Safeway Food & Drug

The fish smell when I walked in was over-​powering. Their packaged greens in produce were fairly fresh, and I like it that they actually have arugula, but in general the prices seem to be higher that Walmart or Fred Meyer.

Shop here because its close, but have notice the prices have been climbing since Haggens have belied up. So have been venturing more towards Walmart and Winco

Very disappointed with the meat department. Brown ground beef wrapped with fresher meat, 3 good chops covering 3 horribly cut chops. Shady.

Good service, friendly workers, great food, great prices.
Safeway is my #1 Choice in Oregon.
I came to this location looking for one thing, and they were out of the Safeway brand pre-​made pizza dough. It’s the best! — Had to drive to another Safeway.
I enjoy tossing and making pizza.

Nicer than Albertson’s which is located a little ways past. My go to store for a ripe avocado. No stores ever have ripe avocados. They always do. All Natural chicken breasts usually on sale for a $ 1.99 big packs is a bonus. Little high on prices but for a quick jont it’s location is key. Their brand of ice cream is really good too! The major negative is the time to get out. It can be suuuper busy and they’ll have 2 check out lines going. Slow as well. Painful. Really painful sometimes.

Pathetic service. Rude cashiers. Don’t shop here. Management is hurried and rude to customers. Staff doesn’t know where anything is located. Bad store.

A lot of stores have good service, but this Safeway takes it to a new level. I am blown away every time I have used this Safeway by how helpful and polite everyone is. Why is there so much variation between the quality at different Safeways?

Overall, I like this store. Its easy to find your item and get out quick. For larger trips, I find their selection and prices pretty good. Workers are always walking around asking if they can help me.
Pros: clean, has very helpful staff, and has a huge variety of brands. Produce is decent. Bagels are the best here! The staff always attempts to keep the lines short and open aisles whenever possible. Gas rewards are nice — I seem to get one every month (ex 10 cents off per gallon). They have some great safeway brand refrigerated items (white cheddar mac and cheese, beef tamales, etc). Great for a quick lunch or dinner side item. The online coupons are super convenient. Also has a redbox inside, yay!
Cons: meat prices and selection is terrible. Meat counter items don’t always look fresh either. Just avoid meat here :)
I would recommend this Safeway!

Very poor service. Rude checker when I forgot my safeway card and had to use my phone number to checkout. She actually had the nerve to say that she thought she had been through it before with me. I hadn’t shopped there in months and won’t be back. What a pointless reason to alienate and lose a customer for.

How important is convenience? Fairly important in my world. For some reason I always forget one item on my shopping list and I know when cooking I can jaunt over here and back for that last ingredient before my place burns down.
They’ve lured me back into their store and chain lately with this Just for U promotion. They look at your purchase history if you are a Club Card member and electronically send you coupons based on things you have already purchased. It’s simple and if you aren’t a foil hat-​wearing conspiracy theorist, it’s incredibly useful. You just click which deals you want and it downloads them onto your club card account and goes through automatically when you check out. I really like that you can use the deals again and again until they expire. Since I am paper coupon averse, this was pretty magical the first time I used it.
Pros:
Competitive pricing, particularly on dairy products and bread. There’s nearly always a buy one get one free deal going on. They also carry a decent selection of Dave’s.
They seem to be making a better effort to buy local and organic to keep pace with their competitors.
Crazy sales on wine at least 4 times a year.
The employees here are all super nice and helpful and the store is always well-​kept and clean.
The bottle return machine is usually in good order.
Cons:
The beer selection makes me want to cry. Not kidding. Whoever buys their beer at this location must not drink beer and they sure don’t know how to competitively price it. Unless you only drink Bud Light. Stick to the wine and their ridiculous discounts they offer frequently.
The runner-​up in things that make me want to cry is their produce. It is poorly stocked and low quality. They make an average effort to buy local.
The meat department is also disappointing. Poor selection and I question the freshness sometimes.
Their store re-​organization from two years ago was a total fail in my book and they seem to be constantly moving and re-​organizing since then. Maybe they should hand out maps at the door.
Overall it’s not bad, and definitely better than most Safeways around, I’m just glad there are other options nearby so I can get good produce and beer. Oh the beer. There I go tearing up again just thinking about it…

This Safeway location is my primary shopping destination, mostly because it’s near my house, has a decent selection of the staples and almost never has long lines (both at the checkout stand and in the individual departments). Though sometimes, I wish this store wasn’t so convenient since there are other stores in the area I’d rather be shopping with.
The produce department at this Safeway is rather lacking, both in quality of produce and selection. We can rarely find good bell peppers here and they don’t have many fresh herbs or leafy greens I’m often looking for.
Their poultry selection is also lacking and often quite depleted.
There is also a particular checker at this store that we’ve had such awkward/​bad experiences with that we will actually opt to wait in a longer line to avoid him.

Love this store! Every employee is very friendly and always asks if you need any help. The store is fairly clean, but I have to say they don’t keep their bathrooms very well stocked. I am not a huge fan of the rearrangement and new layout of my favorite items, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it over time. The great customer service (and 10 cent gas discount) will keep me coming back!
