| - This review is for 06/11/2011. After being over at Coach House, I decided to do something I did back in Los Angeles, just grab a cold bite to eat. Why get Subway, when I can find a sandwich at a local grocery store. I usually go to Ralph's, but being in Arizona, I had no idea what grocery chain dominated the area. I found the parent company of Vons, Safeway.
Safeway is on a big lot and its like most major grocery chains. It is pretty big inside, but I didn't get too explore too much of it. I did see a couple people in suits. It was 100+ degrees and you are wearing a suit on a Sat? Well, I think I will have to get used to it. I walked over to the deli side and got myself: a Ham & Cheese Sandwich ($3.49) and Potato Salad ($2.99).
As I walked to the checkout, I wondered if Safeway accepts Vons card, but I was a little skeptical because of the network. The female cashier knew I wasn't from around Phoenix and asked if I wanted to signup for a card. I said, "No". She asked what area I was from and she said, "You have a Vons Card?" Heck Yeah, So, I saved $0.20 cents off my potato salad and $0.50 off my sandwich. My total was $6.12.
This was my last item in Phoenix that I bought and I hope to be coming back soon. I have visited stores not familiar too me and it still felt like home. I guess you can never be too far away from home if you have stores that sell similar items. Well, I felt this was my new home even if it was for a day.
