Safeway in Hinton was good -- about as good as a grocery store can get.
The store had clear pricing and an easy-to-navigate selection, and I appreciated the amount of discounted "eat tonight" items available. Everything looked well stocked, and there was a solid selection of meat. The store itself is quite small and compact, but it didn't feel too overwhelming. The brightest and nicest area was definitely the fruit and vegetable section.
A couple downsides: the water aisle was a bit cluttered, and the floors were fairly dirty. That said, it was very slushy outside, so it's understandable given the weather and foot traffic.
Overall, a convenient stop with good stock and useful deals -- a solid grocery experience for a smaller town location. read more
