Basis of Presentation
_____________________
          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 
include the results of operations, account balances and cash flows of 
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material 
intercompany balances have been eliminated. 

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited 
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to 
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations of 
the Company for the periods presented.  The statements have been

Reclassifications
_________________
          Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year to 
conform to classifications used in the current year.


Capital Stock
_____________
          On August 30, 1993, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-
one stock split, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable 
to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 17, 1993 
and distributed on October 4, 1993.  Average shares outstanding and per 
share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split.

          On March 10, 1993, pursuant to a 1979 agreement, the Company 
purchased 21,976,320 shares (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split 
distributed on October 4, 1993) of its common stock from the estate of 
J. A. Albertson, the Company's founder, at a cost of $517.5 million or 
$23.55 per share.  This purchase was financed through the reissuance of 
10,400,000 shares (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split 
distributed on October 4, 1993) of Albertson's stock at $26.25 per 
share, netting $264.5 million, and the issuance of $252.1 million in 
medium-term notes.  The remaining 11,576,320 shares (as adjusted for the 
two-for-one stock split distributed on October 4, 1993) were retired at 
a net cost to the Company of $21.85 per share.





<PAGE>
Long-Term Debt
______________
          In connection with the stock purchase discussed above, the 
Company issued $252,075,000 of medium-term notes, interest payable 
semiannually.  This debt consists of the following (in thousands):

  Unsecured medium-term notes due March 1996 (4.86% interest)  $77,000
  Unsecured medium-term notes due March 1998 (5.68% interest)   85,425
  Unsecured medium-term notes due March 2000 (6.14% interest)   89,650


Nonrecurring Charge
___________________
          A $29.9 million nonrecurring charge was recorded during the 13 
weeks ended October 28, 1993  to cover a $29.5 million settlement of the 
Babbitt v. Albertson's lawsuit, an employment discrimination class 
action lawsuit filed in 1992.  The nonrecurring charge covers the full 
cost of the settlement including compliance with the consent decree and 
plaintiffs' attorney fees, as well as all expenses associated with its 
implementation.  This nonrecurring charge does not reflect possible 
recovery from insurance coverage, which the Company is pursuing in 
litigation against several carriers.  The Company expects to recover a 
portion of the overall settlement from its insurance carriers, although 
any recovery amount is indeterminate at this time.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
_____________________

Results for the quarter:
          Sales for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1993 increased by 
$148,636,000 (5.7%) over sales for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 1992.  
Identical store sales, sales in stores that have been in operation for 
the full 13 week periods of both years, increased 2.9%.  Identical store 
sales continued to increase through higher average ticket sales per 
customer.  During the quarter nine stores were opened, eight stores were 
closed, and ten store remodels were completed.

          The following table sets forth certain income statement 
components expressed as a percent to sales and the year-to-year 
percentage changes in the amounts of such components.

          Gross profit, as a percent to sales, increased due primarily 
to increased utilization of the Company's distribution system.  
Utilization of the Company's distribution system has enabled the Company 
to better control product costs and product distribution.  There was no 
LIFO charge for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1993 as compared to a 
pre-tax LIFO charge of $2.4 million (0.09% to sales) for the 13 weeks 
ended October 29, 1992.

          Interest expense, net for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1993 
included a reduction of approximately $9.7 million due to the successful 
resolution of a tax issue for which interest expense had previously been 
accrued.  Excluding this adjustment, interest expense, net would have 
increased over the prior year's third quarter as a result of borrowings 
associated with the Company's purchase of its common stock from the 
estate of J. A. Albertson on March 10, 1993.



<PAGE>
          A $29.9 million nonrecurring charge was recorded during the 13 
weeks ended October 28, 1993  to cover a $29.5 million settlement of the 
Babbitt v. Albertson's lawsuit, an employment discrimination class 
action lawsuit filed in 1992.  The nonrecurring charge covers the full 
cost of the settlement including compliance with the consent decree and 
plaintiffs' attorney fees, as well as all expenses associated with its 
implementation.  This nonrecurring charge does not reflect possible 
recovery from insurance coverage, which the Company is pursuing in 
litigation against several carriers.  The Company expects to recover a 
portion of the overall settlement from its insurance carriers, although 
any recovery amount is indeterminate at this time.

          The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, signed into law on 
August 10, 1993, increased the Company's Federal tax rate retroactively 
to January 1, 1993.  Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended 
October 28,1993 included a charge of approximately $1.9 million for the 
retroactive adjustment from January 1, 1993 to July 29, 1993.  The 
effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending February 3, 1994 is 
expected to be 38.5% compared to 37.8% for the 1992 fiscal year.


Year-to-date results:
          Sales for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1993 increased by 
$735,460,000 (9.8%) over sales for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1992. 
A substantial portion of the increase was due to sales contributed from 
Jewel Osco stores acquired on April 13, 1992, and improved identical 
store sales.  Identical store sales, sales in stores that have been in 
operation for the full 39 week periods of both years, increased 3.2%.  
Identical store sales continued to increase through higher average 
ticket sales per customer.  During the 39 weeks 17 stores were opened, 
18 stores were closed and 31 store remodels were completed.

          The following table sets forth certain income statement 
components expressed as a percent to sales and the year-to-year 
percentage changes in the amounts of such components.

<PAGE>
          Gross profit, as a percent to sales, increased due primarily 
to expansion and increased utilization of the Company's distribution 
system.  Utilization of the Company's distribution system has enabled 
the Company to better control product costs and product distribution.  
The pre-tax LIFO charge reduced gross profit by $21.6 million (0.26% to 
sales) for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1993 and $21.3 million (0.28% 
to sales) for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1992.

          Operating and administrative expenses for the 39 weeks ended 
October 29, 1992 included certain one-time costs primarily associated 
with the Jewel Osco Acquisition.  The Company continues to emphasize its 
cost containment programs as well as increased productivity in an effort 
to reduce operating expenses as a percent to sales.

          Net earnings for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1993 included 
certain adjustments associated with the Babbitt lawsuit settlement and 
the decrease in interest expense due primarily to the resolution of a 
tax issue.  Net earnings for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1992 were 
reduced by approximately $37.8 million for certain one-time costs 
primarily associated with the Jewel Osco Acquisition and accounting 
changes, all of which were recorded in the first quarter of 1992. The 
following comparisons exclude those adjustments:

  - Gross margin increased to 24.35% from 24.05%

  - Operating and administrative expenses, as a percent to sales,
    decreased to 19.40% from 19.41%

  - Operating profit increased 18.2% to $407.4 million from $344.6
    million.

  - Net earnings increased 11.8% to $225.2 million from $201.4 million.

  - Net earnings, as a percent to sales, increased to 2.74% from 2.71%.

  - Earnings per share increased 15.8% to $.88 from $.76.

          In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment 
Benefits."  This new statement is effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1993 and requires an accrual for certain benefits 
paid to former or inactive employees after employment but before 
retirement.  Based on the Company's initial evaluation of the 
Statement's requirements, adoption is not expected to have a material 
impact on the Company's future financial results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________
          The Company's operating results continue to enhance its 
financial position and ability to continue its planned expansion 
program.  The primary source of liquidity for the 39 weeks ended 
October 28, 1993, aside from the transactions associated with the 
Company's purchase of its stock from the estate of J. A. Albertson, was 
cash provided by operating activities.  Cash provided by operating 
activities during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1993 was $353 million 
as compared to $335 million in the prior year.  During the 39 weeks 
ended October 28, 1993 the Company spent $295 million for net capital 
expenditures, $30 million to reduce long-term debt and $67 million for 
the payment of dividends.  The Company also utilizes its commercial 
paper program to supplement cash requirements resulting from seasonal 
fluctuations created by the Company's capital expenditure program and 
changes in working capital.  Accordingly, commercial paper borrowings 
will fluctuate between the Company's quarterly reporting periods.

          On March 10, 1993, pursuant to a 1979 agreement, the Company 
purchased 21,976,320 shares (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split 
distributed on October 4, 1993) of its common stock from the estate of 
J. A. Albertson, the Company's founder, at a cost of $517.5 million or 
$23.55 per share.  This purchase was financed through the reissuance of 
10,400,000 shares (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split 
distributed on October 4, 1993) of Albertson's stock at $26.25 per 
share, netting $264.5 million, and the issuance of $252.1 million in 
medium-term notes.  The remaining 11,576,320 shares (as adjusted for the 
two-for-one stock split distributed on October 4, 1993) were retired at 
a net cost to the Company of $21.85 per share.

          Since 1987 the Board of Directors has continuously adopted or 
renewed plans under which the Company is authorized, but not required, 
to purchase shares of its common stock on the open market.  The current 
plan was adopted by the Board on March 1, 1993 and authorizes the 
Company to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the two-for-
one stock split distributed on October 4, 1993) through March 31, 1994.  
During the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1993 no shares were purchased 
pursuant to this program.

                      PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
__________________________
         A $29.5 million voluntary settlement was reached in the Babbitt 
v. Albertson's lawsuit, an employment discrimination class action 
lawsuit filed in 1992.  This voluntary settlement, which is subject to 
union review and Court approval, covers all of Albertson's 144 stores in 
California and over 20,000 current and former employees.  The monetary 
settlement includes amounts for continuing and enhancing the Company's 
current training programs and for monitoring its employment practices.  
The settlement also provides financial incentives to Albertson's for 
achieving certain employment goals and provides for alleged damages to 
the settlement class and for attorney fees.  Albertson's chose to settle 
the Babbitt lawsuit early in the litigation, without an admission of 
liability, in order to save substantial time and litigation costs.  The 
effect of the settlement on third quarter earnings is set forth herein 
under the heading "Nonrecurring Charge" in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

         There have not been any material developments in the Super Food 
Services, Inc. lawsuit or the routine litigation referred to in the Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 1993.


Item 2.  Changes in Securities
______________________________
         In March 1992, the Company entered into a revolving credit 
agreement with several banks, whereby the Company may borrow, from time 
to time, principal amounts up to $200,000,000 at any time prior to 
April 1, 1997.  In accordance with this revolving credit agreement, the 
Company's consolidated tangible net worth, as defined (which includes an 
adjustment for the purchase of stock from the estate of J. A. 
Albertson), shall not be less than $750,000,000.
