Stick to non prepared foods and you will notice the prices are fantastic.

I'll start - the French butter is divine.


Where is this French butter?

It’s expensive if you choose to buy the expensive items. As a grocery store the prices are perfectly reasonable.


I find that Wegmans has really good prices for most of the regular groceries. But all of the items that make Wegmans special are so ridiculously overpriced that I don’t want to go there anymore.

I once grabbed a tub without looking at the price. I did not notice till I got home. They were great but I can not justify the price.


+1. They are great but ridiculous at that price point.

Frozen pizzas-we buy the 3-pack of pepperoni-they are great!
Applesauce pouches
Beer-consistently lower price



What brand? The Wegmans near me doesn't have this

Yes!! I hate the deli turkey there at wet and. I only ever buy Biars head for deli meats. But I do love the cheeses and breads at Wegmans

If I am near a Wegmans, I will go into buy olives and bread. I might get the prepared salmon and vegetables. Not great for the price, but I tell myself it is healthy.

They have a turkey lasagna soup that is pretty good (not super healthy, not horrible)

Charcuterie/cheese trays
Baked goods (not too sweet for me)
Pizza dough
Sahlen's hot dogs

Most of their brands of staples are pretty good, too, so I stock up whenever we go.

The bakery and hot bar are delicious but very very over priced. I rarely buy anything from there unless it's a special occasion.

A good selection and variety of their housebrands and they're reasonably priced and good.

I hate parking there (at least the Fairfax location).
