It is, hands-down, my favorite supermarket ever. Amazing overall selection, extensive produce selection, great wine/beer shop, intoxicating bakery and one of the best prepared foods departments I've seen. I am not embarrassed to say that a typical Saturday night for us includes a trip to Wegmans for dinner and then doing our food shopping afterwards. Ours has an electric train which runs around the ceiling of the store and LO looks forward to going every time. We make an event of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans/page/2#post-2177875 Thu, 14 May 2015 09:44:44 +0000 HTownMom 2177875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best place ever!!! My husband grew up with Wegmans and I love it so much since first going! We got married in Upstate NY and put Wegmans as one of the suggested places to see on our wedding website!!! It's that good and everyone who goes to one was amazed!! My DH and I constantly wish for Wegmans to expand down to Texas and never miss an opportunity to go to one when we are on the East Coast!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans/page/2#post-2177790 Thu, 14 May 2015 09:18:29 +0000 dagret 2177790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Wegmans, but it's a madhouse on the weekends. If you can stick to the basics, or your grocery list, it's awesome - and well-priced. Our local paper recently priced a sample grocery list and Wegmans came out on top as the cheapest. </p> <p>But their specialty stuff - cheese, olives, the bakery, prepared items - is fabulous. And that's where they get you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans/page/2#post-2177757 Thu, 14 May 2015 08:57:21 +0000 photojane 2177757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're moving to a new city, and I was talking to a girl who lives there and she was so excited to tell me that they're getting a Wegman's. I was like uh.. okay? Grocery store, cool. But, I guess now I understand why she was so excited to share the news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans/page/2#post-2177726 Thu, 14 May 2015 08:34:26 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2177726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ooohh! Thanks! That was a good article. So sad I've got to wait 2 years. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2177651 Thu, 14 May 2015 06:59:24 +0000 JerricaBenton 2177651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically everything everyone else mentioned - but my absolute favorite thing is the wegmans app! You can make your lists and it tells u every aisle location and you can look up recipes on the app and automatically add all the ingredients to your list. It keeps track of all your purchases so you can quickly add your usually purchased items. It really helps me meal plan and I barely forget things anymore because I just add to the list whenever I realize I need something. The customer service there is also top-notch.</p> <p>ETA :lo literally loves it there. The stores are really nicely designed and there are tons of things for her to look at ie; murals, fountains, a train, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2177646 Thu, 14 May 2015 06:49:25 +0000 dc yoga bee 2177646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two words: Fresh Produce!!!!!</p> <p>I find the produce at trader joe's is not fresh, and both DH and I got sick off of one of their many recalled salads from there. Whole foods has such a limited selection. Wegman's has the better quality meats and produce, but is cheaper than whole foods since it's still an actual grocery store. I like that it's large, and I have space to shop. It's better than the tiny aisles I'm used to in the city (first world problem I know!) We are finally getting one next month!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2177640 Thu, 14 May 2015 06:32:39 +0000 regberadaisy 2177640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: in case you needed a little more convincing that Wegmans is the bees knees. ;)<br /> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/05/13/why-wegmans-really-is-the-best-supermarket-in-the-u-s/" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/05/13/why-wegmans-really-is-the-best-supermarket-in-the-u-s/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176945 Wed, 13 May 2015 12:38:03 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2176945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are moving closer to Wegmans and I am happy about it! I'll try to give a short list:</p> <p>-Good beer selection<br /> -Delicious bakery treats<br /> -Awesome catering- we got everything for my son's Baptism and first birthday parties and it was easy to order, easy to pick up and very good food. The catering manager went above and beyond in helping us plan, I mean this is a grocery store not the place I had my wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176893 Wed, 13 May 2015 12:13:19 +0000 Dandelion 2176893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love wegmans! Everytime I go back home to WNY, I make sure to make a stop! I used to live right by the original one.</p> <p>I love their cheese section and bakery. When I was little, my mom would give me our can deposit money and I'd spend it in the bulk candy section. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176889 Wed, 13 May 2015 12:11:31 +0000 kodybear 2176889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i grew up with wegmans and have not found a grocery store better than wegmans since being away from it!! we moved to the west coast over a decade ago and i still miss it! the bulk candy section!! you'll never find another grocery store with one like it. the cookies! the cafe section! we used to go to wegmans and just hang out in the food court. haha</p> <p>[attach=327/15/noat37.600x450.0f63a3d23e7a8e14f00d9b9482f5f137.jpg] (this is probably only half of the bulk section!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176860 Wed, 13 May 2015 11:56:32 +0000 LovelyPlum 2176860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: YES, what's NOT to love?! Also, interestingly, I like the Wegman's closer to me better. Somehow the one out by the mall overwhelms me. But your point is well-taken.</p> <p>I love Wegman's. Their brand is really good, and they've got lots of variety. I have to be a little cautious, because I can easily buy all the things if I'm not paying attention. But Wegmans is awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176801 Wed, 13 May 2015 11:24:40 +0000 andthewildones 2176801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's never a place to go and grab something but if you have time to hang they have a TON to offer! bakery is my fave and they usually have cafes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176793 Wed, 13 May 2015 11:20:56 +0000 bunnylove08 2176793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>its been years since I was at wegmens. We use to go when we visited close family friends in Rochester. Its HUGE! I think it reminds me of Fairway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176781 Wed, 13 May 2015 11:17:14 +0000 daniellemybelle 2176781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything.

I was thinking of going to Lexington for lunch but now I'm kind of craving Wegman's after all this, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176664 Wed, 13 May 2015 10:17:06 +0000 Shutterbug 2176664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: haha I do the exact same thing. Or rather I used to, but then they opened a location literally in the same office park as my work, and now he's the one adding things to the list for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176658 Wed, 13 May 2015 10:13:56 +0000 danda 2176658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also love the app! I share the login with my husband so if needed I can create a grocery list and he has confidence that he can shop by himself and get the exact items we need :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176652 Wed, 13 May 2015 10:09:21 +0000 littlebug 2176652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Oh, yeah, the app! I create my shopping list, and it gives me a pretty accurate estimated cost for my specific location! </p> <p>@78h2o: I agree, I think their prices are better than most of the other grocery stores in the area. What gets me is buying all the rare/fancy stuff or the expensive cheeses. That's where I start to see my bill skyrocket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176637 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:59:36 +0000 78h2o 2176637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Oh yeah, their ice cream really is fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176636 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:58:46 +0000 78h2o 2176636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I freaking LOVE Wegmans! There is one 5 minutes from my house and it is pretty much the only place I shop. Their store brand is a great value.... great quality for good prices. Actually, their prices in general are better than other local options... ShopRite, Giant, etc. The produce is usually very good quality. Their pre-marinated meats are very good (I esp. like the honey mustard pork tenderloin). LOVE their bakery, the deli, organic foods section, and the hot/cold food bar... the food bar isn't cheap, but it's a great place to grab a quick meal with LO. They have a child friendly dining area at our Wegmans, with little tables, a tv playing cartoons, etc. They have a lot of cooking classes and other activities for kids and families as well. </p> <p>@littlebug: My LO loves all the same things... seeing the lobsters and the whole fish laid out in ice... the cow in the dairy section, the train that runs around the ceiling. I have had the same experience with the employees as well and have overheard employees taking about how much they like working there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176633 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:58:19 +0000 BSB 2176633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I lived in PA, I loved Wegmans. Loved their desserts. </p> <p>Now that I'm in WA and no Wegman, it sucks. </p> <p>I have heard their popularity has grown and Wegmans can be just as bad as Costco when it comes to crazy parking and crazy people during the peak hours. Though, when I go home, I would still try to make a stop to see what they have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176631 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:55:22 +0000 Shutterbug 2176631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: I'm surprised I've never run into you at Wegmans, I'm there like, twice a week :silly: </p> <p>The bakery is fantastic, so is the catering, and all the prepared foods. To get specific, I love their organic rosemary olive oil bread, carrot cake, blueberry lemon loaf, grandpa's goes vegetarian tomato sauce, pre-washed &amp; cut veggies (butternut squash, brussel sprouts, green beans, etc), their ice cream, um... what else... we get their organic eggs and milk, they have lots of 'family packs' of stuff like paper towels, etc. I do all my grocery shopping at Wegmans. There are only 3 in my region, but conveniently one is in my office park at work, and one is in the town next to where I live.</p> <p>ETA: oh, and they have an app with all their products, and you can create a shopping list. It tells you which aisle everything is in, so convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176604 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:36:30 +0000 theotherstark 2176604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three words: Wegman's chocolate cake. </p> <p>Seriously the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176602 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:36:24 +0000 Happygal 2176602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I would have to be very organized before going to shop there. If you forgot to pick something up and had to back track to get it from another aisle, that would be a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176600 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:35:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 2176600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much everything listed above! E LOVES to see the train! </p> <p>I really like their store brands--they have interesting things I can't find at my local store, like fancy grain and rice blends, and they have a good international section (at least compared to my local store...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-like-about-wegmans#post-2176589 Wed, 13 May 2015 09:31:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2176589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: haha @BKCaribBaby: I'm sure the last time NYC was so buzzed is probably when Tim Hortons came to NYC! </p>
