Wegmans "Consistently Low Prices"

As you may know, Wegman's has reduced their weekly sale flyer from what was once about a 10-page ad down to a meager 4- to 6-page ad. The new ads are also mostly store-brand items. While there are still name-brand items on sale each week, you have to go in the store to find them. So, if you want to get extreme with your couponing at Wegman's, you're going to have to spend some time in the store and either lug all you coupons with you or make a second trip. I know I don't have time for all that, so I find myself very frustrated by this marketing decision. I did, however, find a post today on Frugally Blonde which provided a link to the prices Wegman's is guaranteeing for the rest of the year. While this doesn't offer much opportunity to get those super deals, I think it does give us a good point of reference when it comes to deciding on stock-up price points. To clarify, my thought is if you can get a better price than these, it's probably a safe bet that it's a good time to stockpile - especially if you're talking about a national brand item. Just a few of the items you'll find on the list:

• Bananas, $0.49/lb.
• Wegman's Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, $0.99
• Russer Wunderbar Bologna, $2.49/lb. (this one we may see coupons for)
• Wegman's Food You Feel Good About Yogurt, Lowfat, various flavors, $0.40 each 

Hmmm... I had intended to provide more here, but the Wegman's website has apparently crashed. You can, however, find the full list on the Wegman's website here. You'll need to sign in to get the prices for your specific store. If you haven't signed up with the Wegman's website, I recommend that you do so. Last week I received a $1 off a $5 produce purchase. This week I got $1 off a $5 frozen food purchase. As a member, you can also look up items to check store prices and availability as well as create a shopping list.
