This should read 'high prices 'are' the main reason'. Thanks for understanding!

I have had several conversations in groups that all say that if any other store was on this side of town Safeway would be gone! High prices is the main issue. It is called competition which gives us a choice.

"And just what is Safeway?"
Safeway is a giant convenience store that poor people cannot afford. Many of their customers only go there to save time from running across town. Compare, Safeway- $4.50 for a lb of meat, and $5.50 for a 12 pack of soda. $2 for a bag of hamburger buns. Compare to Wal-Mart or Win-Co, $5 for a 20 pack of soda, 68 cents for a bag of hamburger buns, and $2.25 for lb a meat. Feeding a family on $200 a month, what would you do? Wal-Mart, Win-Co, and Safeway get almost all of their food goods from US and Canadian farmers. I go to Safeway because it is close to my apartment. There prices are through the roof, and their lines are long and slow. Not to mention I frequently catch them ringing my food up for a higher price then they advertised it to be, I caught them three times in one month overcharging me, then you have to argue with over it, and half the time the price difference is not worth the arguing. I will say though that Eric, the general manager, is nice guy. Wal-Mart coming in on the east side will save me no less than $75 a month, and for a college student, that is a great deal of money.

The only thin! g new is a grocery store on the east side of town."
