Cucumber girl at Safeway
I've noticed that a lot of people get here by googling "safeway girl" (or occasionally "safeway grl" - I suspect these are the same people who play Typing Manic all day). I tried it myself and came across this ancient craigslist missed connections ad. Could you find not only deals, but true love at Safeway? :) http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/1781223.html

What to buy at Trader Joes
I know, I know, this is a Safeway blog. But there are items that I always buy at Trader Joes because they're either cheaper at TJ, or unique to TJ. I switch it up every now and then when Safeway doesn't have anything exciting on sale, when I want to support a fellow graduate of my college, or when I feel like a free mini-cup of coffee :) Things I buy at Trader Joes:
Packaged and frozen indian food (unique)
Polenta (unique)
Half and half (cheaper than Safeway)
Wheat pasta (cheaper than Safeway)
Gourmet cheeses (cheaper than Safeway)
Chocolate covered x, where x is anything bite-sized. Favorite is chocolate covered edamame (unique)
Teas (unique & cheaper)
