[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]O.P. here.

So, I went to Wegman's this afternoon. Earlier in this thread I posted per pound prices for bananas at several different grocery stores that I shopped at in the past month. I was hoping to get a great deal at Wegman's, based on your suggestions. Well, Wegman's came in at 49 cents a pound. No deal to be found there, as far as bananas go!

Also, I bought trail mix by the lb for the first time in a long time, per someone's suggestion.  No savings there. In fact, I paid 75 cents more for the same amount, same type of trail mix that I had bought in a package from Giant. I was also a bit grossed out by the dirty scoop. The handle was brown and sticky. It was obvious that it had never been cleaned. The quest for cheap groceries continues...[/quote]

The Wegman's near me has good prices on produce and meat. What I really find saves me money is their store brand instead of name brand stuff. Their stuff tends to be really good (odd exception: canned green beans) while the prices are low. Their ice cream is better, and cheaper, than any name brand. Milk costs less, and I'm always pleased with the overall quality of their groceries.

I also love that I can pick up really nice food there too. I like to have a good cheese around, or grab fresh seafood. Their employees are helpful too. It's the best of all worlds for my family.[/quote]

I'm the pp that drives to the Germantown Wegmans from Bethesda.  You bring up an excellent point about the store brand stuff.  I'm only brand loyal on a few items; most things I buy whatever is cheapest.  I end up buying a lot of Wegmans store brand items, and so far, so good.  My favorite is definitely the pasta sauce.  It's so good and not super acidic like some brands.  And at .99 a jar you cant beat the price.

Which green beans didnt you like?  Was it regular or French Cut?[/quote]
