                         Independent Auditors' Report

  Administrative Committee
  SUPERVALU INC.
  Eden Prairie, Minnesota:

  We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
  benefits of the SUPERVALU Pre-tax Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan)
  as of February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999, and the related statements of
  changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the fiscal years then
  ended. 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 audits 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 February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999, and the changes in net assets
  available for plan benefits for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity
  with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                              PROFIT SHARING PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                    February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999



(1)  The Plan

     The following description of the SUPERVALU Pre-tax Savings and Profit
     Sharing Plan (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 profit sharing plan and is subject to
     the provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
     1974 (ERISA).

     The Plan was established for employees of SUPERVALU INC. and certain
     subsidiaries (SUPERVALU). For fiscal year 1999, all nonunion employees,
     unless such union agreement specifically provides for their inclusion in
     the Plan, age 21 or older who have completed one year of service with
     SUPERVALU with at least 1,000 hours in each year may participate. Eligible
     employees can enroll in the Plan on the next enrollment date. Effective
     March 1, 1999, plan eligibility begins after 250 hours worked in a 90-day
     period and the attainment of the age of 21. In addition, employees are
     automatically enrolled in the plan after satisfying the eligibility rules
     unless the participant specifically notifies SUPERVALU.

     The Plan allows for employee contributions under Section 401(k) of the
     Internal Revenue Code, under which participants may contribute from 2% to
     15% of their recognized compensation to the Plan. Employee contributions
     are limited by Internal Revenue Service limitations of $10,000 in fiscal
     2000 and 1999. Participant contributions up to 5% of their recognized
     compensation are matched at a rate of 20% by SUPERVALU. An additional
     discretionary matching contribution of up to 5% of a participant's
     contribution may be made by SUPERVALU depending upon the performance of
     each profit center. Except in the case of death, disability or retirement
     after the age of 62, the additional matching is earned by any participant
     having worked 1,000 hours during the plan year and employed on the last day
     of the plan year.

     All amounts contributed by employees are 100% vested at all times. Employer
     contributions are vested 20% after two years, 40% after three years, 60%
     after four years, and 100% at five years. Forfeitures of nonvested amounts
     shall be used to pay Plan expenses or restore forfeited accounts of rehired
     participants. Any remaining amounts are used to reduce the employer
     contributions. Participant and employer matching contributions may be
     directed into one or more of the five funds within the SUPERVALU INC.
     401(k) Master Trust (the 401(k) Master Trust) for fiscal year 1999: (a) the
     SUPERVALU INC. Fixed Fund, (b) the Equity Index Fund, (c) the Brinson
     Global Equity Fund, (d) the Wedge Small Cap Fund and (e) the SUPERVALU
     Common Stock Fund. Effective March 1, 1999, two additional funds were added
     as options to participants. The two additional funds are the Roxbury Mid
     Cap Equity Fund and the Nicholas Applegate International Equity Fund.

     Effective March 1999 and May 1999, respectively, SUPERVALU merged the Hyper
     Shoppes, Inc. Savings Trust Plan (Hyper Shoppes) and the Foodland
     Distributors Future Plus Plan (Foodland) into the Plan. Transfers from
     other plans of $18,091,188 included conversions of $14,351,708 and
     $3,739,480 for the Hyper Shoppes and Foodland plans, respectively.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                    February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999


     Effective December 1, 1998, the 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) from other plans within the Master Trust of
     $(642,757) and $8,296,490 in fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively,
     reflect the net result of these participant plan transfers.

     Although SUPERVALU has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it
     may do so at any time. Each participant's account would immediately vest
     and the balance would be distributed to the participant in full upon
     termination.

     Benefits under the Plan are payable in lump sum.

     Participants currently employed by SUPERVALU 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.

     Loans are available to all participants of the Plan and may not exceed the
     lesser of 50% of the vested amount of the borrower's total account or
     $50,000. The interest rate on any loan shall be equal to the prime rate as
     published by the Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the
     calendar month in which the loan was granted, plus 1%. Principal and
     interest are repaid monthly through payroll deductions, and the maximum
     term of any loan is five years. Loan interest rates range from 8.75% to
     10.00%.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Basis of Presentation

          The financial statements of the SUPERVALU Pre-tax Savings and Profit
          Sharing Plan (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.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                    February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999


     (d)  Expenses

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

(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 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 in the 401(k) Master Trust. The Trustee has been granted
     discretionary authority concerning the purchases and sales of the
     investments.

     The 401(k) Master Trust also administers the SUPERVALU Retail Employees'
     401(k) Plan, SUPERVALU Wholesale Employees' 401(k) Plan, the Wetterau
     Incorporated Moneybuilder Plan and Trust for Collective Bargaining
     Employees, the SUPERVALU Retail Operations Profit Sharing and Super Saver
     Plan, and the SUPERVALU Pittsburgh Division Profit Sharing 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' 401(k) Plan.

     The Trustee allocates interest and investment income and net realized gains
     and losses 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
     Department of Labor 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. The Loan Fund, however, is based on the actual
     participant loan activity for each plan. 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.

(6)  Federal Income Tax Status

     The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
     Revenue Service dated June 9, 1998, indicating that the Plan meets 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. SUPERVALU believes the Plan
     continues to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code 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.

(7)  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.
