The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.

The dates are uniform in size and quality, perfectly dried, and very fresh and clean. They can be eaten directly or used in soups and sweet syrups. The flesh is thick and sweet, and the pits are small. This 5-pound bag is almost finished, so I bought more.
