Safeway

"This review goes towards the deli department. I would give negative stars if it were possible. I’m the only customer and I see 4 deli department workers. 2 are having a lengthy chitchat the others were doing something behind a wall with openings so they were able to see me standing there. Since this has happened to me on multiple occasions I set my timer and after 5 min with none of them asking me if they could help me I finally walked off. I don’t know why I even tried. I’ve seen other customers stand there getting frustrated as well. Management has to change something in that department or you’ll be loosing more and more customers like me today for example that has been spending my money there for over 10 years. Thank god Target is right around the corner"

"Safeway was always my place to go shopping for all food products, healthy foods, house, kitchen ware, hair products. Most Safeways have a customer booth and I think most have some sort of banking, all have ATM' s and thank God one of the few that packages and rings up your items. I am sorry to say that it is not my 1st place store to go to for shopping due to the price increases throughout the years. If you are on a small monthly budget it is not really a good place to do all your food shopping. I do love their $5 dollar Fridays but think they should have more options with that. I do still run in for specialized items I love from their stores. Especially when it comes to holidays. I know they all have their own florist section next to the cakes and pies so you could even make a complete party for any occasion shopping in Safeway. You will pay a higher price but if it's a one place go to for parties supplies then hi there instead of having to run around to many different places to get the complete package. The store is also very clean compared to other food shopping establishments I've been too. It can be crowded especially on Fridays and football season for snacks and sport patties. Aloha"

"Safeway has good specials and rewards; you can get good meat prices, although prices are creeping up. Your sodas at B2G2 is a big drawer. There are, however two areas that need improvement. One is your meat department. Not nice at all, very unfriendly. I asked for ribs on special and the rude butcher gave me a piece with 3 inches of fat!! I didn't buy it. Continue on 2nd review."

"Safeway always have specials on Fridays called $5 Fridays! Of course you would have to go early since most items are limited. We love their $5 strawberry cake. It's usually sold for $14.99. So this is such a good deal! The cake is so moist, airy and light topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, some fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce. Another popular $5 Friday deal is their deep fried chicken. Eight large pieces! So tasty and crunchy! Each week have different deals!"

"$$$$ Among the most expensive grocery stores on-island. No, I don't want to shop on special days or play your Monopoly lottery game in order to score a decent deal. Prefer Foodland down the road or Even Whole Foods in Kailua."
