Probably one of the more expensive places in town to get groceries. I smelled mold/mildew (?!?!?!) in two different places last time I visited.
Other cons:
-No handbaskets!!
-blueberries were placed in an area where a coupon was advertised for berries... That weren't blueberries. Ended up being like 5 dollars for a tiny pack of blueberries because the coupon didn't work for them. My bad, but still.. Horrible, confusing placement.
They started locking up the ice cream pints. I decided not to buy a pint because of this.
Did I mention no hand baskets?
I used to love shopping at Safeway, but it seems like since they started gouging their prices, everything has gone downhill. Hate to say it, but Walmart is a marginally better choice in this one. At least I'm not paying an arm and a leg to get shafted there.
Super friendly. Good selection. Great deli. Pharmacy has some problems. Very long waits and inaccurate counts.
You have to really pay attention at checkout. A lot of advertised sales are digital and will not come off If you haven't clicked the coupon on the app. And even then in my experience Safeway this is one of the worst for the checkout not to reflect advertised prices properly. I would have been out $50 just yesterday. If I wasn't paying attention at checkout, the cereal did not come up as sale price and we bought a bunch.
The produce is still really good. One of the better selections and quality in town.
The deli cheap chicken Monday is still a winner. Aberdeen does ok. The best is the Silver lake WA Safeway for chicken! I've tried at least 20 different locations. Some are definitely better than others.
