Yeah, Safeway has been shitty for a long time. I’m fortunate like you that we have a wealth of independent grocers and small ethnic markets that are so much better. They’re also a fair bit cheaper too.

The chain grocery store near us (Safeway) has had stupidly high prices since the pandemic. I decided I’m not going to shop there anymore unless I really have to. We are lucky to have a locally-owned, small chain grocery store very close to us. Prices are high but honestly not much if at all higher than Safeway and I’d rather pay a small premium to help them stay in business. Fuck Safeway and Albertsons.

It is a subsidiary of Albertsons after being acquired by private equity investors led by Cerberus Capital Management in January 2015.

That explains a lot. Private equity kills everything it touches.

i just went to safeway like last year, in like 10 years. and was surprised expensive things were, compared to even walgreens, WF and trader joes. even WG have some useful things at a sale sometimes, and some of thier generic products of hygeine products are cheaper than elsewhere.
