Trying to find the right supermarket
Let me start by admitting that I'm spoiled. I've been shopping Wegmans for the last four years and Wegmans, at least the one in Virginia, is a great supermarket with alot of choice, including alot of organic stuff. It spans in between the regular Safeway type supermarkets and the Whole Foods sort of places. It's a great place to go shopping regularly.
But now we've moved to Reston and Wegmans is a bit of a longer drive away. Not so out of the way that I can never go to it, but out of the way enough that it's a whole lot less convenient and I want a closer supermarket to go do my weekly shopping at.
Therein lies my problem.
The closest supermarket is Safeway at South Lakes Plaza. We went there two Sundays ago to go shopping. It's not bad, but a little small. It has alot of the things we want/need, but the selection is a little sparse in some areas, like Clif/Luna bars, so we thought we'd try again this week someplace else.
This week, at someone's suggestion, I tried Harris Teeter. I was not impressed. Selection was worse than at Safeway and the prices weren't all that impressive either. :/
Next week, I guess I'll take a stab at going to the local Giant. If it doesn't pan out.. well, I guess I'm running low on options.

It's something we've discussed -- getting our regular groceries somewhere closer to us, and monthly trips to Wegmans for the stuff we can't get elsewhere. We might want to look into the Dulles Wegmans, too; it's about 20 minutes/10 miles away, which according to Google Maps is slightly closer than Wegmans Fairfax.
