As member owners, we decided we needed to visit the new coop. It is nice and kind of looks like a whole foods. There is definately a good selection of food although the prices, as usual, are a little outrageous.
For example, a 113 grams of salad for $3.99 or $17 for a piece of beef. Some stuff is also reasonably priced but in general it's too expensive for me. Yet as
(e:joshua) said they definately have some yummy treats.
I also don't understand the need for the giant loft ceiling on one half of the building. Maybe someone know more about that?
We bought lots of fruit for smoothies. I guess in the end, I am glad I have somewhere new to shop close by, but it won't make me forget wegmans is a local business to, with much more reasonable prices.
In general I think thats true - the last two days I've spent $40 on food that would have cost me $25 at Wegman's. I think if you want to spend about the same as you would elsewhere you really have to be careful about what you buy. The produce is excellent though! The blueberries and raspberries looked very good, but unfortunately the only thing I could think of using them for was angel food cake. :(
