Great Grounds For
Switching Supermarkets

Safeway's Uncommon Ground vs.
Other Stores' Common Ground

It starts with the ground beef. Safeway has five different varieties,
for all kinds of taste. Some stores only have three. The same goes
for the rest of Safeway's meat department. We have
a larger and
better selection. More variety and cuts of U.S.D.A. inspected
beef, tender prok, lean lamb, high quality veal and a larger
selection of poultry than any other store. So think about it.
If you're shopping somewhere else, there's something
you're probably sacrificing.

Why You Don't Want A Salmon
That Has Made It To The Top.

The best salmon never get ahead. They're caught before they swim
upstream to spawn. And, if they're salmon destined for Safeway,
they're normally caught by hook and line and hand-selected so
they're in prime condition. Some stores buy netted fish or just
take what they can get. And that usually means an older,
duller and even bruised fish.

It's just one example of the uncompromising standards you
can depend on in the Safeway seafood department.
You can also depend on a selection of fresh seafood
from around the world that exceeds the varieties carried
by most supermarkets. So, if you're shopping somewhere
else, there's something you may not be catching.

With Asparagus, It Pays
To Take Short Cuts.

Asparagus is actually a member of the lily family and that's why it
must be handled very carefully. The highest quality asparagus is
harvested early and cut shorter – while the stalk is at its greenest,
the buds their tightest, and when it is medium size in diameter.

Once cut, fresh asparagus will literally fall apart if proper
temperatures and humidity levels are not maintained. The buds
will open and the woody tissue will develop rapidly,
causing a distinct loss of flavor and tenderness.

Because of the delicate nature of asparagus, our standards
are more stringent than most supermarkets. They're even
higher than the top government grade. And, since our
spears are an entirely edible shorter cut,
you're never short changed.

These scrupulous specifications for asparagus are what
Safeway shoppers have come to expect of the Safeway
produce department.

So, if you're shopping somewhere else,
there's something you may be compromising.
