About double of what the same things cost in Spain. But of course, there we don?t have ?everything? bagels :-)" Wegmans, while a very large and well stocked store, tends to have higher prices than many of its competitors. It is only a small notch below Whole Foods in terms of natural and organic products. I shop at Wegmans myself, especially for all the less healthy and more appetizing stuff. It is very much like the Tesco chain in the UK except Wegmans is doing better financially. As far as a food price comparison to Spain goes, the average income of a Wegmans shopper is fairly high so the food may be considerably cheaper in terms of the necessary time worked to buy the item. Yes Wegmans has bagels but they are not the dense, tooth destroying viands found in Brooklyn. Those are REAL BAGELS! The dentist's best friend. Larry Z
