21 Must-Have Wegmans Items Every New Yorker Should Keep in Their Home

If your grocery list has ever gone out the window the second you stepped into a Wegmans, we feel you.

With glowing displays, carefully curated items, and a layout that makes you feel like you’re shopping inside a food magazine, it’s no wonder New Yorkers have such strong loyalties.

But beyond the pretty displays and soothing background music, Wegmans has some truly excellent products that regular shoppers swear by.

Here are the ones that, in our opinion, deserve a permanent home in your kitchen.

Chicken French Meal Kit

This is one of Wegmans’ best-kept secrets. The Chicken French Meal Kit lets you skip the prep and go straight to the flavor.

It comes with everything you need to make a restaurant-worthy dish at home—sauce, chicken, and instructions included. You just heat and serve.

The sauce is lemony, buttery, and rich, and the chicken is tender enough to fool guests into thinking you made it from scratch.

It’s a perfect “fake-it-‘til-you-make-it” dinner for busy weeknights or last-minute company.

Wegmans Store-Brand Greek Yogurt

This isn’t your typical watery yogurt cup. Wegmans’ store-brand Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and comes in a ton of flavors that taste more like dessert than breakfast.

It’s packed with protein and not overloaded with sugar, making it a smart choice for smoothies, snack time, or dolloped on top of fruit.

And because it’s their in-house brand, you usually get the quality of a premium name brand without the price tag.

The cherry and honey flavors are especially popular. But even the plain version is good enough to eat straight from the tub.

Wegmans Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies don’t mess around. They’re thick, gooey, and taste like they were baked five minutes ago—even if you snag them from the bakery case on a Monday evening.

Loaded with chunks of real chocolate, Wegmans’ Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies strike that perfect balance between chewy and crisp. They’re not your average store-bought cookie, and that’s why they’ve become a cult favorite.

Perfect with a glass of milk, a late-night snack, or tucked into a lunchbox, they’re the kind of treat you hide in the freezer so no one else gets to them.

If you haven’t tried them warm, pop one in the microwave for ten seconds.

Life-changing.

Wegmans Garlic Tuscan Bread

There’s something about the smell of Wegmans’ Garlic Tuscan Bread that makes your cart stop rolling.

It’s soft on the inside, golden on the outside, and filled with roasted garlic that adds a little kick to every bite.

Slice it up for a side to pasta, toast it for sandwiches, or tear off a chunk and dip it into olive oil like you’re dining in Italy. It’s comfort food disguised as artisan baking.

Many Wegmans regulars grab an extra loaf just to freeze for later. It’s that good—and that versatile.

Once you try it, regular sandwich bread just feels boring.

Wegmans Whipped Topping in the Dairy Section

You haven’t lived until you’ve topped your hot cocoa or pie with Wegmans’ whipped topping in the little tub. It’s light, fluffy, and somehow even better than the name-brand version.

It’s not overly sweet, and it doesn’t collapse into mush after five minutes—really!

Perfect for strawberry shortcake, banana pudding, or just sneaking a spoonful when no one’s looking.

And yes, it’s totally acceptable to keep one in your fridge at all times.

Wegmans Organic Baby Spinach

We’ll admit it—this isn’t the most exciting item in this article, but it might be the most practical. Wegmans’ organic baby spinach comes pre-washed, fresh, and in generous portions.

It’s perfect for tossing into smoothies, salads, omelets, or even pasta dishes when you want to pretend you’re making a “healthy choice.”

Unlike some store-brand greens, from our experience, this spinach stays fresh a little longer.

If you’re like us, it’s a staple you’ll reach for more than you expect.

Wegmans Shredded Rotisserie Chicken

This is one of those lifesavers that people don’t talk about enough. Instead of pulling apart a whole rotisserie chicken yourself, Wegmans does the work for you—and puts the meat in a container, ready to go.

You can use it for tacos, chicken salad, casseroles, soups, or a quick sandwich. It’s juicy, flavorful, and skips the greasy mess of tearing it apart yourself.

Busy week?

No problem. This chicken cuts dinner time in half.

You’ll wonder why you ever bothered doing it the old-fashioned way.

Wegmans Sparkling Italian Soda

This stuff feels fancy without being fussy. It comes in tall glass bottles with flavors like blood orange, peach, and lemon—each one refreshing and slightly sweet.

Pour it into a glass with ice and a slice of lime, and you’ve got a non-alcoholic drink that feels like something you’d get at a café.

Kids love it. Adults love it. Guests assume it’s imported.

It’s a small indulgence that makes a big difference during dinner parties, brunches, or just Tuesday afternoons.

Wegmans Cheese Shop Cheddar

Wegmans’ cheese section is legendary, but their sharp cheddar deserves special attention. It’s rich, creamy, and has that perfect bite that cheddar fans crave.

Slice it for sandwiches, cube it for snack boards, or melt it into mac and cheese that people will talk about for days.

