Because of affects of the government shutdown, Wegmans is reducing prices for some of its food items through March 2.

In an emailed statement, Wegmans Chairman Danny Wegman said:

“One of our local United Way partners let us know there are people still dealing with the consequences of the recent government shutdown. They asked if we could help. In particular, they called out the fact that February SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits were paid in advance, and that this timing created a challenge in February for some recipients. Making a difference in every community we serve is one of our core values to ensure a healthy and vibrant place for our employees and customers to live and work. The most direct way for us to help is by lowering prices for all customers beginning Saturday, February 16 through Saturday, March 2 on the items that will make nutritious meals at a truly affordable cost.”

Here are the food items and prices:
