Scallops when they're on sale. 90/10 chopped meat when it's on sale (I stock up and freeze it). Hu brand chocolate almonds with sea salt. 365 Brand dried mango snack packs. Purely Elizabeth granola.

Nothing honestly. I prefer Wegmans.

They have a spectacular ice cream section. So many niche brands and every random flavor you can think of.

Yogurt section is also second to none. Today I saw a Cinnamon Roll flavored Noosa, I've never seen anywhere else. So good.

Great fish as well.

The frozen bakery section pastries are great if you have guests over for a weekend. Popping frozen croissants in the oven makes the house smell lovely and makes you look like a rockstar host.

Yawn.

Prepared family meals for around $28 (4 servings of chicken or fish, green beans, mashed potatoes).

Yes, I second the yogurt section is great, on par with your average European supermarket. (That's not a slam to WF; it's just a fact that US supermarkets don't have the lovely yogurt wall you see in the supermarche). WF is the only place I have been able to reliably source my kids' petit suisse.

The bags of frozen, wild-caught fish are good quality (though the price keeps rising). Also buy all my imported flours like einkorn, 00, etc at WF.

I second the anti-bezos sentiment and would drive a bit more to get the same items at better prices no matter how convenient it is.

If you and your neighbors do it enough, maybe they will pull out and something better will move in.

Their in-house made guacamole.

The zucchini and rapini frozen pizza is perfection and really affordable. That’s the only thing I really buy at Whole Foods. (I’m otherwise in the camp of MOMs is better - highest quality produce, great filter of fake, ultra processed foods, better owner.)

- Quicos corn nuggets (these are addictive!)
- Laoban frozen dumplings
- 365 brand hand soaps
- Anything from the olive bar
- Stuffed grape leaves
- Challah bread from the bakery

We used to be frequent WF shoppers but rarely go there anymore. We shop at Wegmans. And after the latest Bezos nonsense, inclined to never go back to WF.

The only thing they have on Wegmans is sourdough bread that is cheaper/bigger/better. But that alone isn't enough of a draw.
