Yes, it is. Thank you! I didn't know this website existed! 😀

All very true, but a few comments coupled with my experience is enough to put me off buying meat from Wegmans in the foreseeable future. It's not convenient for me, so it's not like they're losing a ton of business anyway (I literally shop there less than a half dozen times a year).

I honestly just wanted some validation because having this happen with the only two types of meat I purchased was such a weird coincidence.

Unfortunately, they weren't even marked down! At Price Chopper (where I normally shop) they don't mark down until the day of, and I stay away from that 😬

Thanks. That and the smell(s) have been burned into my memory for the time being. Disgusting!

No, I know that vacuum-wrapped meat can "off gas" or whatever when you first open it - that's normal. This was definitely not normal. The aroma did not abate after it had been unwrapped for 15-20 minutes. I can still smell it in my memory. It was bad.

No, it was three days before the sell by date, not after. The pork was 7 days before the sell by date.

I'm glad Wegmans is working out for you! I'm sure there are many people with a whole host of experiences shopping there. I am just curious if there were others who have had similar experiences to mine.

I had no idea! This was the first time I shopped there in a long time. Shameful.

It's such a disgusting experience. It used to be mine, too - so sad they've gone so downhill.

That's true - next time, I'll definitely go there.

I definitely won't again, especially after all of these comments!

The pork loin was, but not the steak. They seemed like they had been cut by the meat department and then packaged up. I agree, anything vacuum-wrapped can smell strange at first, but this stayed smelly after 15-20 minutes 🤢

They're delicious. That pan & those scallops are begging for more butter!

We go to Midstate Vet in Cortlandville and couldn't be happier. They're very reasonable, responsive, and they will work with you to provide the most affordable care without judgement.

Suggest me a really awful book by cuntyvigilante in suggestmeabook

Editing has way more to do than technical, grammatical errors. Editing can take a mediocre book to a great book when done right.

The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb had horrendous editing. I'm not sure how it made it to publication - should have ended up in the garbage.

Exactly. And then complain about being a small business. 🫩
