Wegmans charges $6.50 for one slice of cake

Bored today, OP? LOL

Doodie Bubble Butt OP-

The entire cake is $26.00- Far better deal. It really has vanilla specks in the icing? That sounds delicious-

I would have bought the entire cake!

Put the rest in the freezer!

OP, boxed cake mixes. Problem solved as you sit on the floor and 'drink' the whole cake like a fat whore. Done.

OP, Albertsons has been doing this for 2-3 years now. When my siblings visit we'll sometimes buy individual slices of cake in different flavors rather than buying one cake everyone may not like.

It's insane. Yesterday I ordered 4 different large cake slices, but this is the last time I'll do it.

Just go to Gelson's and get the potato salad.

It's much better.

Ralphs always has yummy cake slices when you walk in. Many flavors. $3.99. When they are on special , $1.99 or two slices for $3.00

Wegmans, Schmegmans….

Walgreens knows fat whores will pay anything for cake. Kinda like a crack whore who will do anything for more crack.

I rarely shop at Wegman’s. Its nearest location is pretty inconvenient for me. But I happened to stop at another Wegman’s last week and I picked up some sushi. The taste and quality were astonishing. It was the first time I’d ever had truly good supermarket sushi.

My point is, if that cake is equally good, $6.50 is a reasonable price. I’d prefer that to paying $4 or $5 for a mediocre cake.

You had the option to not buy the slice of cake, OP. Also, you type fat.

You could buy the Wegmans Mini Ultimate cake which is 13 oz for $13 slice it into four pieces, freeze the other three slices and have two slices for free.

Of course we all know you would eat the entire mini cake.

OP- I went to my local Wegmans a couple of times. I was not impressed. Their produce selection is mediocre especially for a store that is over 100,000 square feet. Their selection of organic produce is even skimpier. I agree with you. The prices of many items especially their cakes, cookies etc are WAY overpriced. The store I went to they perceive as being in an affluent area with a high per capita income so they decided to charge ripoff prices based on the average income- that's my guess. I would rather go to Whole Foods ( not a ripoff the way Wegmans is) or Trader Joe's.

Wegmans- at least the one in my area seems to be price gouging because they assume people because of their average high income will tolerate their ripoff prices.

I bought a huge, delicious carrot cake last week at Wegmans for $30. Who buys single slices of cake? Odd.

Some people may not want to inhale an entire cake in one sitting, R13.

[quote] The Wegmans people ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I missed the part where they forced you to buy it.

R6 - agreed - but I've never seen them at $1.99 or 2 for $3. Consider yourself lucky.

Just shut up and be grateful you HAVE a Wegmans!

Oh I remember many years ago waiting for 11 PM and then hitting Ralph's up, because that's when all their daily baked goods went on half price sale. While my twink metabolism let me eat half a cake without much penalty, my BF eventually dumped me for a vegetarian.

Now I'm an eldergay on GLP-1 compounded and back to me twink weight with no cake cravings. Alas, only I can enjoy those benefits - no one else see me.

Obsessed with Ralph's double coupon policy back in the 20th century, what a time to be alive.

Are all y'all incapable of making a cake?

Just go to Walmart, you FAT WHORE!

Mexican bakeries have whole cakes for that price AND they’re better.

It's called Wegner's. DUH!!!

I bought a piece of Wegmans carrot cake for $6.50 about a year ago - worth every penny! I was interested in getting a whole carrot cake ($29.00) but didn't want to spend that much for something I might not like so I bought a slice and have never looked back.

I've purchased several whole carrot cakes since then and still have 3 slices left from the most recent one. I talked with the folks at the bakery and the cakes come in frozen, then they are packaged for sale and can be re-frozen if necessary. Being a family of one, I can't eat a whole cake (nearly 5 pounds!) before it would go bad and I didn't want to buy one piece at a time so a whole cake it was.

The cake (among other bakery items) is excellent and I consider the price acceptable since there's a snooty bakery in the small town near me and their cakes start at $60.00!! So, $29.00 is a bargain!

Beyond that, Wegmans (in Charlottesville, VA) is quite popular and the store, associates and products are great. I consider it to be like Harris Teeter which also has stores in C'ville.

That is all.

The price includes a tariff for fat whores.

R13 makes Chrissie Metz look like Calista Flockhart during Ally McBeal.

R24 My little Icky GETS it. If you like cake, cakes are going for 60-100.00 + these days at good bakeries or on Goldbelly.

$26.00 is pretty damn good.

I'd like to try to bake that white cake but with a cream cheese frosting WITH vanilla specks.. I wonder if it would work?

I am guessing the ingredients would be around $8.00, but those vanilla beans would be a bitch to find.

Also, OP is still a Doodie Bubble Butt.

There's nothing like buying a whole cake, sticking your face in it and gorging all around it. Then pass out on the floor with it smeared all over your face in a sugar haze.

I only buy their Caprese salad, foccaccia bread and Frizzante sodas. I stopped buying their subs because even the price of a small was absurd. Their cold cuts are still top notch even though the prices have since more than doubled.

When Robert Wegman passed he handed the company directly over to his granddaughter Colleen. She may be a greedy bitch but it was a much better option than handing it over to his son/her father Danny. 80 year old Danny is/was well known for having a HUGE coke problem.

He has no official role in the company except that of a de facto mascot. He literally visits each store once a year or every other year. His appearance is rather tone deaf. He pulls up in a red custom Ferrari wearing expensive tacky and eccentric designer clothing and everyone fawns over him and gives him the red carpet treatment.

The store is basically the East Coast's poor man's version of Erewhon.

Donald Trump, is that you at r28?

It's called fat whore tax op, you wouldn't have had to pay it if your fat ass had not been seduced by it

It’s the price you pay for choosing not to be a complete fat whore and eat the whole cake

What is "cake"??

In my area, there's a small chain of family-owned local restaurants known for their 'traditional American dinners' (their turkey dinners are incredible) and their home-made desserts: pies, cakes, over-sized cupcakes, eclairs, apple strudels, etc.

One slice of cake ('Death By Chocolate', Heathbar Crunch Cake, White Layer Cake, etc.) are available whole (%35-40) or by the slice $8,99 - $10.99). Pre-pandemic, they were about $4.99 -$7.99).

Even more exciting when you're diabetic and don't just pass out on the floor, you slip into a coma.

OP. are you an inflation-hating Trump voter?

Jesus Christ, $6.50 is not that much for a nice piece of cake.

Perhaps you just don't have enough to do with your day.

Clearly you didn’t because you could have posted a photo of the piece of cake and not a photo from online

Their food is not that expensive. The quality and service is unmatched . I love they are within 5 minutes walk from my apt. And I get the sushi twice/week.

There aren’t that many Wegmans in the USA at all for there to be this many people claiming they live by one. That’s how you know it’s mostly one person posting

[quote]When they are on special , $1.99 or two slices for $3.00

Unsold and two hours away from being stale.

OP wants to be the gay with the most cake...

I wish I had a piece of that cake here right now... I love (and miss) Wegmans (and Rochester, this time of year!)

Lots of fat whores here.

Publix gives free cake during one's birthday month.

They'll keep charging $6.50 (or more) as long as you pay it.

I give two phat slices of white cake for $100 in Room 214 of the Piney Motel (in the back) off 17. Knock three times.

.

Well, yes. Yes they do. It’s 2025. That’s the price.

OP, you sound old.

This thread is making me crave cake.

R20, I'm an amazing baker. But at least for me it's a triage thing: Caring full-time for blind 97-year old Dad w/dementia, cooking avg 2-3 meals from scratch per day (yes, I often do cook large batches to freeze/refrigerate for later, but I don't always have space for storage), keeping house, caring for 3 chronically ill pets, yard/garden work, etc.

Sadly, in that situation baking comes last. I really miss stretching myself and playing around with cakes, pies, pastry, candy, but that's not where I am in my life.

R24 The Harris Teeter stores in Cville are awful. I’d trade them for Publix any day.

Now that Wegmans chocolate cake….damn damn DAMN

R4- XOXOXOXOXOXOXO. One of the good ones, you are.

Wegman's has been 'looking at locations' in RI for at least 20 years, and hasn't opened a store yet. They claim they haven't found the right spot yet.

Maybe it only "dates" in Europe r52

((HUGS)), R51, truly.

You have no idea how much I needed to see your post today. I'm pretty good at blooming where I'm planted, but sometimes it's really hard.

For you, R20, I'm going to try to carve out some time to make my Grandma's (born 1889) famous gingerbread with lemon sauce; I think Dad would enjoy the blast from his past. So thanks for the prod!

I live in the "wealthy" seacoast part of NH and we just got our first Whole Foods in the last 6-7 years?

Wegmans will never happen.

New Hampshire's retail scene has always been 20-25 years behind the times- Target, Whole Foods, you name it.

We have never had, and will never have anything like Nordstrom or Bloomingdales, much less any store higher end above those two.

We are the Arkansas of the north-

Wegmans sounds worth a trip to Burlington, Mass-

R54- I am no saint, I just called someone a "blind lesbo" here who haas horrible taste in men-

However, I have impeccable taste and try to remember my humanity.

You sound like a gem.

The best is yet to come for you. Entire cakes. Not slices.

R40 these fat whores consume these carb trash immediately & on the daily r40 . They don't know what stale mean

"I wanted the slice of cake."

And that's why they charge $6.50 for one slice of cake

Sometimes, you just want a slice of cake, not a whole one. I hate freezing cake and then thawing it later—it never tastes right after the freeze/thaw process. Since all the better supermarkets sell cake slices, I assume it's a lucrative business. The Wegman's chocolate cake is also good, but they overfrost cakes these days. I end up taking half the frosting off.

