This is my go-to Safeway since it's very close to my last two homes. I think overall the prices at Safeway are likely higher (I have no scientific proof) but if you use your loyalty card, take advantage of the "Just for U" coupons and offers, and buy things on sale, you can get some pretty good deals. Without coupon clipping.
This location is pretty slow most of the time. I mean that in terms of customers in the store, not speed of the cashiers.
The guy in the produce department is always super friendly, and everyone else is helpful too.
Solid grocery shopping experience. No complaints. I'll be back!
