Ditto on the club card and the new Just for U plan. We shop at Safeway occasionally and never do so without that card (you can enter your phone number if you forget).
We've found that deals can be found across multiple stores in Hilo. Fortunately, they are all so close to each other. With the increased competition (including the Target store), I hope that pricing will come done, that the experience will be more pleasant, and that the selection will increase.
We raise our own eggs and a number of veggies so we try to avoid buying these at the grocery stores. The farmer's markets also seem to be a better place for produce. Produce is typically expensive at these stores.
BTW - I was in KTA (Puaniko) yesterday and was met with a very interesting experience. They had someone walking around in a huge dino outfit entertaining the kids, someone handing out balloons, free cake tastings, tastings at the deli, a mini-raffle, and a constant barrage of 'for the next 15 min' sales announcements... It must have been a reaction to the SafeWay opening. They should have started this weeks ago...
They did not pressure wash.
