You're pretty much correct, Ed, and I _did_ over-simplify a bit. If you
shop very carefully, a lot of Wegman's prices are in line with other
stores. But as you point out, a lot aren't. At the nearest Wegman's to
me, you enter through the food court/prepared foods/deli/seafood/custom
meats area, and by the time I navigate through all of that, I'm left
wondering if I should have brought a co-signer with me.
