    Default Wegman’s!

    At DD’s field hockey tournament and saw a Wegman’s nearby! It’s not our usual grocery store but I’ve been in one before and loved it. Definitely going to stop in after the game - what do you love to buy there?

    prewashed and chopped escarole!

    I know that's totally a weird thing, but I LOVE escarole but dislike washing and chopping it, love those bags to make escarole soup or pasta sauce. I've never seen it anywhere else.

    I also like to wander around their cheese department, and their fish counter sometimes has some interesting things.

    First time I went, I had driven pretty far out of my way to get there so I had very high expectations based on some of the discussions on here and it fell a bit flat for me. I was a little underwhelmed with respect to the prices but everything was very fresh. They had a great selection of specialty cheeses and breads. Mostly, I bought gluten free items as they had plenty of those for a decent price. I think they also had the best prices on some cereals so I bought those. They've opened one closer but its still a bit of a hike and I only go if I'm in the area AND need GF stuff

    Similar to you -- shaved brussel sprouts. Get a thick slab of pancetta and you're good to go
    Their cheeses are also very good and much better priced than other stores. Same for wine section!
    And their muffins are also delicious!

    My favorite thing about Wegmans may be the app. I add everything I need to the app each week, and then I send my husband to the store.

    I am thinking now
    of grief, and of getting past it;
    I feel my boots
    trying to leave the ground,
    I feel my heart
    pumping hard. I want
    to think again of dangerous and noble things.
    I want to be light and frolicsome.
    I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
    as though I had wings.

    Our Wegmans had a LOOONG renovation starting in 2015 or '16 and the app made it so easy to shop - it updated locations for everything while the store was in flux, and made it so much more pleasant to go.

    What basil said about escarole! I make escarole soup often cuz it’s one of the few green vegetables my kids will eat gladly!

    We love their lettuce wraps. Bakery items, the meatball and pork package in Sunday sauce is very popular in our house for nights I don’t have my homemade batch.

    We love their brands on many stuff like
    fat free turkey deli,
    the fresh mixed peppers mini bag (kids eat it as their snack)
    Wegmans brand popcorn,
    their vegetable and cracked pepper crackers brand, their cheese counter,
    And we like their frozen seafood for quick nights,
    And their clams I buy on day of to make for dinner that evening
    their seltzer water
    Wegmans cranberry juice
    And their brand of pasta is a winner for us
    marinara sauce
    And many more. It’s my main grocery store as only live 10 mins from one of their locations.

    I do find Wegmans a mixed bag. They had one 30 min away, I didn’t go often. Then they put one in a mall 30 min away that’s nicer than the mall closer to me. So sometimes my DD likes to go there with her friend and I pick up dinner and a few things.
    Thinks I do like:
    Organic Teriyaki sauce
    Organic bread and butter pickles and the best I’ve ever had
    They do have a nice cheese selection, but now I have a cheese store next town over, so I don’t buy it there
    They have nice seafood in the one near me
    Organic chicken thighs vacuum packed
    Some of their baked goods, but it find them uneven
    They used to have a good trail mix bar. But people like me were mixing the expensive nuts and leaving the cheap stuff out, so no more
    Good loose tea selection by the ounce
    Produce is nice, but sometimes too big of packages for me

    Thanks everyone! I ended up with some of their house ravioli, pasta sauces, and sliders!

    The two cool (to me!) items I was excited to see were frozen chopped onions (major timesaver for Indian curry recipes!) and shredded Seriously Sharp cheddar cheese (again, big timesaver for one of my regular cheesy pasta recipes!)
