Safeway Reviews

Living in a rural area, we do not have many large supermarkets.... my nearest is Safeway (8 miles) with a Tesco about 20 miles away. I have always shopped at Safeways and been more than happy - until they started the cheap petrol offers. Basically, if you spend £40 in store,you get 10p/litre off petrol. Great, where's the catch? Well, ...  Read the complete review

As someone who's only ever shopped at the King's Mall, Hammersmith branch of Safeway (where Crimewatch's Jill Dando was last seen alive), my opinion is obviously a bit biased, but atleast you'll be glad to know that it's good, just under brilliant! The only thing I don't like, which I'll clarify first, ...  Read the complete review

Safeway was always in the Second Division of Supermarket Chains, always behind the Big 3 of Tesco Sainsbury and Asda. I always associated it with old people and out of touch with the modern shopper and always behind competition in taste and price. Recently however, since the abolishment of the ABC points system and the introduction of Creche ...  Read the complete review

In reality all supermarkets are much the same. Some things cost more, some less, but overall they average out. The thing that makes Safeway stand out is that they let you scan products yourself. When you enter the store put your ABC card into a machine and pick up a hand scanner. Then whenever you put something into your basket or ...  Read the complete review

I have shopped in Safeways regularly for a few months now. I always shop thereas I regularly use their shop and go scanners when I am doing my shopping I likeSafeway because I always find there is plenty of space in the aisles for your trolley andis not as cramped as other supermarkets. They also have offers on every week which ...  Read the complete review

This is apparently the most expensive Safeway in the country. It must also be one of the busiest as well, due to the high population of students living in the area as well as it being in the West End of Glasgow. It is also very small and can become extremely crowded. It never has enough stock and is always running out of bread. Not ...  Read the complete review

" I have little choice but to use my local safeway store as I do not have a car and do not relish carrying a week's shopping on public transport,When I do use the store I am underwhelmed by the total apathy of the management towards consumers, It would appear to me that they have the opinion of "Well we have you in the store and ...  Read the complete review

I get my weekly shopping in my local Safeway store, or should I say stores. Within the Safeway shopping area is a dry cleaners with a photographic film developing facility within it. There is a Post Office within the store, and a fresh butchers department, which allows you to order the precise quantity or cut of meat you require. There is also ...  Read the complete review

Safeway is a very good supermarket. They recently stopped their AddedBonusCard, and plouged all the money they saved from giving out loyalty points, (which were only worth 1p for every £1 spent) into price cuts on the most popular everyday items in stores. Since this, their profits and popularity has gone up tremendously, so this proves the ...  Read the complete review

This is getting to be a habit! I still do my main shopping at Morrisons - I've always avoided Safeway, thinking that it's too expensive and up-market for the likes of your's truly - but I'm beginning to think that I might just have to visit Safeway a little more often! This week (starting Wed 19th to Tuesday ...  Read the complete review

In exchange for cancelling the ABC card Safeway is now promoting price buster lines each week with some superb offers which only last a week and of course are 'subject to availability'. I have had some good bargains Pringles 59p, 6 pack walkers crisps 49p. Only thing is I made a special trip there the other week following a leaflet drop ...  Read the complete review

Shopping in Safeway is hobsons choice for us - it is the only one of the big supermarkets within about a 40 mile radius of where we live! I still remember what a relief it was when we first got it about 5 years ago! It does have some brilliant features to be fair. The shop and go is wonderful, not having to unpack and repack your shopping at ...  Read the complete review

Living in Durham, with no car, I really have no choice but to shop at Safeway or Iceland. Seeing as Safeway is bigger, this is where I shop. I do like it, but I have a feeling some things are maybe not as cheap as they would be if I shopped at a big out-of-town supermarket. Given that this store is located in such a student populated ...  Read the complete review

Well, well, well, as an impoverished student I would say that the trade off between price and quality has never really mattered. I mean, we always buy the cheapest offer. But now with Safeway doing their amazing offers each week, I can eat well, and save money. How nice. You get warned about the offers in advance with a leaflet ...  Read the complete review

We are lucky enough to have two safeways in this area, Cleveleys is the larger of the two, while the St Annes branch is maybe half the size or a little less. The Cleveleys branch is about 8 years old and still looks much the same as it did when it opened - not a bad thing, I find it is very well set out and easy to find your way around. ...  Read the complete review

I have been frequenting Safeway for years but recently I found that things in Safeway are getting more and more expensive. I can't seem to find a lot of promotions and most of the food stuff are indeed more pricey compared to other supermarkets like Tesco or Asda. One clear example is the vegetable section: an iceberg costs around ...  Read the complete review

over the last few months Safeways have been doing lots of cut price bargains , some of which are very good just wish it was more than 3 per customer. Our local safeways has a good creche which my 2 yr old loves to go to , he dislikes leaving it and has had temper tantrums when going back to car because he didnt want to leave the creche,the only ...  Read the complete review

Safeways has always been the supermarket I have been to, I remember sitting in the trolly screaming at my mum and begging for a harveys rusk. I'm a bit more grown up now, and I've just come back from uni for the summer and have been back to lovely old safeways after being a Sainsbury's man at uni. Enough of all this... They have ...  Read the complete review

Thanks for the bargain Safeway tips! With weather like this, I'm not surprised that all BBQ food and chracoal has to be sold off. I enjoy Safeway bargains but do find that some foods are quite expensive. I also enjoy their range of wines and spirits which is always a good aisle to hunt for a bit of a bargain tipple ot two. Safeway ...  Read the complete review

Supermarkets own brand coffee used to be terrible, but has improved much over the years. Personally, I hate strong coffee and I find that the likes of Nescafe and Maxwell House taste too strong however little you put in the cup. I've tried loads of different brands in the past and the cheap ones were usually the worst. But I've ...  Read the complete review
