      I went to the only Wegman’s in CT and I am still lost on what I’m missing. The premade foods are so expensive (a container of Wegman’s fresh baked cookies was $18).

      For regional stores, I prefer going to Stew Leonard’s, but most of our grocery budget is spent at Aldi and Trader Joe’s, with a bit at BJ’s Warehouse.

    2. Here’s all the Wegmans and Price Choppers plotted by 25km clusters to see how many were near one another: https://i.imgur.com/iQ8to25.jpg

      As it turns out almost every Price Chopper is within a 140KM circle around Schenectady NY and only 5 of the 25km clusters has both a Wegmans and a Price Chopper

      That is nicely done. I wonder about the 20-minute cutoff, though. If you live in a rural area or a dense urban area, it often takes more than 20 minutes to get to a grocery store. It might be a better selling point if they added another ring.

      Does this account for traffic?

      I am in the DC area in a 10-15 minute ring, but in my experience, anything under 25 minutes would require a police escort.
