 NB>>>> Always enough desserts to auction off that way...  
 RH>>> And a good variety as well.
 NB>>> Which is part of what makes it so enjoyable every year,,, 
 RH>> That, and the bidding competition. It can get crazy sometimes.
 NB>> I can well imagine... 

 RH> All in good fun and for a good cause however.

Yup.  
 
 RH>>>> We'll see--Raleigh one is only 3 months away from opening now.
 NB>>>> True...  
 RH>>> We were down in the area on Monday. The construction fence is
 RH>>> gone now so we could see inside the plaza better. Looks like
 RH>>> work is progressing well but know there are a lot of small
 RH>>> jobs to finish between now & then.
 NB>>> As is to be expected...  
 RH>> Yes but it will be nice when it finally opens. Somebody was
 RH>> commenting recently that they didn't understand all the "hype"
 RH>> about Wegman's; she'd been in one and was not that impressed
 RH>> with it. Maybe she needed to spend more time in one? (G)
 NB>> It partly depends on what area of a store one does most of their
 NB>> shopping... and what sort of quality they want and are willing
 NB>> to pay for... For me, Wegmans easily wins hands down... the
 NB>> things that matter to me are at least as inexpensive as at any
 NB>> other store, the quality of the fresh foods (produce, meats,
 NB>> seafood, dairy, bakery) is as good or better than anywhere else,
 NB>> I don't mind paying a little more for good fresh food to be
 NB>> prepared at the store for me, and so on.... and the convenience
 NB>> of it all in one place...  Apparently Aldi's is a better fit for
 NB>> some people, including my youngest sister (MG).... shrug... 

 RH> We do a mix of stores, depending on where we are, what we need.

We do shop a different store at times, for some things not available at
Wegmans.... but it's rathew few and far between for us...    Your
suggestion of spending more time in the Wegmans store actually has some
merit.... It wasn't until I was shopping elsewhere (outside of
Rochester) that I realized how accustomed I'd become to what was
available only at Wegmans...
