Grocery shopping in finger lakes region

Grocery shopping is something everybody is doing every day, and many are interested in local farmers production. These are good quality, definetly organic and fun to shop cabbages, eggs, redish, potatoes, pumpkins. Especially reddish, since in retailer shops the black reddish and white reddish are rear guests, and for those who has a strong habit for it (like Russians) it will be quite a problem to check many local farmers markets to buy some. Among the big retailers the best is Wegmans, followed by Tops and others. Actually due to great choice Wegmans is the most popular despite the higher price compare to Tops. Both have one more important advantage - they work overnight, this is especially good when I had have sleeplesness, I used to walk to the nearest shop at midnight and buy stuff. Couple of hours being spent walking and choosing and buying and bringing the grocery  back, the sleeplesness was over and morning was bright without any sleep problems. Compare to Wegmans in Tops the prices are lower and  cakes, juices, milk cartoons  are of different style (for example, in Tops I bought unsulted buttermilk that was possible to buy previously just in ShopRite near Atlantic City - for a person from Moscow unsalted buttermilk is really a great drink, as well as unsalted cottege cheese). But in Wegmans the real rye bread is present, with the quality outweighting the Moscow "black bread". This Kostenbrot is sold in huge loafs or in smaller size loafs and has an exellent taste. The rest of grocery shopping is similar in both Wegmans and Tops, but in the smaller retailer shops not all the variety is present.
