"Gone are the days where shoppers have to clip coupons, browse through ads or promotional flyers, or bring a handwritten shopping list to the store.

weekly
-- View filtered and sorted Safeway weekly Club Card Specials on items a
shopper buys regularly
-- Create a personalized shopping list on a mobile device or on the Just
