I admit I knew about Safeway and their  Home Grocery Delivery program, but I just never thought too much about it. We as people get stuck into our own little routines as we go through life, I am no different.

I know that grocery delivery has been around for eons in smaller neighborhood type stores, and also for those that could afford the "luxury". Yes I use the world luxury because that was one of those little ideas I had in my head when I though of grocery delivery. You know what I mean right? Those ladies of leisure sitting around with a cocktail in their hand while on the phone relaying their shopping list to a waiting store clerk.

Grocery shopping has just been one of those things that I have always had to make time for, I knew of no other way. This is however one activity that I refuse to do with my kids. That certainly makes it tough as I have a husband who works more then he is home, often this results in late night scatter brain trips. I just thought well Ce la V.

Well it doesn't have to be that way! Safeway can help us, you can place an order and have it delivered in a time range that works for you.

So I know if it were me the first question I would have it "what is the cost to use the service"? Good question and yes my first thought. The delivery fees rang from $6.95 to $12.95 depending on the order size and time selected for delivery. Not to bad for the convenience of it wouldn't you say? Do you think you could get a personal shopper to do your grocery shopping for that? Heck no!You can choose ether a 2 or a 4 hour window for delivery.


This may not be something you see yourself using all the time, that's what I am thinking. BUT for those time when you are short on time and have a million and one things on your plate it sure is nice to have this available. Currently Safeway offers Grocery Delivery to residential locations in the following areas: Northern California: San Francisco, Marin, Greater North Bay, East Bay, Sacramento, San Jose, Peninsula, Monterey, Salinas Portland, OR Seattle, WA Greater Phoenix, AZ Maryland, Philadelphia, Washington D. On the website you can also enter your zip code to see if you area is being serviced.

Here is some more info for you on this service. There is a $50.00 minimum order amount, No coupons cannot be used, but you will get the current Safeway club card prices. To pay for your order they accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and debit cards that have the Visa or MasterCard logo.


Alrighty then now that I have the technical info out of the way let me get onto my experience. First you need to create an online account so that you can shop.Once you are done registering you can begin shopping by wither viewing the entire store through "virtual Isles" they are sort of organized like a regular store would be.  You can also type in the name of what you are looking for an it will be added to an express shopping list with a product that best matches those terms.

Onto the actual delivery, painless! My delivery driver was running a bit late but that is life sometimes things get delayed BUT he called way in advance to let me know. I purposely ordered things that needed to be kept cold and frozen. I wanted to make sure they arrived in good shape. PERFECT my eggs were in great shape and my Ice Cream was frozen solid. The reason is the truck. Take a look at the photos. There are individual baskets inside both sizes of a climate controlled truck!






























The whole process couldn't have been any easier. If you are looking to save time in a very easy way give Safeway Home Grocery Delivery a try. I'm my opinion some things are so worth the money, this is certainly money well spent for the help. This service would not only be fab for the busy household but imagine what a help this could be for the elderly or the disabled! This would be a great way to regain some Independence.

I wanted to pass on a special code for you to use. If you enter the code  MNDYALRDY you will receive $7.00 of your total and FREE delivery on your first order!
