Albertsons and its family of stores are asking that people respect the shopping limits listed on store tags and not to purchase more items than they need.
Supply restocks
Albertsons stores are restocking and replenishing items as quickly as possible, mostly overnight, so your best bet for finding high-demand products like toilet paper and hand sanitizer in stock is by shopping early in the morning.

Albertsons pharmacy and prescriptions
You can order prescription refills online through Albertsons’ Digital Pharmacy, and in some locations, you can even get your prescriptions delivered with ScriptDrop within 1 – 2 hours under normal circumstances. In response to COVID-19, Albertsons pharmacy has waived delivery fees until May 1. Your best bet for more savings is to check with your local Albertsons to see if delivery is available.
Albertsons pickup and delivery
Pickup
Most Albertsons locations offer grocery pickup; however, due to low inventory, your order might be delayed or get rescheduled. Unfortunately, there’s also a fee for Albertsons grocery pickup. Fees range from $3.95 – $4.95, depending on location, and there’s a minimum order of $30. Existing customers, you’re in luck! Often Albertsons will send promo codes for ordering pickup — check your email before your next order.
Delivery
Albertsons home delivery is powered by Instacart and is usually great at delivering your order within two hours. During coronavirus, however, expect delays. Delivery fees do still apply, but look for delivery promo codes on your local store’s website.
For Safeway Grocery Delivery, use promo code SAVE20 to get $20 off + free delivery on your first online order.
