Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Wegmans??

I keep hearing about Wegmans here and elsewhere.
Is it all that?
If so, why the hell isn't there one here??
My buddy and son came in from PA last week and stayed a few days to bird hunt, he couldn't shut up about Wegmans???? Even his 12YO son chimed in about the virtues of Wegmans???
It isn't fair!! Apparently!
We are getting a ALDI, is it any account?

Great selection. High $$$$$$

ALDIs here smells like you would if you went dumpster diving for your food. This after being open about three weeks? Their prices are only competitive, not better. Guess where I will be shopping?

It's the Best of the Best!

I'll pay a little more for good quality,great meats and fresh produce and a selection that rivals any grocery store any place in the US probably the world

Don't know why your Aldi's is like that. I really like mine. The prices on many items are far better than competitive and the competition here is stiff.

We're basically stuck with 'Super Krogers' and a Food Lion every 4th block, and Walmart[but I don't really consider their meat to be meat].
We have a small local that has decent meats, but they're fading fast.

A grocery store every 4 blocks ?

Maybe I misread but,........

Nice DVDG

Ok I exaggerated a tad. Food Lion seems to put a store on either side of all other grocers around here. Tiny little worthless stores IMO.

Sometimes when shopping @ FL they seem to discontinue new products after a brief time on their shelves but never a problem asking them to order for me or just to restock. ????????

We have a small store here and a WM. That's it. No way in hell I'd go back to city living. It all works out in the end. Thumbs up.

We have a Wegmans, and we shop there pretty often. They have fresh breads, good fruit and veggies. Some things are more expensive, but the quality is worth it. For example, we don't pitch fruit from Wegmans because it is better and we generally don't buy excess due to the price. They have some incredible number of cheeses, certainly hundreds. They also have more European foods. They also have prepared food, and while expensive it is convenient. We often get prepared food and take the dogs out to a park for dinner in the warmer months. No fuss, and it gives time to get out after work.

I found Aldi's when I moved to Brisbane Australia and they were dumps.

HEB does a good job here though I will head to their Central Market stores for a few items. I also hit Whole Foods every now and again. I too will throw a bit of cash for quality meat and produce.

We love Aldi's, none real close. They have a lot of Euro brands and styles. Their chocolate is really good. Styled like Sav A Lot, but the clientele is not welfare-al-ways.

Well they are expanding at a pretty rapid rate to the south.

They're a great store. Prices on some stuff is a little higher than Safeway/Giant but some items, especially their store brands, is cheaper.

Employees know the store and if you ask where something is they will take you there.

The fish counter is amazing as is the vegetable selection. i've never bought their dry aged beef but heard good reports.

We don't have Wegman's here. Wish we did. It would add to the competition.

Feel sorry for you guys with the chitty Aldi's. They're relatively new to this area and they only build new stores, not take over existing smelly old Winn-Dixies and such. Shopped there this evening and saved a lotta dough on good stuff.

The mention about getting European and especially German imported foods is true. Sometimes they're only stocked for a short time though, which sucks.

Wegmans does not have that many stores, but I hear good things about them.
Down here, it's Publix territory. Most of the stores do a darn good job.
We have two Aldi stores here in Gainesville, a lot more of them in Miami. Decent stores, but limited selection, mostly all private brand.
In Gainesville, we also have Lucky Stores, Trader Joe, Fresh Market and Whole Foods. Losts of choices, but I'd say 95% of my shopping is at Publix.

Wegmans has 92 stores located in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts.

More coming to Va and NC
