               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

               On August 12, 1991, Safeway Inc. (the "Company") filed a
registration statement (File No. 33-42232) to register 14,000,000 shares of the
Common Stock of the Company which had been approved for issuance under the
Company's 1994 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan for Key
Employees of Safeway Inc. (the "Key Employee Plan"). On June 26, 1992, the
Company filed a second registration statement (File No. 33-48884) to register
4,000,000 additional shares approved for issuance under the Key Employee Plan.
On October 30, 1995, the Company filed a third registration statement (File No.
33-63803) to register 5,000,000 additional shares approved for issuance under
the Key Employee 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 Key Employee 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 total number of shares registered under the
Key Employee Plan is 92,000,000. As of December 31, 1998, 14,766,167 shares were
available for issuance under the Key Employee Plan.

               Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed (under
Instruction E to Form S-8) to de-register 14,766,167 shares previously
registered for the Key Employee Plan (File No. 33-63803) 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.

  24      Power of  Attorney. (Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 24 to the
          Registrant's Registration Statement No. 33-63803 on Form S-8).
