Safeway's current push

Re: Safeway's current push

Sorry, I guess I just assume that people have to buy groceries so therefore they go to the grocery store - whether Safeway, Wal-Mart, Costco or Sam's Club. Or to the commisary. Even a Farmer's Market is a form of grocery store.

and of course Safeway allows for other sale purchases. The program is meant to benefit shoppers, not curtail them.

Re: Safeway's current push

Maybe I should have said 'on-line selections'. But if they allow you to buy other sale stuff at the store then that's cool.
I don't market shop much at all, and my one daily item isn't part of the items marked for this, but it's always on sale anyway.

Re: Safeway's current push

Ron - they are not offering "on-line purchasing". The program gives one the opportunity to go on-line, put together a shopping list that adds the savings to the club card. Those savings show up when you actually pay at the register. I had chosen 4 items, only purchased 3 of them so I still have one deal left on my card if i decide to buy the item later. Also, its much easier to get coupon savings since i don't subcribe to the sunday paper.

I liked the program and will definitely use it when I plan to shop at Safeway. It took me about 5 minutes to add the items to my card and it was a considerable savings for me on items I was going to buy anyway.

oh, and I still had room for a couple of "impulse" buys

Re: Safeway's current push

I'd like it better if they would automatically load my card with all the coupons instead of me having to go online and select them. I know myself. I'll be in Safeway, thinking, Dang, I shoulda selected strawberries... or ice cream... or whatever. I think I'll just click on almost everything, just in case.

Seems they're losing big $ by limiting purchases made only on-line/before entering, whacks out potential sales via forgetfulness and the ever-wallet-draining impulse buying.

I certainly didn't read correctly! Coupons are one time only!

The personalized deals are unlimited. The coupon center is mostly one time only.

Did I read correctly that the coupons that one adds to his/her list/club card can be used over and over 'til they expire?[...]

Re: Safeway's current push

hi,i understand aunapuni 808,i was sharing that when i first signed up to get the safeway club card,it save's me half of what i purchase and i realize that it's not an offer for the club card.i use it to get half of the price that anyone would pay for like when time's once use to do it until they dont use a card like safeway anymore.

Re: Safeway's current push

sansei = this is not an offer for the club card. it is for additional savings for all the folks who already have the club card. if you can go online to www.safeway.com and sign up you can save a lot more $$$

Re: Safeway's current push

hi,when my mom and myself first signed up for the safeway card,i still use mine and it cut's the price in half when they have sale's and i ask advice when i need to know how to pick like grape's or honeydew melon's or cantaloupe's and they help and they are friendly.

i thought to share this with everyone.

well thank's for your time

Re: Safeway's current push

I signed up. I think it's great... I don't have to cut coupons anymore.

Just one thing, tho. I'd like it better if they would automatically load my card with all the coupons instead of me having to go online and select them. I know myself. I'll be in Safeway, thinking, Dang, I shoulda selected strawberries... or ice cream... or whatever. I think I'll just click on almost everything, just in case.

Re: Safeway's current push

[...]They actually show up on your club card when you go to the store. I had printed out my list just in case but it worked fine.

I signed up today, too. Thx for the club card info, anapuni. I guess I didn't read that far into the web site to notice that! I had to stop by Safeway for lei tonight and, while paying, I was told I was entitled to the free eggs! I wasn't going home at that point so didn't pick them up.

Did I read correctly that the coupons that one adds to his/her list/club card can be used over and over 'til they expire? I'll need to figure out an easy way to keep track of which coupons I add. I printed out my list to date but I'm hoping for those products to go on sale and use the coupons at that point. I wonder if Safeway has timed the coupons to not overlap a sale of those products.

WB...it's up to drivers to obey the law and not block the intersection. Where's cynsaligia when we need her?

Re: Safeway's current push

I just signed up - saved $4.50 on 3 items when I went to the store today. I think it's a great idea! and they were items that were already on my list. you have to go online and pick your items and add them to a list. They actually show up on your club card when you go to the store. I had printed out my list just in case but it worked fine.

Re: Safeway's current push

So is this different than the current Safeway card? I barely shop at Safeway because it's out of the way, I wonder if it's worth it to sign up.

Re: Safeway's current push

Are they going to improve the intersection of Beretania and Piikoi so that drivers going up Piikoi don't block the intersection?

Re: Safeway's current push

I signed up, now where are my free eggs? I clicked on the free eggs coupon and nothing happened (well, something happened - it said I hadn't clicked on anything and the free eggs coupon vanished). Lies or what? I sent a comment (there's no indication as to how one should submit a question online) asking about the free eggs. I'll update if anything results.
