If you care about food safety, I strongly recommend not buying meat from this location. Today I returned meat I had purchased two days ago that had already spoiled well before its expiration date. After that, I bought ground turkey with a sell-by date several days out, assuming it would be safe. Unfortunately, it was also spoiled. It had a noticeable odor and a slimy texture -- clear signs it was no longer fresh. This is now the second time I've had meat go bad from this store before the printed date. That's extremely concerning and raises serious questions about how their meat is handled and stored. I won't be purchasing meat here again read more

February 2025: I had a great experience recently thanks to Safeway's outstanding customer service. Took me quite awhile trying to figure out how to process a digital coupon for yogurt. Finally found a worker named Dorian to help me. He was busy but gladly stopped what he was doing. I already had the Safeway app so that was a plus. Dorian enthusiastically walked me through the process and shared other information regarding the app including checkout procedures. His positive attitude made my experience less frustrating and motivated me to familiarize myself more with the app. I managed to convince Dorian to pose for my 5-star review. Mahalo for the help! read more

Rating on Service, should be a zero in my opinion**** Maybe, this is my perception and I don't understand. But I went around 530a this morning before work. Register 3 I believe. Cheryl was my cashier. She was friendly I guess. Greeted/Acknowledged me. But what I didn't like...I walked up and she was spraying and wiping the checkout conveyor belt. It was still wet. And she didn't bother wiping it more. I'm placing food and beverages on this? She continued spraying and wiping in between ringing my items. She didn't place all my items at the area they normally place so you can grab them. She left half of the items on the conveyor belt...hm? I tried to call the number provided to leave a comment on this but was given the generic automated recording who told me the store is closed. I understand in a way, it's just packaging. But I'm not even certain what she's spraying in her bottle. Or...this could have waited till I was pau paying? Huge turn off, no thanks Safeway. read more

Your boneless chicken wings, ( nuggets) are terrible, the spicy ones are not spicy, and dry, with too much coating. Temperature wise they were warm at best. Even at $5 per pound, it was not a good deal. Terrible food at any cost is not a good deal. Suggest changing your vendor brand, and serving them both temperature hot and the spicy ones to be SPICY. Why when you do fried chicken do you always run out of chicken before NOON, Don't you keep records of sales, and buy enough to supply your customers? Sale? No sale! No product, sorry we ran out, doesn't cut it. Run a promotion but if you're going to have a cut off time print it in bold letters. read more

Sunday, 3 Aug 25 (10:45), I went to the Deli to order a sandwich with white bread. I was told they ran out of the white bread. Question I had where do you get your bread? The bakery on the other side. How can you already be out of white bread if all you needed to do was walk over , get the bread..... now you have white bread and a satisfied customer. Was my first time ordering. Easy fix. read more

I love $5.00 Friday's at Safeway stores.... Every Friday different items are on sale for $5.00. What a deal. Safeway has very fresh vegetables and fruits and many times you can find items you can't find in local grocery stores. Floors are clean, aisles are wide so easy go around when another customer is shopping and you can always find someone to help you and this is a huge plus. I love their beautiful flower selection. Always fresh and full of color and the bakery makes fresh breads and delicious sweets daily. Lots of parking and they even let customers use the restroom.... Another huge plus.... read more

So I'm commenting on the way the cut fruits are sold. I mean today I spent $5.99 on a bowl of fruit. I'm on the go so I figure ahhh eat fruit, it won't be messy while driving. GEEEZ LOUISE!!! the fact that each of these pineapple cuts was so big that they could be cut in 4's or maybe even 6 pieces each pineapple blows my mind. I was so hungry, I tried to take a bite of one (smallest one). All the juices dropped on my clothes and the pineapple core was still intact! ‍. Then I drop that one, try another one. It was over ripe. You could taste that yucky old taste and it just ruined it. I tried to finish the first one just so that the over ripe taste stuck in my mouth went away. I mean....it's so upsetting to think I'm paying for inedible parts of a fruit. Pays to try to be healthy I guess. read more

Safeway in Waimalu is currently 1 of 4 Safeway locations that has the City & County car registration kiosk. And because Safeway is opened 24 hours, you can pay your car registration at a time that is convenient for you. The kiosk is so easy peasy! In and out in no time, it's as easy as making a money withdrawal from a back machine. The directions on the screen is big and easy to follow... After you pay, you'll receive an updated car registration and the car registration sticker preprinted with your car license plate information. There is a sign: machine will not accept secured credit cards or payment with multiple credit cards. My first option to paying for my car registration, will always be using this kiosk. When entering the store, the kiosk will be on your right, next to the bank machine, near the baked goods. Tons of parking! read more

Pricing of products and quality of food very well. I recommend Safeway to people especially their Friday sales very good.

