    Too bad that you pay so much more for the food there that it more than offsets the savings on the gas.

    Spend $50 more to save $5.

    Its been my experience that Tops is usually less expensive compared to Wegmans on an overall basis.

    I love those vacuum packs
    can freeze them for a really long time with no freezer burn

    I've found that wegmans normally has better strip steak prices than tops unless tops is having a sale on it
    but I do most of my general shopping at tops and usually stick to what's on sale and stock up on it
    the last time I checked tops had a better selection of campbells chunky soup. for example I've never seen the "Old Fashioned Potato Ham Chowder" at wegmans.
    wegmans does have a brand of bacon that I prefer, can't remember the name but it comes in a 3 pound package and is thick cut hickory smoked

    I shop at both, however I prefer Tops as my regular shopping experience. I find it easier to park, the store is not packed with customers and the store is always orderly and neat.

    Wegman's produce at least when I go in there is a mess, it's like a herd of customers went in there because they know a blizzard is coming. I find it hard to locate stuff, and I feel Wegman's has a different feeling when you go in there as opposed to Tops. I like Wegman's card and gift center.

    Overall, I weekly shop at Tops. I actually prefer their meats over Wegman's. I have had some bad meat from there.

    Sometimes I'll shop at Dash's too. It depends.

    I shop at both, and I usually shop the sales as I have a nice-sized pantry and a small freezer to take advantage of them.

    I like Wegman's produce better. I think they have better prices, except for sales, on pet food and kitty litter (serious items on my list as the crits get food and toiletries before moi!).

    I like Tops for meats, luncheon meat, and staples. They also have better prices on bulk walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cranberries which is important to me when I bake.

    I do like getting a dime a gallon off my gas for every $100 I spend at Tops.

    I think the ambiance and presentation at Wegmans is better. It also seems to be the "official food store" of my employer, as I can't seem to ever go there without running into somebody from work!
