Year 2 - Day 296 - October 24

I was really looking forward to Wegman's coming to our town. However, now that they're here I rarely go. All the other stores send out weekly ads with sale prices. Wegman's doesn't do that. They send out a flyer that just compares their prices to other local stores on certain items. However, the flyer doesn't take into account sales at other stores. Since I have no idea how much most items cost at Wegman's, I don't know if it will save me money. Plus, 80% of what I buy each week (or more) is on sale and/or has a coupon to use. We don't have a huge stock pile like the crazy people on TV, but we do have a few extra jars of peanut butter when it goes on sale for almost free and then that holds us over until the next time it goes on sale. (Almost everything we buy goes on sale approximately every 6 weeks.) So sorry Wegman's, you can keep sending me these little coupon booklets in the mail, but as long as they're only for a few items that we don't need, you won't get my regular Sunday morning business.

Year 2 - Day 251 - September 9

My, my, isn't this a spectacular example of stellar photography? This is called "quickly taking a picture at a red light."

More importantly than my lack of focus & composition is the tiny brown building behind the telephone poles.

That, my friends, is Wegmans. It is opening in less than 10 days!!!!!!!!!

Day 257 - September 14

Since I had off today for primary election day, I met Mike for lunch at Wegmans.  Wegmans is a great place to eat lunch because the options are limitless.  Today, he had sushi (freshly made by those people in the middle there - I watched them make sushi the whole time we ate lunch) and I had cooked food from the Asian bar.  There was also a salad bar, pre-made subs, to-order subs, fancy ceasar salad bar, pizza, a wing bar, and a bunch of other stuff. 

Granted, by the time he filled up on sushi it cost more than eating dinner out, but my share of the lunch was really filling and affordable.