So this safeway is ALWAYS BUSY. The workers are pretty much ok. I mean... I did have a few moments where the cashier is EXTREMELY RUDE. But these were the younger workers. I'd say late teens, maybe early twenties. So from my past experience, I try to avoid going to the registers with the young looking cashiers. Hehehe... Otherwise, they DO have good sales IF you know how to use them. You MIST download their app to get the best savings. Oh AND... by downloading the app, it prevents other people using YOUR coupons and rewards. How?! Apparently if you walk into the store, the stores system automatically links with your device. Once it does that, it can pick up the number you enter into their pad when you cash out. This will automatically scan through your coupons and sales you clipped in the app. So this is why it's important to open the app and clip the coupons. Because when you go into the store and renter you number, it'll connect with your device you have on you and automatically apply every single coupon you clipped in the app. Which is why it shows that I save over $20" each time I shop. Believe it or not, it really does make a difference. I LOVE cashing out at Safeway. I feel like I won the lotto when they tell me my final cost. Hehehe... I'm always waiting til that LAST PRICE DROP & then I'm like "WOOHOO!" Everyone cracks up laughing because I'm so excited. Even the customers after me starts getting anxious as to see how much they saved. Most will see how much money I've knocked off and asked... "wait, how much was her total. They'll say it was @ $600, now it's at $183." They'll look at me & ask how the hell?! So I tell them, download the app. The cashier confirms it's the app. Then I end up telling them HOW to use the app & clip all the coupons. That way the next time they come in, they'll see all the deductions. I'm telling you... the app really helps. But remember... it's linked to the number YOU HAVE on you in the store. So if your husband decides to use your number to get the discounts and coupons, but doesn't go store WITH YOU, he WONT get the sale prices!!! Unless he HAS YOUR PHONE! And if you use a house number, I'm sure it's versatile, BUT... remember, if he can use it, so can others. Which means, you may loose out on those $5 off coupons that you wanted to use. Why?! Because then other people can use the same number and then swipe your coupons. They might give your your rewards, but still, you loose you chance for a lower cost. You see, they usually have $1 off, $2 off, $3 off & $5 off coupons for specific items or after spending a specific amount of groceries, these do ADD UP. If all those $-OFF coupons apply to your purchase that day, guess what... that's NOT JUST $5 off, it's $1+$2+$3+$5=$11 TOTAL OFF your amount. (ONLY TO WHAT IS APPLIED) So yeah... those $-OFF coupons REALLY DO HELP TOO! You also get these reward tokens. You can use them to get a free item or 2. Depending on how much tokens you have. But sometimes they'll have a can of pork & beans for 1 token. And if you have 5, you could use 1 of the 5 to get that free can. You could also combine it too. So let's say a can of pork & beans is 1-token & foil is 2-tokens & a pack Scotts 12-roll toilet paper is 3-tokens, that's a total of 5-tokens. You could use the 5- tokens to get AL of that FOR FREE! These are just examples guys. They have different varieties throughout the month. So you'll ha e to pick and choose what you want to use the tokens for. And YES! I do believe they DO expire! So use them when you can. If your a frequent shopper, I'd say build it up to where you have a lot of tokens and then use them all at once before they expire. Otherwise, if your like me and shop there when needed, I'd say use your tokens ASAP so you don't waste them. It'll only go back to the store. It's better to make use of what you can get for your loyalty with the store than lose out on something that you did deserve. Whew!! Sorry guys! I know that was A LOT. But I really wanted to share my thoughts and experience. And for those who never knew about the rewards program or the app.... Well hopefully this helped. Otherwise, MAHALO FOR READING! Have a good one. MALAMA PONO & A HUI HOU!!' Stay safe! Birdie read more

Florist dept was horrible.(Mother's Day) Flowers in buckets with NO price listed. Many customers asking each other if we saw a price listed anywhere. Finally a young unfriendly angry person arrive in the florist dept. & asked her the retail. She literally GRABBED the flowers out of my hand and angrily went to the back of the counter . Customers around me looked at each other and couldn't believe how her customer service was presented. We all commented that if prices Was listed we wouldn't have had to ask. They were shocked and shook their heads in disbelief of this employee. I tried calling for over an hour To speak with the store manager but no one answers the phone either. None the less the employee was a terrible angry person. NEVER again will I go to the Waimalu florist, just awful terrible service or shop at this Safeway. Mililani and Waikele Safeway has awesome employees read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Hawaii DMV now machine is located at this Safeway and it is quick & easy to use Stopped in Safeway solely to renew my car registration. *Easy to follow instructions *No cash accepted or checks accepted. *Credit card needed for payment. *Bring your vehicle registration renewal form. *Follow the prompts and scan the bar code on the form. Verify the info. *Towards the end there is a itemized fee list. I noticed there is a $7.00 beautification fee listed. At this point there was no way to back out & not contribute to the "beautification" fee. *Upon payment your vechicle registration renewal form is printed along with the decal for you license plate. *Quick & efficient way to renew your vehicle registration. Hope the City & County do a good job of beautifying our island with this fee! read more

