New Safeway in the hood!!!! We have been anticipating the grand opening ever since they started…read moreconstruction and it did not disappoint. I proudly announce that I am that coupon cutting, foodie, chef, baker, grocery shopping mom nerd who loves a solid grocery haul. I gladly brought my two babies and hubby along to the opening and we were all so impressed and excited to have the new Safeway down the street from us! The minute we arrived we noticed flawless and beautiful displays of pumpkins on the outside and produce on the inside. Everywhere we looked it was a treat to the eyes; definitely made fruits and veggies look sexy! The parking was a breeze and easy to get in and out of, as is the drive up and go service that has been nothing short of wonderful for us (especially as a busy mom of 2 little who don't often want to get out of the car). Anyway, the other awesome thing they had was brand new shopping carts (with wheels that work and turn in all directions...yay)! They also have the big car carts for the kids and little mom's helper carts that my toddler will love. Along with fruits and veggies of all different kinds they also have their deli with hot and cold foods available, a bakery (we have yet to try), an amazing liquor area, a butcher where the meats look so enticing (I admit that I don't often get meat at Safeway because it hasn't been up to par, but this new Safeway had all the great cuts of meat and it's fresh and beautiful), they have isles and isles of neatly arranged product at great prices. They also have a pharmacy that we have gotten a few prescriptions from and it has been easy breezy. The store itself is giant, beautiful, and knocks the grocery shopping out of the park, but the best part of this store has been the staff. Everyone we have come across from the cashiers, butchers, bakers, customer service, to the drive up and go people have been so incredibly friendly and gone out of their way to help us in any and every way. This Safeway is wonderful and we will be shopping here for years to come!

I'm so disappointed in this store. I had such high hopes…read more It's a beautiful store but that's about it. I came in here a few days ago and my first impression of the store was an employee standing and talking to what I assume were friends, nobody said hello or greeted a single customer walking in. The flowers did all look beautiful and as I made my way over to the fruit it looked gorgeous. The fruit was terrible. Worse fruit I've ever had. Bland, tasteless and yet still "sour". I was walking around the rest of the store trying to do my shopping and I came across a product that I buy frequently, it was DOUBLE the price of anywhere else. I don't know why Safeway thinks they need to charge so much for their products. Their products are inferior and yet so much more expensive. I spent about maybe 30 minutes to 45 minutes in the store and not a single employee looked like they wanted to talk to any of the customers and that one employee that was at the front talking to her friends was there the entire time and never went anywhere else. I'm just so disappointed in the store. Considering the fact that it is brand new and just opened you would think they would be doing better.

Having moved from the other side of town, the three closest AJ's to me had taken to bulking out…read moretheir breakfast burritos with cheap potatoes to save cost, which would legit give me enough carbs to need a nap at 9 am. Not what I expect from the bougie grocery store. This location still just fills 'em with protein, and they let you take two salsas per burrito. The fresh salsa is unabashedly spicy too. I also appreciate the old standby $1.50 gigantic, unsweetened iced tea selection. You cannot get iced tea this size at this price at a coffee shop, or even a gas station, anymore. Most of the prepared lunch/dinner foods are overpriced, but great in a pinch and the sizes aren't bad. The meat and seafood sections are solid, and I value that in a city where fish mongers and butchers aren't super accessible. The staff is friendly and efficient as well.

Reasons why I love this market:…read more It's close to my house It's not on a Saturday morning Vendors are always so friendly It's never crowded Compared to other markets, there aren't many vendors. It works for me because it has the basics I always get: fresh herbs, eggs, tea & tamales. I'd love to see more produce but all in all, I think this is a really great little market.

Citadelle's Twilight Farmers Market started up after their summer break a few weeks back. They are…read moreopen Wednesday evenings from 4 - 7pm (until sometime in May). I went last week for the first time, and back again yesterday since it was so good. Most farmer's markets I've been to in Phoenix are generally lame. Mainly because there are 50% or more booths that are selling things like jewelry, knick-knacks or other things that to me belong more at a craft show than a farmer's market. This one, however, is almost all food (the only booth I noticed, other than information, that wasn't food was a table for one of the stores in the plaza). Two or three produce vendors, depending on the week, farm fresh eggs, grass-fed beef, bbq sauce, cider, granola, tamales, etc. etc. My favorite though is the dairy guys with the fresh cheese curds. You'd think you were eating a mouse the way these things squeek! Definitely fresher than the ones at Trader Joes. I am a huge fan of this farmer's market, and am sure all be back plenty of times over the fall/winter. My only minor complaint is that they advertise as Arizona's only farmer's market under the stars...since I pretty sure that the Downtown Market goes on Wednesday night and there is a farmer's market now at Norterra (sucked...see above about non food vendors), it's not even remotely true. 4.9 stars, rounded up!

Definitely exceeded my expectations and will be back!!

I called the number on the sign three times and was given a voicemail that says it has not been connected. So the people in the delivery were not answering their phone. I then went into the store and found customer service and waited several minutes for someone to finally come into customer service. They had me grab a car and go get my own groceries from the pick up service and put them in myself. I would say this is poor management.

Overcharged on approximately 30% of grocery items when compared to the advertised grocery discount…read morepricing. I've seen this occur on multiple visits to this local store. The most egregious occurrence was today when the customer checking out before me pointed out the pricing error on about every 3rd item in her cart, including a meat item that had the advertised discount price sticker right on the front of the package. That meat item rang up at almost $1/lb more than the sale sticker on the package. Of the 3 items I had to buy, a jar of Spaghetti sauce that was marked on the shelf as a discount from $12.99 down to $8.99 was subsequently charged at $10.99. This overcharging seems to be quite consistent and needs to be corrected. I have notified these facts to Arizona AG's office in the form of an online complaint.
