hmmm, looking for one lady that did commercials for Safeway in the early 80's, so many I called her the Safeway lady(dark brown hair and eyes). She also did many other national commercials. She and a guy that is still making commercials (late 60ish's balding) were everywhere in the 80's.... anyone??
I love the one that starts at 2:30 ..ahh, with all the brands and labels I remember from childhood.. Lucerne, with the big "L", and the flower.. Bell brand potato chips, Bel-Air frozen veggies, Libby's juices, {remember those unforgettable Libby's commercials?}, ..and I think that's Empress apricot preserves. So many things have changed, or gone out completely~ =')..Thank you...x''} ..bwaaaahh X''()
@romleys yeah, I saw that...at 4:28, some 1980-style dude is pulling a tack out of his foot, or something, in front of the big oldschool logo.. That just don't belong. BTW, I like the ad at the very end, when the lady pulls out the last word, some: "Mo-o-o-ore!" That works better.
I kinda like the old feel compared to the recent "lifestyle" renovation. My local safeway was remodeled on the inside about 3 years ago but the exterior kept the old feel, including the logos, but recently was remodeled on the outside (along with the rest of the shopping center that accompanied it)
I worked for Safeway from about 1980 to 1995. What a trip down memory lane!

I still remember the whole jingle from the 70's and 80's and when Safeway was still in Southern California.

Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard that jingle (the last ad in the sequence) since I was a kid, in the days we had Safeway in the UK

I never had a Safeway in my own until 10 years ago.