Decided to give Safeway another try with their other special. They had the chicken wings on sale for $5 a pound. Called and asked if they could hold 3# of their Salt & Vinegar wings for me...said I would have to come down to order the $5 Friday specials. Arrived about 10 minutes later...they only had 2#'s left and would need to wait 45 minutes. I asked if I could get a rain check...one of them said I couldn't, the other said I could. Since I had a long wait for the wings, I went to the cashier to get the rain check. She called the Deli and the person she spoke to said I can't get one. I informed her one of them said I could. Not sure why they were giving me a hard time because according to the cashier, there's a 6# limit. If they ran out and I couldn't get what I wanted, why didn't they want to give me a rain check? The cashier did end up giving me one but didn't seem happy about it. TERRIBLE customer service! Just wanted to mention...while waiting for my chicken, I did bump into a friend. He also wanted to buy the Salt & Vinegar chicken wings. I informed him they were out but tried anyway. He came to find me and said he got the wings...he just had to wait 5 minutes. They also asked him how many pounds he wanted...WHAT?!!!! Thought they were out!!!!! Again...TERRIBLE! Salt & Vinegar chicken wings...it was good. To Dawn M. - Business Manager who responded to my first Yelp review. Per your request, I did submit my contact info on Safeway's website under "Contact Us" on 9/13/22. I received an automatic response stating "Customer Service colleagues will get back to you as soon as possible". As of today, 10/7/22, no one got back to me. read more

I come here frequently to shop for groceries since it's close and I like the quality of the produce here. I have gotten fruit, healthy dips for my pita chips and my Diet Cranberry juice here. Prices are descent and of course with COVID 19, it's mandatory to wear a mask and keep 6 feet away. They are always fully stocked on food for my dietary needs. I have to watch what I eat now that I have to monitor my sugars and cholesterol. Anyway, the store is always clean and items are easy to find. Checking out is easy. You must bring your recycled back or they charge you for a paper bag. I definitely like this location as it's not to busy when we come here on a weekday. Parking is plenty up front so there's always a spot to park if you are looking to come here. I would definitely come back here and am pleased to find what I'm looking for. read more

Rudest cashiers! Mature age staff may need retraining on customer service. I purchased a $200 gift card and the Cashier was so rude.

unclear and lengthy return process. clerk seemed unknowledgeable about the return process, unnecessarily utilizing calculator multiple times to tally up a total that was already on the receipt? she was also inept at using the calculator, causing unnecessary delay. she then claimed she had to calculate the price because the prices had changed? not true, I had just purchased the item a few hours before. I waited for 10 minutes for her to have to re-do the return process multiple times. She also didn't state clearly what the process was. She handed me the receipt and I began to walk away as that usually means the process is done. She then goes "did you insert your card?" Maam you didn't tell me to! Most places don't require you to insert your card for a receipt, it's an automated system. She then asked me to fill out a piece of paper with my address, full name, and phone number? So unnecessary and weird? Never have I ever had to do that. It was also her 3rd time asking for my phone number. I don't know if it was just this clerk who was inept but if this is Safeway's actual return process, they need to simplify this antiquated and drawn out process. The clerk should also communicate the process rather than just assuming I would know whether / when to insert my card, etc. the machine didn't even light up! She also told me to swipe and the swipe didn't even work, it was supposed to be a chip insert. AND the signature pen didn't work, and I had to do more than one signature? the whole process was honestly dumb, I almost just told her to keep the stuff and wanted to walk away. The whole experience was unnecessarily long, poorly communicated, and slow. read more

Worst Safeway I've been to in my life. 1 check out lane open. 3 employees trying to help 1 lady check out 1 item. I stood begins her for over 10 mins. I let the line and went to self check out. Issues with self check out machine. Took the lady a long time to come fix the issue. People were still waiting on line behind the one lady with one item when I left. read more

