What to buy at Wegmans?

I agree. In fact, while the produce selection is amazing, I have gotten more bad produce from Wegman's than any other store.

While Wegman's is bigger, shinier, and newer than other stores in my area, I actually prefer Giant. Giant has most of what you need and it's easy in easy out. Where Wegman's shines is some of their prices on staples are cheaper- milk, eggs, cereal...etc. Their meats and seafood are insanely expensive.

I go there when I need to load up and buy bulk quantity- the produce is much better than Costco. They sell bulk sized produce, meats, etc. and it's very fresh. The cheese counter is great. I really like the bakery, especially the bagels. They always have enough cashiers, so at most I have one person in front of me in the check out line. I can somehow go there, load my cart with everything I need and a few gourmet items, and spend around $200. When I shop at Costco, I spend $400 and still have to go to another grocery store after (and the produce never tastes good).

crabcakes (prepared, and you can get them heated up to eat at the store) are wonderful but expensive

Sushi! The only grocery store sushi in the area that actually resemble the real thing.
(Or if we are there as a family - we usually have a sushi lunch in their dining area)
