What's Your Most Outrageous Wegmans Purchase?

You know the truffles aren't that bad because they are so light. And you don't need that many to make a big effect on a meal because they are so strong and pungent. You can get one for like $20 which admittedly is a splurge but by no means a huge splurge.

I have to go to the Wegman's in Hunt Valley for some things because the one in Abingdon does not carry them.

The seafood department has gotten me a few times. But was so good. Oh, and cheese. Love cheese.

For me, the most outrageous thing about Wegmans is the fact that I hate to go grocery shopping (wrote did a couple of blogs on this) , but actually enjoy going to this store!

Forget the Wegman's merchandise purchase, what a cover photo! The sunset colour contrast is outstanding - great job, Brad!!

I find it extremely great to be able to go to one store and be able to buy all my gluten-free foods in one place !!!!!!!

Thanks! The ol' iPhone came through that day.

I was buying a piece of Salmon one time and an old girlfriend saw me and started talking to me. Needless to say, I was a bit distracted. I only went there to buy a few things and when the cashier totalled me up the bill came to $125. The Salmon was $104!
When I got home I was almost afraid to cook it for fear I would ruin it.

Fresh shrimp for like $17/pound. You can get it for half the price at Giant, but I really didn't want to make another stop.

Ah, if only it were closer to me in Forest Hill! No outrageous purchase, just the extreme pleasure of finding a vast array of healthier foods to choose from: organic, gluten free, dairy free, nitrate free, etc. If you or your children have food allergies, great place to shop. Whole Foods is the only other store that's been on the same level for me in that department. (Sorry Dave's Natural!) I do like the prepped, no-brainer meat selections at Wegman's once in a while when I want to splurge ($$$$) and put something "fancy" on the dinner table, and their hot buffet line for a quick bite has no rival! (Prefer the 2nd story tables at Hunt Valley's, but Abingdon's little kiddie area rocks. Wish I had it when mine were tiny.) Wondering how they're doing, compared to high-dollar neighborhood of Hunt Valley?

Every time I see truffles, reminds me of that teenage entrepreneur/truffle dealer who now works mostly in NYC. $5000/lb for fungi???

You have to understand the magnificence of the truffle. Wegmans could even sell the rice that they sit in for something per pound. The rice I'm sure is very fragrant.
