                                     PART I.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

        As originally filed in November 22, 1993, this Registration Statement
registered 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of Safeway Inc. (the "Company")
which had been approved for issuance under the Company's Stock Option Plan for
Consultants of Safeway Inc. (the "Consultant Plan"). The Company now has adopted
a new plan, the 1999 Amended and Restated Equity Participation Plan (the "1999
Plan"), to which shares remaining available for grant under the Consultant Plan
may be transferred for the purpose of new grants. The Company had a two-for-one
stock split in each of 1996 and 1998, and, as a result, the number of shares
registered under the Consultant Plan is 4,000,000. As of December 31, 1998
1,970,000 shares were available for issuance under the Consultant Plan.

        Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed (under
Instruction E to Form S-8) to de-register 1,970,000 shares previously registered
for the Consultant Plan and to move those shares to a new Form S-8 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-87289) filed by the Company for shares issuable under
the 1999 Plan.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

24      Power of Attorney. (Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 24 to the
        Registrant's Registration Statement No. 33-51119 on Form S-8).
