk, eggs, rice, beans, powdered milk, pasta sauce, and frozen food.

The grocery chain said the limits helped ensure customers had access to the products they need while supply chains were interrupted.

As the state opens back up, H-E-B has decided to reduce the items with purchase limits. All food items and toilet paper are now available for purchase without limits.

The current list of rationed items includes only non-food items.

Acetaminophen – 2 items total (includes baby, trial and travel sizes, OTC)

Baby wipes – 2 items

Disinfecting & antibacterial sprays – 2 items

Disinfecting & antibacterial wipes – 2 items

Hand soap – 4 items

Aloe Vera – 2 items (Digestive Health, Skincare/Suncare, Healthy Living)

Hydrogen peroxide – 2 items

Rubbing (Isopropyl) Alcohol/swabs – 2 items

Masks – 2 items

Paper towels
