                         Independent Auditors' Report

Administrative Committee
SUPERVALU INC.
Eden Prairie, Minnesota:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Wetterau Incorporated Moneybuilder Plan and Trust for Collective
Bargaining Employees (the Plan) as of January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999,
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the eleven months ended January 31, 2000 and the fiscal year ended February
28, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the eleven months ended January 31, 2000 and the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                    January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999

(1) Summary Description of the Plan

    The following description of the Wetterau Incorporated Moneybuilder Plan and
    Trust for Collective Bargaining Employees (the Plan) is provided for general
    information purposes only. Participants should refer to the summary plan
    description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of
    Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    The Plan was established October 1, 1992, for employees of Hazelwood Farms &
    St. Louis Wholesale Division of SUPERVALU, INC. (the Company). All employees
    who are members of a collective bargaining unit that have negotiated
    participation in the Plan and are age 21 or older and who have completed one
    year of service with the Company with at least 1,000 hours in each year may
    participate. Eligible employees may enroll in the Plan on the next
    enrollment date.

    The Plan allows for employee contributions under section 401(k) of the
    Internal Revenue Code under which participants may contribute from 1% to 15%
    of their recognized compensation to the Plan. These contributions are
    limited to Internal Revenue Service limitations of $10,000 in fiscal 2000
    and 1999.

    All amounts contributed by employees are 100% vested at all times.
    Participant contributions may be directed into one or more of four funds
    within the SUPERVALU INC. 401(k) Master Trust [the 401(k) Master Trust]: (a)
    the SUPERVALU INC. Fixed Fund, (b) the Equity Index Fund, (c) the Brinson
    Global Equity Fund, or (d) the Wedge Small Cap Fund. Effective March 1,
    1999, three additional funds were added as options to participants. The
    three additional funds are the Roxbury Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Nicholas
    Applegate International Equity Fund, and the SUPERVALU Common Stock Fund.

    Effective May 22, 1999, the operations of Hazelwood Farms were sold to the
    Pillsbury Company. For purposes of the Plan, all Hazelwood Farms
    participants were treated as terminated as of that date. Participants with
    balances greater than $5,000 were given the option of leaving their
    investment in the Plan. All participants were given the option of rolling
    their investment over to an IRA, one of the qualified plans offered by the
    Pillsbury Company, or receiving a lump sum payment. Transfers to other plans
    of $5,318,897 reflect this activity.

    Effective February 1, 2000, the Plan merged into the SUPERVALU Wholesale
    Employees' 401(k) Plan (formerly the SUPERVALU INC. Pittsburgh Division
    Union 401(k) Plan for Local Collective Bargaining Associates). Transfers to
    other plans within the Master Trust of $1,018,662 in 2000 represent the
    activity of this plan merger. As a result, the assets of the Plan at January
    31, 2000 are zero and the Plan is terminated.

    Effective December 1, 1998, the Plan accounts of participants who had
    previously transferred among plans within the 401(k) Master Trust were
    consolidated, resulting in each participant having only one account within
    the Master Trust. Transfers to other plans of $52,491 in 1999 reflect the
    net result of this activity in the Plan.

    Benefits under the Plan are payable in a lump sum.

                                                                     (Continued)

                    January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999

    Participants currently employed by the Company can withdraw their employee
    contributions and rollover contributions at any time. Participants may
    receive an in-service hardship distribution from the vested portion of their
    accounts after completing the appropriate application forms and receiving
    approval from the Administrative Committee.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    (a)  Basis of Presentation

         The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis
         of accounting.

    (b)  Investments

         Investment assets of the Plan are stated at current fair value.
         Investments in various funds represent the Plan's pro rata share of the
         quoted market value of the funds' net assets as reported by the
         Trustee.

         Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

    (c)  Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
         available for plan benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and
         liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
         amounts of changes in net assets available for plan benefits during the
         reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    (d)  Expenses

         The reasonable expenses of administering the Plan shall be payable out
         of the Plan's funds except to the extent that the Company, in its
         discretion, directly pays the expenses. The Company has paid certain
         administrative expenses of the Plan.

(3) Trustee

    Bankers Trust Company (the Trustee) has been appointed as Trustee and
    custodian of the Plan's assets. The trust agreement stipulates that the
    Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days' written notice to the
    Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may remove the
    Trustee at any time by giving 30 days' written notice of such action to the
    Trustee.

(4) Investments

    Under the terms of the trust agreement, the Trustee manages investments on
    behalf of the plans. In accordance with the trust agreement, certain assets
    of the Plan are held together with assets of other plans sponsored by
    SUPERVALU, INC. in the 401(k) Master Trust. The Trustee has been granted
    discretionary authority concerning the purchases and sales of the
    investments.

                                                                     (Continued)

                    January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999

    The 401(k) Master Trust administers the SUPERVALU Wholesale Employees'
    401(k) Plan, the SUPERVALU Retail Employees' 401(k) Plan, the SUPERVALU Pre-
    tax Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, the Pittsburgh Division Profit Sharing
    Plan, the Wetterau Incorporated Moneybuilder Plan and Trust for Collective
    Bargaining Employees, and SUPERVALU Retail Operations Profit Sharing and
    Super Saver Plan. On February 1, 2000, the Wetterau Incorporated
    Moneybuilder Plan and Trust for Collective Bargaining Employees merged into
    the SUPERVALU Wholesale Employees' 401(k) Plan. Also on February 1, 2000,
    the SUPERVALU Retail Operations Profit Sharing and Super Saver Plan merged
    into the SUPERVALU Retail Employees' 410(k) Plan.

    The Trustee allocates interest and investment income, and net appreciation
    (depreciation) in fair value to each of the funds in the 401(k) Master Trust
    based on the actual performance of each fund. The plans' assets are invested
    in the SUPERVALU INC. Fixed Fund, the Equity Index Fund, the Brinson Global
    Equity Fund, the Wedge Small Cap Fund, the Roxbury Mid Cap Equity Fund, the
    Nicholas Applegate International Equity Fund and the SUPERVALU Common Stock
    Fund. The Trustee also maintains a Short-Term Investment Fund, which is
    utilized as a clearing account for transactions. Financial information
    related to the 401(k) Master Trust is prepared and filed in accordance with
    the Department of Labor's regulations.

    The Plan record keeper (Hewitt Associates LLC) allocates interest and
    investment income, net realized (unrealized) gains and losses, and
    administrative expenses to each of the plans in the 401(k) Master Trust
    based upon the ratio of net assets of the Plan to the total net assets of
    the 401(k) Master Trust. Separate accounts are maintained by the record
    keeper for participants in each plan, and funds may be distributed to or
    withdrawn by participants in accordance with the appropriate plan's terms.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                    January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999

    At January 31, 2000 and February 28, 1999, the Plan held 0% and 1.6%,
    respectively, of the 401(k) Master Trust assets.

(5) Federal Income Tax Status

    The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
    Service dated November 14, 1995, indicating that the Plan met the
    requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and
    that the trust established in connection therewith is exempt from federal
    income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Company believes the Plan
    met the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code through the date it was
    merged into the SuperValu Wholesale Employees' 401(K) Plan (see Note 1) and
    that the related trust is exempt from income tax under Section 501(a) of the
    Code. Therefore, no provisions for income taxes have been made.

(6) Party-in-interest Transactions

    The Plan engages in transactions involving the acquisition and disposition
    of investment funds with Bankers Trust Company, the Trustee, and the 401(k)
    Master Trust, who are parties-in-interest with respect to the Plan. These
    transactions are covered by an exemption from the "prohibited transactions"
    provision of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

(7) Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

    The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per
    the financial statements to Form 5500:
