Wegmans is a good supermarket. They have good prices. They have a variety of products, and they keep everything well-stocked, even if the "fresh" food is not out on the displays.
I previously worked for Wegmans in the bakery. If you purchase bread from the bakery, I recommend purchasing only the made-in-house bread, which includes the cheese bread, jalapeno cheese bread, signature Italian, and Marco Polo bread. All other breads were not baked in the store, but rather, they were prepared in a facility in Rochester, NY and then frozen and shipped to this store, where they are kept in the back in a large room of cardboard boxes. Then each morning, the bread is reheated in the oven so that it comes out warm; however, that doesn't make the bread freshly baked.
If you want to buy a cake, kindly ask for the fresh cakes that are hidden in the refrigerator in the back. The cakes that are on display are older and less fresh. Same goes for the bread. Kindly ask for the breads, such as challah, cinnamon raisin, marathon, multigrain, etc. that were prepared the same day.
As for the food court area, virtually of all that food has been previously frozen as well. Most of it is not fresh, and most of it does not taste very good, even though all of that food looks amazing. A lot of the fruit in the salad bar has been cut and prepared a few days in advance, so you know that it will not taste as good as that of the fruit in the produce section.
The donuts are extremely good though. So are the cookies! I recommend getting the cookies with the most amount of frosting on it. Now that it's the holiday season, you can get fat as shit and your boyfriend will never know.
If you get to the store at 6AM, the rolls will come right out of the oven, and they will be very hot. Eat enough of those biscuits and you'll be a biscuit under 300 pounds.
There is no bread in the bakery that is gluten-free, but there is a section of the store dedicated to gluten-free people. There is also a large selection of VEGAN foods. They have in stock the So Delicious almond milk and coconut ice creams, Daiya cheese, Amy's vegan pizza, and my personal favorite, Tofutti cutie ice cream sandwiches.
The produce section is huge. Right now the apples are cheap (88 cents per pound). During the summer, they offer 2 pounds of strawberries for 4 dollars. I like the celery here. It is always erect.
Take advantage of the free samples. There is no particular day or time that is more likely to have free samples, but typically during the daytime hours you are more likely to find free samples.
If you go to the coffee shop, be sure to order the pineapple banana smoothie. It will elevate you. *Alert* Don't try the pizza at the pizza shop. It tastes awful.
I think I have covered everything except the meat section. I don't know anything about meat. read more
