Advantages: It's closest to my house, Good offers

Disadvantages: VERY EXPENSIVE

I have to shop at Safeway as I don't drive and it's less than a 10 minute walk from my house but be assured I wouldn't if I had a choice. Why? Because they are so overpriced it is unbelievable.

I sometimes get to shop at Sainsbury's if my husband takes me in the car on a weekend, and price comparisions are laughable.

Safeway charge 75p for the bread I buy whereas Sainsbury charge 69p.

Safeways peppers are 10p more expensive

The new snack-a-jack snacks and Uncle Bens Rispinos are also overpriced in Safeway by about 5-8p a bag. I could go on and on and on.....

Their only saving grace is that when they have offer they have good offers. Four Fresh Chicken Breasts for £2.99 is great and I often stock up and fill the freezer with them!!!

Overall though I don't feel that their special offers make up for the huge inflated prices. It makes me sick when I realise how much I am overpaying compared to someone who shops at say Asda or Tesco.

Watchdog recently did a survey and found the cheapest supermarket to be Asda followed by Tesco then Sainsbury's then Safeway as the most expensive.

BEWARE THE PRICES!!!!!!!!

That is so frustrating - I have a Sainsburys round the corner from my house so I shop there, but I hate it. It is always crowded and they often run out of basic items! The problem with these big supermarkets is that they have a captive market of people who live nearby with no transport so they have little impetus to change their pricing or service!

We have just done our weekly shop with Tescos rather than Sainsburys, it was about £1o cheaper so there are big price differences out there.

Enjoy the site it is a great place to share experiences.
