I'm in D.C. as well and Safeway has never been my favorite, but now I am REALLY mad at them!! I just got back from there, actually, and they had just started carrying Splenda packets and now...no more splenda. No, they weren't out, they just stopped carrying it. And, I got my cottage cheese home and saw that the foil on it was opened...grrr...but on the upside, eggs were buy one get one free. There's no winning. I have to go to Safeway and Fresh Fields to get everything I need, and even then it's a crapshoot. The supermarkets are SO much better back home. Oh well.
