Carri - I am going to disagree with you but only in the most loving way
][8)][]
I'd prefer to patronize one of the new real bakeries honestly and I too have a friend who works at Safeway bakery, except for their french and sourdough breads that if you go in the afternoon they have just baked! Their Bday cakes are terribly pedestrian. (yes said with my nose in the air, in case any one wondered![8)] But then I spent years under the tutelage of Miss Sonia - although none of the skills sunk in, the tasting did!)
Overall when safe way moves unless I am going to Tar-jay - it will be whomever has the best sale prices. I will no longer have any loyalty!
Safeway's prices have been creeping up, and we also already switched Pharmacies from Safeway to John's Puna Pharmacy for much lower pricing than Safeway, Walmart, or Longs more than a yr ago.
On their meat, when they went from using Grading system to that rancher's reserve, and Robert says its not very good now, and I agree. I believe the term he specifically compared it to "range-beef" in a most dismissive or derogatory tone as only one who comes from cattle country can!
IMHO only - No FF miles, no HFS next door, no savings, no beef....No Kapohocat.
