[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved out of the area and I worried that I would miss Wegman's. But I don't miss it. Looking back, I think it was way overpriced for most things. It had good prices on dairy (milk, eggs) and raw chicken, but otherwise it was spendy. I went into one recently on a visit to NOVA, and zowie -- the prices were outrageous compared to what I pay now. They lure you in with the nice aesthetics and size of store, but don't be fooled. It is an expensive store experience.[/quote]

+1, Wegman's is not good and not well priced, it's just got this weird cult in this area because people like their prepared foods and the stores have a more welcoming feel than like a Safeway or a Harris Teeter.

I get devotion to other grocery stores, even if I don't share it, because at least the reasoning makes sense. Like Trader Joe's has it's drawbacks, but I get the appeal of a small store (easy, quick shopping experience) with lots of prepared and frozen foods, plus a good beer and wine selection. It's for a specific customer and it makes sense. Same with Whole Foods -- it serves the people who shop there very well, with all the crunchy, specialty, organic stuff they like. But with Wegman's it's like, what is so great about this? I can buy Cheerios and blocks of cheddar cheese and milk and eggs and flour at the Harris Teeter closer to my house for like 5% less, why would I go to the Wegman's for the all the prepared foods (which I normally don't buy) and better lighting?[/quote]

Why do I shop at Wegman's?  Because on Sundays, I go and have lunch in the prepared food area, giving myself 30 minutes of child-free time before I do the shopping.  It's a little break for me.  I have to eat lunch, but doing it without the kids and video games in the background or their friends hanging out, is a little bit of peace and serenity.  I have to shop anyways, and this combines the two into one for a much needed break.  Plus there are a few products that I can get there that I can't get at other stores.  It's not my everyday store, but I tend to to about once every month or two and just roll all my shopping for that week into that trip so that I can periodically get the handful of specialty items that we use.[/quote]
