Don't think I've ever heard anyone call Safeway out for being 'way too expensive'...?  Even in lower income areas they do quite well through discounting/sales/coupons which, when taken into account, don't make them that much more expensive than the cheaper options such as No Frills, etc... |
i only go to safeway if i am desperate and superstore is closed - the prices are way too expensive at safeway like double sometimes on things - i use my card at safeway and its still too expensive
anyway i avoid it most of the time
