We have an extra reason to be thankful this year, as we prepare to gather — safely! — with family and friends. We can’t wait to celebrate together, but we also remember how stressful it can be to host an epic holiday feast (especially a year out of practice). That’s why we’re making the most of our grocery runs to maximize convenience in the kitchen.

With bountiful fresh produce, on-point wine pairings, and incredible store perks, Safeway® makes sure your Friendsgiving has all the fixings. When you download the new Safeway® Deals & Delivery app you’re automatically enrolled in the free Safeway for U™ Member program, which is (ahem) stuffed with extra perks that make shopping easier, more affordable, and way more fun. You’ll earn Rewards redeemable for discounts on groceries and gas, weekly personalized deals, digital coupons, plus a free item every month and a birthday treat offer to celebrate you!

As a self-proclaimed anti-diet dietician, Emilie Hebert has a mindful, wholesome approach to eating that’s especially welcome around the holidays. On a recent trip to Safeway®, she picked up the ingredients for a comforting and crave-able potluck side dish: cheesy broccoli-rice casserole.

With Safeway for U™, nearly every dollar Emilie spends is redeemable for savings on groceries and gas, just in time for the busyness of the season. In her recent haul, she grabbed everything she needed to make this simple, satisfying crowd-pleaser, including fresh broccoli florets and soy milk from Safeway®’s O Organics line. And because we’re all looking for ways to make holiday cooking easier, Emilie also stocked up on O Organics Long Grain Wild & Brown Rice, which comes in microwavable pouches that slash her recipe’s prep time.

Before you start your own holiday cooking, join Safeway for U™ by downloading the Safeway® Deals & Delivery app to shop, save, and redeem Rewards all in one spot. New Safeway for U™ Members earn $5 off their next purchase of $25 or more, so you can have an even more flavorful feast this year.
