WegmansReviews of wegmans.com

Depends on which Wegmans you go to. Certain zip codes will have better stock and produce. I have watched Mountain Valley water (case) go up in increments of $2.00 since last year. We are now at $31.99 I just purchased a case last week at $29.99. I started buying at $23.99. And just consistently watch the price go up $2.00 from one week to the next.

I don't have any concerns or problems with the employees they are always helpful. I find that their produce is horrible or it rots within days or purchase. I purchase their organic almond butter, the only ingredient is Almonds, now they changed it and it now has Palm Oil (horrible not healthy) sugar (again, not healthy). I will no longer be purchasing this product any longer from Wegmans. Please stop changing items. I guess people complained about stirring the oil into the butter, too bad. Pure almond butter is healthier than adding all the crap ...

You ask for a date and I am there so much that you can just pick any date. As for being a grocery store, I think they rank among the best in having mostly high quality inventory and it is mostly orderly arranged. The question is at what price? On a few items they beat Shoprite and Walmart grocery for brand name items. But I am mostly a meat eater and during the holidays their Ribeye went from 14.99lb to 19.99lb. That is not even grass fed beef. When I tried to find some disaster in the beef industry, there was none to explain the $5 jump. Stew Leonards while always more expensive in Ribeye, didn't raise their price $5. Wegmans simply did it because they can. And so their 4 packs (club pack) of Ribeye just still sits there. So now if you go to buy the cheaper cut of Chuck roast steak (which they use several different creative terminologies for), on January 2 I bought 3 separate small packages @ $7.99lb. I again went in there on January 25th for a few other items and to see if they had these on the shelf again...and they did...@ 10.99lb! Outrageous. A $3 increase. They do this because they micromanage demand...since a lot of Ribeye was still sitting there and many smart consumers know how good Chuck can actually be with a little extra preparation. So I wound up buying a couple of nice Chuck Roasts cut to the same size from Shoprite @ $5.99lb. Perfectly delicious! There are some things, too many to itemize in this review, that they rob you on...and yet there are some very good prices on Helman's and Gerolsteiner and BelGioioso Ricotta. Quality Bacon and certain cuts of pork are usually very favorably priced too. Of course this helps draw you in to save $0.75 on an item here and an item there. But the best thing the consumer can do is not pay this kings ransom, since Wegmans is also very greedy. And let the perishable products rot on the shelf when they jack the price up like a company of thieves. BTW...I have also been to the Wegmans in Harrison, Westchester County NY and they charge even more for the same item I buy in their Montvale, NJ store. I guess they kindly estimate the income of the local residents before taking them to the cleaners. And I must travel 20 miles X 2 to go to Wegmans Montvale so I can only go when I am traveling to or from work! Then I just stop in to give them my paycheck.

I love Wegmans as a whole but their price gouging in unmatched on their prepared foods. After covid, prices went up just like everything else but their continuous price gouging is unethical. The particular meals I like started at $6, went up to $7 during covid, then $10 within a month and then $12. To add to that, as prices go up the amount of food decreases, so I stop purchasing those meals. They just recently started selling these prepared meals in a bowl. Most of the bowl that I like is quinoa, rice and broccoli, but also has red peppers and the thai chicken. For the past 3 weeks they've been $10, go in today and the price is up to $12 but with less chicken. This is so ridiculous.

Too much eymphise on beer and wine and not enough on food products

I use to love this supermarket but everything has changed because of the economy. They had the best tofu, salon and crab legs but now everything looks old. The portions of the pre-cooked food are high but quantity is small. 

I recently purchased ground hamburger meat and it was not good. Whoever was doing the processing must have ground in a lot of bone cartilage. Could not finish the burger, kept biting into hard chunks of non edible parts. On another topic, what is the deal making me pay for worthless paper bags? I won’t get into the weeds on the energy cost and environmental destruction to make a paper bag vs a plastic bag, don’t get me started. The upside for me is I’m limited to purchasing only the items I can loosely fit into one bag. The idea I should take my own bags into a store to tote out the items I purchase seems ridiculous.

I have been a Wegmans Customer for about 10 years now and I regularly shop there once a week. The first five years that I went there, I used to get brochures in the mail with many coupons that saved me at least $25 every week. Then those started getting fewer and fewer, and the coupons were getting down to about three or four dollars, until they stopped altogether. But of course inflation set in and prices went up with it, I didn’t blame the supermarket. Now the latest thing that they do is they don’t have any large sizes of anything except for their own brands. I don’t know always like their stuff. And now the latest is, they do not give you any plastic bags with your paper bags to support the paper bag any longer. The paper bag is not strong enough to support your stuff at all. On top of that, there’s a 5 cent charge for every paper bag you use, forcing you to buy their plastic carry bags. I always recycled those plastic bags and paper bags. The paper bags we use for garbage, and the plastic was recycled. Now I really don’t wanna go back to that supermarket, because I need my bags for my garbage. Not only that, but I can’t buy grain fed beef there anymore. Everything is grass fed, and I’m not fond of grass fed beef. These are things that need improvement. Needless to say, I’m not really sure I wanna go back. I think Whole Foods is looking better and better all the time. Sorry Wegmans.