I love our neighborhood Safeway! They have everything I need! Yes, they are pricey but if you're needing something right away, just come here and they'll have it for sure. I'm used to shopping in Safeway back in the mainland cause they are everywhere and they are huge! I wish our Safeway here is bigger. The only downside, they always seem to run out of carts. Like one time, I had to stalk this lady all the way to her car just to get the cart when she was done. And i told the cashier about it and she said that they had just ordered 200 carts last December and now they're all gone. Go figure. I love $5 Fridays here, it does get a bit packed but the deals are worth it if you find them. They're vegetables are always looking plump and fresh. They have wonderful fruits. And their bakery section, oh so yummy cakes and pastries! On Fridays, you can get a dozen bagels or donuts for only $5! I also get some flowers here every now and then cause on Fridays, it's just $5 for a bouquet. I also love their poke station, in my opinion, they have the best salmon poke. It's my absolute favorite. Their soup station is also so good, my favorite is the tomato soup. Yum! You should also try their salt and vinegar wings, and the jojos! Really crispy and such good flavor! Also the cashiers here are very very thoughtful, they always address you with your last name which i think is sweet. And they tell you if what you bought isn't a good deal or if it'll go on sale that weekend, they ask if you absolutely need it right now, and if not to just come back that weekend cause it'll be half off. I love our Safeway and everyone that works there. read more

Safeway - Valentine's day Roses $26.99 a dozen - Grocery Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

This was my last resort. I had gone to multiple grocery stores between Kalihi and Aiea searching for this one item that I needed to bake my double mocha cappuccino chocolate cake. I was losing hope. So, before I drove out to this location, I called to check if they had it in stock. In hindsight, I probably should have done that for all of the places I visited before driving all around the creation LoL Anyway, they had it! This review is for the awesome customer service I received over the phone and also while I was in the store picking up my ingredient. First, there was an automated message that picked up and I was already thinking, "oh, no, this is going to take forever!" However, once I passed the list of different options and selected one of them, I was directed to the right department and, to my surprise, was met right away with an actual human voice. I've called other grocery stores in the past and was put on hold forever, so it caught me off guard a little bit to be connected to a worker so quickly. Next, I told the guy what I needed. He put me on hold, for only a brief moment, to go check on it. He came back on the line like two minutes later. In my head, I was thinking, "this guy never even check!" But, he said the item that I was looking for was in stock and he went even further by telling me exactly how many was on the shelf. He was fast, efficient and friendly. I asked him to put it on hold for me and told him I'd be there in about 15 minutes. Then, I arrived at the store. The guy on the phone said he'd leave it with customer service and I could just pick it up there. So, I walked all around the store trying to find the customer service desk, but with no luck. I must've looked like a lost puppy because a worker asked me if I needed some help and my husband (who came in with me) explained to him that I had called earlier and placed an item on hold. The worker immediately remembered me and knew exactly what it was that I needed because he identified himself as the person whom I spoke to earlier and he was the one to personally pull it from the shelf. He offered to get my item from the customer service area and conveniently delivered it to me right at the register. This guy was awesome! I wish I could remember his name, but I'm pretty sure his tag said "manager." If not, Safeway should promote him because he provided some damn good customer service tonight! LoL The only thing preventing me from giving this review a 5-star rating is that it was difficult to find the customer service area. Maybe a sign would help? But, that's the only negative feedback that I have to say about this experience. Overall, a job well done! read more

Whenever I need groceries or food for a party, this is my go-to place! I love their Safeway app because it tells me what aisle things are in! So awesome!! I also love that I can browse the weekly ads on my phone! I usually bookmark what I wanna buy so I already have the list ready! On Fridays, they do $5 deals which is so awesome! And I recently found out that if they're out of something that was on the $5 deals, you can pick up a rain check at the register! Whoohoo! The only reason I would give this place 3 stars is because when you actually need help finding something, there's rarely anyone around to help you! :/ Nonetheless, still super awesome app and they have so many things on sale allll the time! The sales usually start on Thursday and run for a week. Of course the $5 deals are only on Fridays. Happy bargain and coupon shopping! read more

This review is mainly for the deli department, they finally have a full compliment of boars Head products. This means no more trips to dirty foodland , Safeway is always clean, the staff is friendly and attentive and always makes sure the meat is cut the way I ask. I never have to double check to make sure they peeled back the paper from around the meat. You don't know how many times I left foodland to have a 15 dollar back of meat with plastic still attached to my food. Safeway isn't my go to shopping spot just because there are cheaper spots with all the same items but no one has the deli selection they do. If you want good deli meats and cheeses buy boars Head, if you want a clean place to buy them go to Safeway if you live in the area. read more
