Save on your groceries
Safeway is a mobile app that helps shoppers save more money through digital discount coupons. Developed by the Albertsons Companies, Inc., this app provides weekly coupons and sale information for frequent Safeway shoppers. Not only that, but it also lets you earn rewards, which you can redeem at participating stations. The Safeway app also makes shopping easy by allowing shoppers to check products on each aisle and build their grocery list.
What Safeway offers
The Safeway app makes in-store shopping more affordable by offering up to $300 in weekly discounts. It offers a weekly ad, which shoppers can browse to look for products that they would like to buy. They can then “clip” those discount coupons, save them, and use them at checkout once they went out for groceries. More than coupons, users can also check sale announcements through the app. The app takes your shopping history into account when suggesting discounts.
In addition to coupons and sale information, the app also allows users to build their shopping list. You can scan barcodes on certain items to check their prices, expiration date, and more. You can also add them to your grocery list, even those that are not on your weekly ads or Club Specials. What makes the app really exciting is the fact that you earn a gas reward upon registration, which you can redeem at a participating store.
However, while the app helps you save money as you shop, getting discounts can be a bit difficult. For one, the app is prone to crashing, which can be a hassle when you're already at the checkout counter. Secondly, the interface is a little unintuitive. What's more, the coupons you save do not update in real-time, so expired coupons remain. Finally, the grocery list you create does not display the prices, so you won’t know how much you’ve bought.
Could use optimization
The Safeway app is a helpful tool to have if you are looking to save on your groceries. The app gives access to various discount coupons, which you can save on your phone. It also informs you of upcoming sales so you can schedule your next shopping day and take advantage of them. However, the app is a little hard to use and it frequently crashes, preventing you from using your saved coupons.
