     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D filed on
January 15, 1992 by Lennie Sam Skaggs and Aline W. Skaggs, husband and wife, and
the ALSAM Trust, formerly called the Lennie Sam and Aline Wilmot Skaggs Family
Trust (the "Trust").  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as
an admission that Lennie Sam Skaggs, Aline W. Skaggs or the Trust (collectively
the "Reporting Persons") are, for the purposes of section 13(d) or 13(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any
securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

     This report relates to the Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of American
Stores Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  The principal executive
offices of the Company are located at 709 East South Temple, Salt Lake City,
Utah  84127-0447.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

     The Reporting Persons are Lennie Sam Skaggs and Aline W. Skaggs, who are
husband and wife, and the Trust, who together may be deemed a "group" for
purposes of section 13(d)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Reporting Persons share a business address, which is 757 East South Temple,
Suite 250, Salt Lake City, Utah  84102.

     Mr. Skaggs' principal occupation is Chairman of the Board of the Company.
Mrs. Skaggs is a retired Director of the Company.

     During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).  During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons was a
party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment,
decree of final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

     Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs are citizens of the United States of America.  The
Trust is organized under the laws of the State of Utah.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

     The original filing on Schedule 13D resulted from the transfer of common
stock of the Company from a testamentary trust established by the father of Mr.
Skaggs to the Trust.   No consideration was given by Mr. or Mrs. Skaggs or the
Trust for such transfer.




Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     The original filing on Schedule 13D resulted from the transfer of common
stock of the Company from a testamentary trust established by the father of Mr.
Skaggs to the Trust.  The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in any of the items set forth in Item 4(a) through (j)
of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer

     (a)  As of November 26, 1994, the Company had outstanding 142,850,274
shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, as reported in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended October 29, 1994.  On the
date of this Schedule, the Reporting Persons may each be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the 24,515,008 shares of Common Stock held of record by the
Trust.  Such shares constitute 17.17% of the total outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock.
     (b)  Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs each have shared voting and shared dispositive
power with respect to the 24,515,008 shares held of record by the Trust.  The
Trust has shared dispositive power with respect to the 24,515,008 shares it
holds of record.

     (c)  None.

Item 6.        Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
Respect to the Securities of the Issuer

     The subject shares of the Company's common stock are held by the Trust
pursuant to the terms of a revocable trust agreement.  Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs share
voting power over such shares subject to the right of each of them to revoke the
Trust and receive back the shares they originally contributed to the Trust.
