Wegmans Raises Price Of Some Takeout Meals

Wegmans Food Markets has raised the price of some of its popular $6 takeout meals to $8, citing higher ingredient and labor costs.

Most of the $6 meals, which were introduced at Wegmans stores in 2009, remain at that price, company spokeswoman Jo Natale said Monday. Each of the meals includes an entrée and two side dishes.

But for five of the meals, the price was increased last week to $8.

The higher-priced entrées are chicken Parmesan (a side of pasta has been added to two vegetable sides); Italian breaded pork chop (also adding pasta to two vegetable sides); chicken Marsala; fried chicken; and meatloaf.
