Growing up, my family relied on Wegmans to not only stretch our dollars on groceries through their house brand products and excellent produce section, but also for quick meals in a pinch—whether at the famous sub shop (I’m sorry, but Publix subs have nothing on a Danny’s Favorite) in the store’s Market Café or via shortcut items like precut veggies and marinated meats for throwing on the grill. We tried new foods from other countries in the International aisles and always grabbed Wegmans cakes and baked goods for birthdays and celebrations....