Just tonight I saw they’re opening a second Wegmans in Manhattan and I got so excited! It’s going where the old Bed Bath and Beyond was near Lincoln Square. I’m over there way more often than I am down around Astor Place where the first store went. I grew up surrounded by Wegmans in upstate NY and worked there in high school and it was a wonderful place to work so I’m definitely part of the cult. I remember Danny Wegmans annual visits to our store mentioned above, he was such a jacksss

OP is only a mild fat whore, though. We've had threads about people spending hundreds of dollars to get a 20 layer cake sent to them via GoldBelly.

2 summers ago, Wegmans admitted to a major blunder it made in 2018 and took care of it as quickly as it could.

The blunder: Opening their first (and only) multi- level mall store, in a former department store space at Natick Mall in Natick MA (just outside of Boston). At 134,000 square feet, it was one of the company’s largest locations.

The solution: It closed ( a rarity for a Wegmans) when its five year lease was up. The closure disrupted 365 employees (142 full-time and 223 part-time) at the Natick store, and all employees are being offered positions at other area Wegmans.

Brien MacKendrick, human resources director, Wegmans New England division, explained: “Unfortunately, with this non-traditional location we are unable to attract enough customers for our business model to work.”

Such moist CAK!

All of you gasping at the price of a piece of cake evidently don't live in/near Seattle.

You'll pay $6 for a shitty piece of cake at Safeway or Kroger around here. We have a Wegmans-ish type store here, Met Market, and they charge $8 for a piece of Texas Sheet Cake that wasn't house made.

That slice of cake would be $13 in a restaurant, OP.

^ At least, r65.

Wegman’s is weird. The artfully laid out section for the fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods, then Stalinist shelving and cinderblocks for everything else.

R50 - I only referenced Harris Teeter as my sister lived in Blacksburg and they had one there which she shopped at. When I'd go with her I noted the prices were rather high compared to most other grocery stores that I patronized in C'ville (pre-Wegmans). I rarely go there but do shop at Trader Joe's, Aldi, Sam's, Food Lion, Kroger and of course Wegmans. Each place has something I like that others don't so I rotate where/when I go.

To the general thread - the slice of carrot cake at Wegmans for $6.50 is a generous slice that could serve two people so the price is not out of line. I can get 10 slices out of one cake and they are plenty without wanting more. I use Rubbermaid Brilliance containers and wrap each slice in wax paper, then freeze for later, taking a slice out about an hour before eating and it tastes nearly as good as fresh and no freezer burn. The cream cheese icing is still rich and creamy (there is a LOT of it) and cake texture is still good.

I have yet to try their other cakes but carrot cake is my favorite - I have no doubt what I have yet to try in their bakery is as good as what I have tried.

Wegmans is more of an East Coast company - I've linked to a YT video for those so inclined.

Pie is superior to cake in all its forms, except carrot cake and cheesecake which isn't really cake.

Ohhhhhh pie!

Are you a great big fat person?

But I used to be able to get a whole Entenmanns cake for 4.99!!!!!!!

SHRIEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK

Wegmansh.

Wegman's, Like Publix, gets Soviet by the end of the week. You can chose from ONE.

Junk so lawn as the potatoe salad slays affordorable.

I live in an area where there's a Wegman's always within 10 minutes. Back when there were issues with supply chains during covid their prices when sky high, rather insultingly to their loyal patrons. They never came back down. Well, Wegman's is paying the price for their greed, as their parking lots aren't nearly as brimming with cars as they used to be. With an Aldi or a Walmart always nearby, and with lower prices, Wegman's won't recover from taking advantage of everyone's misfortune during Covid.

I look at it this way. $6.50 can be a bargain. I absolutely love that cake, like my favorite food in the world. The less expensive, the more I'll buy, the more of it I eat.

Which health-wise, is incredibly destructive. It would be really bad to eat an entire cake like that within a span of a week.

So you spend that seemingly high amount, you treat yourself to that glorious treat, and then buy a different flavor the following week. Try to be strict in between.

I’m purchasing one tomorrow at the Astor Place location thanks to you bitches. And it better be moist!

I was very drunk in Las Vegas a few months ago and got a piece of cake from one of The Cake Boss's vending machines. I think it was $10.

I got a rainbow layer cake slice because I am a good gay.

IN the moment, I thought it was pretty amazing. I put the rest of it in my minifridge and had some the next day.

It was TERRIBLE.

I guess I have no taste when I'm drinking.

I just checked the app. A slice is $1.63/oz ($6.50). A mini cake is $1.08/oz. ($14.00). Full cake is .68/oz ($26.00). Frugal whores, rejoice in abundance.

R79- I have heard those Boss Cake Slices are flavorless- All over TikTok/Youtube. lol

Sugarees down in Mississippi makes a good rainbow cake

R80, I told this doodie bubble butt to buy the full cake but all the fatsos here are so afraid of dying that they talked her out of it.

You are all fat anyway, Who wants to live?

The middle eastern restaurant near me sells a slice of pistachio cake for $9.50. It's not a fancy place. A chicken shwarma sandwich is $13 and it isn't skimpy.

Update-my slice of Wegmans white cake at the Astor Place location cost $7, not $6.50. Bastards.
