I live 15 mins away from one and I haven't been there in a while. I was soooo happy today. They have food aisles with huge "Gluten-Free" sections and even the organic. They are better than Whole Foods. It's soooo expensive at Whole Foods and things were cheaper and I found twice as much selection.

If you live near one, I would highly suggest going. It's worth the drive.

I was shocked, they had a lot of options. I have been running into having to go to 2 markets. One for me and the kids and one the other for my husband. He eats gluten-free with us but there are certain things he wants. My son has ADHD and my daughter doesn't. I've read GGCF diets can help ADHD.

Anyway, to be able to have a one stop shop is amazing. Whole Foods is not cheap and I spend a lot fo money there. It was nice to have a lower bill and find twice as much. I have to admit I am nervous shopping outside the gluten-free-Zone. Are there lists anywhere of store gluten-free products? Like cereals, handsoaps, snacks, etc?

Patti is so right! I LOVE that store, and shop there all the time.

Check out their new website, You can actually view all the gluten free products as well as other things they offer.

I had to wait for a Wegmans to open in my area, we just got ours in September, and before that I drove sometimes over an hour to shop there.

I cannot express my love for that place anymore.

Maybe I will put my opening day avatar back up, that summed it up :):)

Yes--like Amanda said, they have a gluten-free list.

I know what you mean about one stop shopping. I used to have to go to the regular grocery store, Whole Foods and the local health food store for everything I needed. Now, I can go to Wegman's and get everything in one shot.

Just last week, a new Giant Foods opened in our area that is almost as good as Wegman's and is a bit closer. They have 2 huge aisles (front to back of the store) of gluten-free and organic foods and personal care products. It's amazing to me that in just the 2 1/2 years that I've been on the diet, it so much easier to find what I need.

When you go onto the Wegmans website, click in the middle of the screen thats says product catalog. On the left side of the webpage click the sort by gluten free, its towards the bottom of the page. It will come up. It is not a list anymore, but you can click on the product and add it to your shopping list.

Which Wegmans do you shop at?

I have to say he was the biggest down to earth bigwig I ever met. The CEO at the Med Center won't even acknowledge the smaller staff members. Danny was all about interacting with the customers.

My big photoshoot is this Friday...exciting!

No bigger of a fan than I !!!!!!! They are the best. They are one company that I can know for sure, for certain that CC is not an issue. I sometimes forget that they are not national, in particular when I speak of shopping as not being hard. If I were ever to relocate it would have to be somewhere that has a Wegmans.

Of course--Ravenwood! Another Wegman's devotee :D

It's so funny--when I told my parents we were moving to PA--one of the first things my dad said was--are you going to be near a Wegmans? :P
