Wegman's

[Anonymous]

I love Wegman's as much as anyone. But I have to know for those of you who travel 1/2 hour or more, HOW do you find the time to go there? I would love to go there once a week, but it is simply not reasonable. How do you make time? When do you go? During the week?

Friday night date night! Dinner in the cafe followed by leisurely walking around/shopping. We've done this at the Dulles store. Love Wegman's!

This isn't really a question about Wegman's, it's about time management. If you put that in the title of your post you might get mire helpful replies. I stop on my way home from work and let DH do dinner/bathtime with the baby.

We're like 23:30 and go on Friday nights. We go to the Fairfax store.

I love Wegmans and I hate it. It's SO busy and crowded. I get claustraphobic while shopping there. And people drive their carts like they do their cars - badly. Courtesy is lacking. Hard to navigate the aisles.

However I do love the meats and love that the checkout lanes move quickly.

We drive about 20 minutes to get there. We don't do every week - but when we do go, I try to go on Sunday mornings - it isn't as busy, we have a bite to eat to satisfy the kids and I get coffee. The only reason we travel there is their prepared foods. We typically get a couple of the $6 meals (big enough to share) and provides dinner for Mon/Tues and a few of the pasta and/or salad bowls for lunch.

I only shop there late in the evening, around 9:30 or 10. I typically go on a Friday or Saturday night. Aisles are wide open with very limited shoppers. They are open until midnight. Downside is that sometimes the fruits and veggies might notbe fully stocked. Still, I typically find that I am able to get what I need for produce. If not, I get the missbg items from Giant the next day.

Can't beat their prices. I think a gallon of whole milk was $2.49 on my last trip. Whereas I think I paid $3.89 or something close from Safeway the week prior. (strongly dislike Safeway, by the way. Agreedwith so much that was written in the recent safeway thread.)

chicken breast, club pack, is ALWAYS $1.99/pound. Giant has periodic sales on their large packs, I think $1.79/pound....but again, that only their sale price as compared to Wegmans everyday price. Also, I LOVE that the wegmans bulk package already separates the chicken - 2 breasts per sealed portion. Hello, time saver! No more partitioning out the chicken from Giant! Now, I cut 2 portions out and keep in fridge and remaining go straight to freezer.

I could go on and on about my love for wegmans! I do draw the line/love at shopping their during the day on a weekend. Did that once and it was a nightmare. Never again. They had people offering taste tests IN the already crowded aisles. WTH????

I've never been to a Wegman's and have no interest in traveling to buy groceries!!

I go Sunday mornings or late evening. I don't go there more than once a month because of the 25-30 min drive to get there. I go to stock up on meats and dry goods. They also have yummy birthday cakes.
