I like going to Wegman’s on my Buffalo layovers. It is more affordable than Whole Foods. Erewhon in California is my favorite market. I also like Central Market in Texas.
I *love* Wegman’s so much! We had one near my college and I went there all the time. Wish we had something like that in Colorado.
