I agree. I make Spiedies every summer at home by cubing pork or lamb (lamb is the original recipe and my favorite) and marinating them in Good Seasons Italian dressing, the stuff you mix up from a packet with your own vinegar and oil. I've tried bottled Italian dressing, and it's not as good for marinating Spiedies as the Good Seasons that you mix up yourself. I can't get State Fair Spiedie marinade in my home town grocery stores. If I could, I'd definitely buy it. You are lucky to have a Wegmans. What a great store. I may stop into a Wegmans just to peruse the local fare and pick up some bottles of Spiedie marinade.
I also miss Grandma Brown's Baked Beans. They come out of the can like paste. You have to doctor them up with ketchup, mustard, onions and molasses or brown sugar and then bake them. But once that's done, they are terrific. Especially with Spiedies. While I'm at Wegmans, I'll pick up some cans of Grandma Brown's Baked Beans as well.
