Safeway is where I do a lot of my grocery shopping mainly because I live a short walking distance from one!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been mid way through a recipe to find out I am missing an ingredient and have to make a quick trip to Safeway! I am sure we’ve all been there!
But thankfully Safeway carries a wide variety of brands including many healthier items!
Of course ever Safeway location will vary with their product selection. Use this list of products as inspiration for what to look for during your next visit!
Other than the first item on this list, I won’t be going over any fruits or vegetables because those are a given! They have a great selection of organic and non organic produce!
20+ Healthy Items to Purchase at Safeway!
1 Spiralized Vegetables | I recently did a recipe post including prepackaged spiralized vegetables! Of course spiralizing vegetables yourself with a spiralizer is cheaper but these prepackaged foods are convenient if you’re in a hurry or don’t own a spiralizer!
2 Sprouted Silver Hill Bread | One of the best breads, hands down!?
3 Amy’s Enchilada Frozen Dinner | If you’re going to be cooking a frozen dinner, Amy’s should be your go-to brand! The ingredients in these frozen dinners are very similar to the simple ingredients you would use if making the dish yourself.
These dinners are in the gluten-free section by the frozen fruits.
4 Compliments Naturally Simple Trail mix | Simple & healthy ingredients = Awesome snack!
5 Liberté Greek Yogourt | I really like this brand of Greek yogurt because the sugar content is less than other Greek yogurt brands. I always choose the Vanilla flavour with 0% milk fat. This is a great easy breakfast when topped with nuts and berries!
6 Mary’s Organic Crackers | LOVE that Safeway carries this brand. They can be pretty pricy but I like to stock up when they are on sale!
7 Go Raw Choco Crunch Sprouted Seed Cookies | When you need something sweet here is a great prepackaged treat!
8 Good selection of nut butters | Minimal ingredients is key when choosing nut butters! Here are some good brands: MaraNatha, Nuts to You Nut Butter and Compliments Organic.
9 Simply Organic Black Pepper | Love that Safeway carries my favourite spice brand! High quality organic black pepper that comes in an adjustable grinder.
10 Compliments Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil | This is always my go-to olive oil!
11 Campbell’s Organic Vegetable Soups | Homemade soup is obviously the best but this is a good item to keep in the pantry when you’re in need of a quick lunch. These Campbell’s Organic soups are packed with good ingredients compared to most prepackaged soups!
12 Unsweetened Apple Sauce | Apple sauce is sweet enough on it’s own so there is no reason to buy sweetened apple sauce!!
I love eating apple sauce as a sweet snack, adding it to baking dishes and more!
13 Lundberg Brown Basmati Rice | Love this brand of rice- great quality and tastes deeeelicious!
14 Summer Fresh Hummus | Good & minimal ingredients!
15 Vegetable Salad Roll | I love veggie sushi rolls and Safeway sells good ones! They are fun to eat for lunch every now and then!
16 Organic Whole Kernel Corn | Safeway carries a wide variety of affordable organic frozen vegetables!
17 Organic Firm Tofu | This is honestly like $3, or under $2 if you get it on sale. You can make such affordable dinners with tofu. Try making my Crispy Tofu Recipe if you are unsure if you like tofu! I always to to buy firm or extra firm!
18 An amazing selection of Bob’s Red Mill products! I love that Safeway carries Bob’s Red Mill because this brand has a variety of flours, oats and cereals!
19 Skinny Pop Popcorn | Go-to snacking treat!
20 Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts | Hemp hearts have so many nutritional benefits – protein, omega’s, fibre and more! They also taste so great in a smoothie, on-top of Greek yogurt, dips and so much more!
I honestly had so many more items but I didn’t want to overwhelm this post so let me know if you would like to see a part 2!
I also love creating these posts so let me know if there is another grocery store you would like me to explore! ?

I usually shop at Safeway. The lay out is appealing. The fruit and Vegetables are always fresh. Lots of choices in the fish and meat sections, both fresh and packaged. The bread section as well has a lot of choices, besides their own in-house bakery, they also carry variates of other brands.