It’s affordable, accessible, and totally addictive.

Some shoppers swear by the New York-style aged cheddar. And honestly, they’re not wrong.

It’s the kind of cheese you find excuses to eat.

Wegmans Rotini with Marinara Family Pack

Sometimes, simple is best. Wegmans’ pasta meals, especially the rotini with marinara, are the definition of comfort food.

It comes in a big tray, heats up beautifully, and tastes like something from your favorite Italian place. The sauce is rich and herby, and the pasta is never mushy.

It’s perfect for families, potlucks, or anyone who doesn’t feel like cooking on a weeknight.

And it’s way better than anything you’d find in the frozen section elsewhere.

Wegmans Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets

These salty-sweet little snacks are dangerously addictive. Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, they’re the kind of thing you grab “just a few” of—and then suddenly the bag’s empty.

They’re great for road trips, office drawers, and movie nights. Some people even toss them into trail mix or use them to top ice cream.

There’s just something about the peanut butter and pretzel combo that never gets old.

We’re warning you now: One bag is never enough.

Wegmans Fresh-Cut Fruit Bowls

Let’s face it—sometimes chopping fruit feels like too much work. That’s why Wegmans’ fresh-cut fruit bowls are a gift from the grocery gods.

They’re filled with juicy melon, pineapple, grapes, and berries, all pre-cut and packed into clear tubs you can grab and go.

Perfect for breakfasts, kids’ lunches, or last-minute guests who need “something healthy.”

And somehow, the fruit always tastes like it was cut five minutes ago. Just be prepared—these fruit bowls aren’t cheap.

Wegmans Everything Bagel Seasoning

You don’t need to wait for breakfast to enjoy this seasoning blend. It goes on avocado toast, scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, and even popcorn.

Wegmans’ version is just as good as the viral brands, and often a little cheaper. It’s a pantry staple for people who want bold flavor with zero effort.

Sprinkle it on cream cheese. Toss it with potatoes. Add it to salad dressing.

Once you have a jar, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Wegmans Oven-Baked Turkey Breast

This deli meat isn’t your average lunchbox filler. It’s tender, juicy, and tastes more like Thanksgiving leftovers than supermarket slices.

Great for sandwiches, wraps, and even charcuterie boards, it’s made without weird fillers or preservatives.

And because it’s sliced fresh in the deli, you can get just the amount you need.

One bite and you’ll understand why people keep coming back for more.

Wegmans Sea Salt Pita Chips

These crunchy chips are thick enough to hold up to hummus, salsa, or guacamole—and they’ve got the perfect touch of sea salt.

They’re sturdier than most bagged chips and have a hearty texture that makes them feel more like a real snack than an afterthought.

Pair them with Wegmans’ lemon hummus for a snack that disappears in minutes.

They’re the MVP of any gathering, planned or not.

Wegmans Organic Milk

It might not sound exciting, but Wegmans’ organic milk is a go-to for anyone who wants quality without the high price tag.

It stays fresh longer, feels creamy on the tongue, and works great in everything from cereal to sauces.

And because it’s a Wegmans brand, you’re getting that solid middle ground of value and quality.

Wegmans Frozen Mango Chunks

These frozen mango chunks are like little cubes of sunshine. They’re sweet, perfectly ripened, and ready to toss into smoothies, yogurt bowls, or even heat up for dessert.

Unlike some frozen fruits, these don’t get too mushy when thawed. They actually hold their texture and flavor.

We recommend keeping a bag in your freezer at all times. You won’t regret it.

Wegmans Italian Classics Marinara Sauce

You can taste the difference. This jarred sauce doesn’t taste like something scooped out of a can—it tastes like it simmered on someone’s stovetop all day.

It’s part of Wegmans’ Italian Classics line, and it pairs beautifully with any pasta, meatballs, or even as a dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks.

It’s rich, herby, and the kind of thing you always want to have a jar of just in case.

One jar can save dinner.

Wegmans Lemon Bars

These bakery treats are bright, tangy, and topped with a soft dusting of powdered sugar. The crust is buttery. The filling is smooth. And they taste like summer in every bite.

Keep them on hand for parties, potlucks, or just to treat yourself after a long day.

They’re so good, they often sell out before the weekend.

One square turns into three—don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Wegmans Paper Napkins and Towels

Let’s not overlook the household aisle. Wegmans’ paper products—especially napkins and paper towels—are sturdy, absorbent, and often cheaper than national brands.

They don’t rip when you sneeze or dissolve the moment they hit a spill.

If you’re already shopping there, it makes sense to pick up your paper goods too. Best of all?

They usually come in big packs that last longer than you expect.

Practical, reliable, and surprisingly high-quality.

Wegmans Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

You can taste the difference from the first sip. Wegmans’ fresh-squeezed orange juice doesn’t taste processed or flat—it tastes like you squeezed it yourself.
