Yep. It's a whole other world there now.
The current "partners" deserve better.

There will be a Greater Goods Holiday Market at R.House in Remington on Sunday, December 11th from 11 am to 4 pm. There's usually a bunch of local artist vendors there who might have what you're looking for, as well!

20 years ago???
Sir/Ma’am, 20 years ago, you had to go in, wait in line, have your order made, and you went about your business. You didn’t have an app or 2 (cause you didn’t have a smartphone) to receive orders from on top of the physical line in front of you and the drive through going around the block. And it’s not just a Starbucks problem. It’s a problem with fast food in general now.

Also you have to hike out to the suburbs to shop there.
Wegman's at least is near the Light Rail in Hunt Valley

Right, I do not deal with 295 unless there is literally no other option.

I am glad they disnt include any hypermarkets. Everyone doesn't have space in their homes for the humongous sizes Costco carries.

Oh perfect, thank you so much! Looks like they don't have his size in the Rat Czar shirt, but I'll just order him something oversized in case AVAM doesn't have what I'm looking for haha

Hi - thank you so much for this offer! I'm going to try and check AVAM first since I'm in the area but will let you know if I don't find anything!

That’s actually expensive in terms of bribes.
Look at congress bribery: it’s usually corporations giving them hundreds of thousands and receiving billions in return

Awesome. It’s a shame the Bel Loc location just got shut down under false pretenses at the sniff of unionization. I hope these locations get what they need to survive.

I only go there if I'm looking for a specific cheese or some odd ball item, otherwise its just way too pricy. Never been to a Wegmans but Ill have to seek one out based on what you said.

I have the opposite experience with Wegmans - I find most of their prices -especially on meat- to be pretty reasonable, but their store brand stuff to be mediocre at best. I can still get chicken for < $2.50/lb. Pork might be $2.50-3/lb. Beef is higher, but I can still get some cuts for < $7/lb. Seafood is expensive, but that's true everywhere.
The store brand cereal and hummus are fine (and store brand is nearly all they have for hummus), but the store brand condiments are all worthless. Store brand bread and rolls are cheap but lousy. The bakery section sucks. Their frozen seafood has been kind of gross lately. The whole cheese section looks impressive, but I've tried several of their expensive store brand cheese and they've all been bland. If I'm going to drop $25/lb on cheese, I'll just go to The Wine Source.

What if you take the money you would save on food and instead purchase a more fuel efficient (or EV) car? Or donate to a cause that's trying to go after the big polluters? Saving a substantial amount of money can definitely open up other avenues to make a larger impact.

They were included. They're just so expensive you probably didn't scroll far enough to see them.

My problem is that the selection is very, very limited, produce and meat is so so at best, and a lot of their products are preprocessed foods I have no interest in.

Yes, you are correct!

This is the answer, but there’s a far easier number to memorize.
“#77”
That number, on any “State-owned primary roadways in Maryland” will contact an MDOT dispatcher who will send out help to your location.
They’re absolutely lovely, and made my tire getting destroyed by a pothole not the worst. :)
edited to add: for free. The attempt to reinflate my tire and put on a spare was 100% free.

I think the term is "inverse relationship".

True. I guess OP should realize the point that those two are mutually exclusive criteria to a degree.
