    This store was a lifesaver as it opens early in the morning when other food places are still closed. It’s quite spacious and well-stocked with essentials, including a flower department and an in-store Starbucks. They have a good selection of fresh bread, pastries, and ready-to-eat meals. Great one-stop shop

    Check your receipts. This place is famous for incorrect and over charging. I haven't shopped at our local Safeway for other than flowers for a very long time.....prices being one of the reasons, but I dashed in for a second the other day, since all my errands were nearby. And then I remembered the other reason I haven't shopped Safeway. I bought some tealights that were marked 75% off. Instead, they gave me only 25% off. It was a $12.00 error. I got my refund, but it's happened enough throughout the years to make me wonder and not shop there..having to go back for a refund is inconvenient and a little shifty. So once again I caution the consumer to check your receipts ESPECIALLY on sale items. Goods are high enough as it is.
