“costco without a membership. may not have everything you need, but most definitely some main stays and the cheapest for your bulk foods: beans, rice, flour, oats, many good surprises as well with a decent prepared food section. veggies to fruit.”
“Always went to don asados next door but never noticed this place was also a grocery store. Very small store and pretty cramped aisles, but weirdly enough adds to the whole vibe of the store. Pretty interesting variety of goods there was everything from meats, salsa, all kinds of snacks and ice cream sauces, breads ready to go to dessert, beers, and a lot of cool drinks. The cashier was very friendly also. I will probably be stopping here every time I go to Don Asados in the future just to explore and also grab some nice treats.”
“Clean store. Wide aisles. Good selection. A lot of discounts if you have the free membership. Some items on sale or with coupon require a minimum. Some discounts have limits on how many you can buy. Check your receipt before you leave to make sure the discounts were applied. Some are applied as each item is scanned, other are applied at the end.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A Glorious Grocery Odyssey: My Review of Safeway”
Let’s take a journey, shall we?
The year is 1915. World War I is raging, silent films are all the rage, and a visionary named M.B. Skaggs buys his father’s tiny Idaho grocery store with a dream: to offer fair prices and “a safe way” to shop. Thus, the seeds of the Safeway empire are planted in potato-stained soil.
By 1926, the company’s name officially becomes Safeway, because it allowed customers to pay with cash instead of credit — which back then was a financial trapdoor for families. M.B. was basically the Dave Ramsey of the Great Depression, but with more canned peaches.
Over the decades, Safeway grew faster than a teenager left alone with a pizza. Mergers, acquisitions, corporate drama… At one point, they were in Australia, Canada, and the UK. It was like the Marvel Cinematic Universe of mayonnaise and deli meats.
Fast-forward to today:
Safeway is now owned by Albertsons, which is owned by Cerberus Capital, which might be owned by a hedge fund run by an evil spreadsheet with a soul patch. Whatever. They still got deals.
Now let’s talk about the actual shopping experience.
The produce section? Glorious. Like a farmer’s market had a baby with a lighting designer. I’ve seen avocados here that made me weep. The floral department smells like a prom night prayer. The bakery? Don’t even get me started. Their donuts flirt with you from across the aisle like, “Hey, big spender. You up?”
Employees are a mixed bag of saints, seasonal hires, and caffeine-fueled shelf ninjas. One guy gave me a sample of cheese that changed my worldview. Another accidentally called me “mom,” and honestly, it felt right.
Self-checkout? It’s a gamble. You either glide through like a tech-savvy god or get stuck in a beep-loop from hell while Karen behind you breathes louder than a leaf blower.
Prices? Reasonable if you’re armed with a Safeway Club Card, a coupon, a digital app, your astrological chart, and maybe a seance. Without all that? You’re paying $6.99 for cereal like it’s 1994 again.
In conclusion:
Safeway has come a long way from its humble Idaho roots. It’s a place where you can buy broccoli, a birthday balloon, and existential dread all in one fluorescent-lit aisle.
Would I return?
Absolutely.
Would I recommend it?
Only to those brave enough to walk among the rotisserie chickens and feel something. ?✨”
