Well, if they are willing to, then I'm certainly not seeing it. Wegmans prepared foods are insanely expensive. Like $12 for a cold chicken parm with some green beans. The price seems to go up a $1 every 6 months. The quality also isn't great. I haven't looked at their prepared kits, but just a bag of chopped up fruit is like 4x the price of just buying the fruit and cutting it yourself.

Prices are about 10% higher than picking up those ingredients by themselves. Right now it is "pick up X", "pick up Y". Overpay by 10% or so. Currently they have about $10 worth of margin (currently 80% to 100%) on this before they are hitting price points of intro period of meal kit companies (nearly $20-$30 post intro). If they spend $3 of that margin on little things ( soy sauce, tahini paste, miso, oyster sauce, sprouts ) that are just for that meal they recreate meal kit cheaper, faster, fresher and most importantly from an already existing infrastructure that is designed to operate successfully on 5-10% margins.
