The offer is valid today, Saturday, January 5. Safeway is offering our heroes a well-deserved discount. The first Saturday of the month, the grocery store gives active duty, reserve and retired military personnel an additional 10% off their grocery purchase. Proper ID is required. (The discount does not apply to prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gift cards, money orders, bus passes and lottery tickets. Other exclusions may apply.)
The discount comes at the end of your bill, after sale prices and coupons have been tallied. Ten percent may not seem high, but, when it comes to groceries, the discount can easily put $10 or $20 back in your pocket — even more, if you have a big family.

Once again, I note that Safeway leaves out VETERANS! Even on Veterans Day, they offer the deal to all BUT veterans. Not all veterans are RETIRED. Keep the rest of us in mind – we served, too. I don’t mind so much for myself, but a LOT of veterans could really use the deal.
I know you have nothing to do with the parameters of the deal – just taking the opportunity to rant! NOT directed at you, but I’ve mentioned it several times to Safeway and they still ignore veterans on this. Perhaps you could apply a little pressure, too. Your influence might help.
Thanks for being such a great resource in general!

Safeway, Please reply on this forum: Why are veterans excluded from Safeway’s 10% discount? I gave up three prime years of my life for the USA. All who served their country should be recognized with the discount.

Jerry – Please understand MHOTC has no affiliation or business relationship with Safeway. All feedback regarding this promo needs to be directed toward them. We only posted the fine print in the weekly ad verbatim. We don’t know, if Safeway is inferring a formal retirement from the military. Or just intending to mean anyone who has left the military, which would include veterans. Anyone who is no longer part of the military could be considered “retired.” We would suggest speaking with its customer service department or a store manager for clarification. We just can’t imagine such a large company would openly discriminate against anyone who’s served. We hope our feedback is helpful. -BKC
