The one I just got at Wegmans was $4.99 for a 2 1/4 pounder.  This time
they had plain, BBQ, Italian Herb and Chipotle available... we grabbed a
chipotle one... :)

 DS> The snack sticks are good.

BJ's is the only place (at least lately) that I've seen the sharp
cheddar sticks.  Wegmans has the mild cheddar and some other varieties,
but not the sharp cheddar that we prefer.  If I have a BJ's coupon, it
ends up being less expensive than Wegmans, otherwise, I think it's about
the same.

 DS> Some of our other standard purchases from BJs include:
 DS> Porterhouse steaks -- $7.99 per pound, much less than supermarket.

That's less than Wegmans, too...  I'm more likely to grab a ribeye at
Wegmans, especially if it's been marked down, though, as part of a
regular weekly run...

 DS> Hamburger -- also less expensive there.  I divide it into quarter
 DS> pound patties and freeze for later use.

I kinda got out of the habit of getting straight hamburger meat, since
if we're in the mmod for hamburgers I'm likely to get some of Wegmans
specialty burgers, like their bacon cheddar, or the bleu cheese (to
which we add slices of bacon), again, even more likely if they've been
reduced for quick sale...

 DS> Nuts, chips and other stacks -- larger containers for almost the same
 DS> price as a bag half the size at super.

Most of what we get isn't available in the right variety at BJ's in that
category... although once in a while I check that sort of thing out...
especially with a coupon...  ;)

 DS> Butter, milk -- also less than super, but we'll buy milk from anywhere
 DS> when we need it.

We've been getting our milk weekly from Wegmans, since they almost
always handle it with care, so the milk doesn't pick up the taste of the
plastic jug, or be too close to the end date...  Haven't actually tried
BJ's there, but part of that is in the timing...  :)

 DS> Campari tomatos -- half the price of the super, but Wegmans is about
 DS> the same price as BJs.

And those, I rarely think about when shopping... ;)
