The only thing that is really different in price are produce .. but Whole Foods produce is lightyears better than Safeway's. Though really I should go to the farmer's market more often (tomorrow!) I pretty much don't shop at Safeway hardly at all (except late night runs when I have messed up in planning) even though both are equally convenient for me.

The produce at the SoMa Safeway is often MORE expensive than at Whole Foods.  For example, at Whole Foods, an organic lemon is 70 cents (jesus crap that's a lot for a lemon), but at Safeway it's $1.69 (!!).

us a strange one.  My brother worked as a butcher there for a couple of weeks.  They're apparently almost entirely separate from Safeway Corp.  Different buyers, different reps.

Well that doesn't change the fact by fluffy (4.00 / 1) #48 Fri Nov 16, 2007 at 02:48:04 PM EST
that it's the only alternative to Whole Foods in walking distance of my apartment, and more expensive.
