Safeway Reviews

This began as a comment on the recent “Safeway” opinion of fellow dooyooer, jennifer3002, but once my comment reached the length of a “short op,” I thought it more sensible to “post that opinion”… So I have. I didn’t think I did this kind of opinion… However, ...  Read the complete review

Everything you want from a store and a little bit more? No not in my opinion. I have the advantage of having several supermarkets close to where I live such as Asda, Somerfield and Kwiksave and Safeway are the most expensive of them all. I do the bulk of my shopping at asda simply for the prices and variety not for the location as it is ...  Read the complete review

Once a week, commencing on a Wednesday, Safeway issues an offers leaflet. This is a way of saving pounds and pounds, by enabling you to buy items at greatly reduced prices throughout the store. ***UPDATE** As from Wednesday 22nd August 2001 the free leaflet is easier to read. It is split into sections: Fresh produce Less than ...  Read the complete review

Safeway is an excellent supermarket, one that deserves a lot of credit - taking a great deal of market share away from Sainsburys and Tesco, although still number 3 out of the top stores. I have a safeway near me and shop there occasionally now, much more than before - but Safeway seem to have some really good discounts and offers that tesco ...  Read the complete review

I can understand why some people would rate my store at five stars. I, personally, am usually very good with my customers. I adhere strictly to the Trading Standards Act, I regularly discount slightly defective products (like dented tins), eggs always go checked, bottles of milk are checked for leaks, light bulbs filaments are inspected (next ...  Read the complete review

There are many good things to say about Safeway, unfortunately the one bad things completely overrules all of these good things. That bad thing is prices. Compared to other supermarkets I think that Safeway is expensive, very expensive. You can get a lot more for you money in Asda anyway! Apart from the high prices, they do have very ...  Read the complete review

As a current employee of this supermarket chain, I'd advise you not to shop here! Hell, if they find out who it is writing this, then they may sack me - oops (maybe that isnt such a bad thing! Anyhoo..... Not only are the prices more expensive than our competition - TESCO, but our service is awful aswell! As I heard a customer said ...  Read the complete review

My local Safeway has proved to be a godsend to me. Recovering from a car accident, unable to lift, bend, stretch and sometimes manage a trolley, I ventured to Safeway's. Why you may ask. I was told my local store was going to be the first in the Country to offer Shop and Go. This was the first time I had tried shopping on my own in ...  Read the complete review

I have just visited my local branch of Safeway and it has prompted me to write an opinion. What a lovely store it is. The layout is great with nice wide isles and the shelves are always well stocked, they have just about everything you could think of in that store, including, lots of Organic food stuffs which my son is slowly getting me ...  Read the complete review

Although a lovely large store - I have found Safeway’s in the past few months to be over rated and did not come up to scratch in my eyes. When looking for simple everyday things I had to search like mad to find them that are if they even stocked them. Just yesterday I was looking for super noodles and hey guess what they no longer ...  Read the complete review

I have a lot of experience of supermarkets. Safeway is not the best supermarket by far but is well worth a look. Fruit and Vegetables - Unfortunately, fruit and veg was one of the main areas which let Safeway down. The food from the produce department was never of a very high standard and usually went off pretty quickly. However, ...  Read the complete review

For a long time now i have been receiving adverts from Safeway every week through the post informing me about their latest offers. They are very eye-catching and sometimes included is a competition in order to attract you into the store, i doubt it is genuine though. The offers are generally very good, for example their own brand bleach was 39p ...  Read the complete review

Well I think they have made it up. The 'award' that is. Who in their right mind would give this poor excuse for a supermarket an award like that!!! Ok, sorry I'll calm down now and discuss Safeway. My local Safeway store was purpose built on a new development called Great Park in Rubery, Birmingham. It was built ...  Read the complete review

I have only visited this store about five times in my life as our so called 'local' store happens to be about 10 miles away, which is really far for me because I don't have a car and because of my inferior laziness. Therefore when I visit one of these stores with my mother, who is just like the lady off the Tesco advert it continues ...  Read the complete review

I like my trips to the local Safeway. It is always a pleasure to visit the local store and I enjoy hunting down the bargains. The store is well laid out, the in-house bakery produces some great treats, the parking is ample and the provisions for families and disabled is very good. I particularly like the shop and Go system. The ...  Read the complete review

Yes, thats right, the safeway which we visit (Eastwood, Derbyshire), actually won 'Best Supermarket of the year' last year, and I can certanly see why. To start with they have a brilliant range of trollies, one to suit every shopping need. Normal ones, ones with 1 or 2 kiddie seats with belt straps to secure your little one in, ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn’t normally write an op. on something like Ice cream, especially one this specific. But every now and then something comes up that you just HAVE to tell people about. In this case it is indeed a flavoured frozen dairy product, and I thought I might try and have a pop at a food review. Of course, there is nowhere to put this op ...  Read the complete review

Having read several opinions that 'dis' the Safeway 'Shop and Go' scheme I felt that I had to add my opinion to the ranks. This system is great, no reservations on my part at all. Put simply you scan your goods put them in the box and at the till you don't have to unload your shopping but hna d over the slip for the cashier to ...  Read the complete review

Well, our local Safeway is closed for 3 weeks and I'm beginning to appreciate what we had now that it's gone. We still have an Iceland, but there's just so many things you can get at Safeway that you can't elsewhere. Sure they've laid on a shuttle-bus service to the nearest other branch, but it'd take us too long to go ...  Read the complete review

Safeway is the fourth largest supermarket chain in the UK, with 8% of the market share. I have been shopping at Safeway for 2 years now and have never had a probelm with them. I find that their staff are lovely people and their stock is always fresh and plentiful. I find the most attractive thing about them is there weekly ...  Read the complete review
