Albertsons Weekly Ad This Week

Albertsons, Safeway, Vons: who's who behind the weekly ad

A lot of "albertsons" searches are really identity questions. People type "albertsons is vons," "does albertsons own safeway" and "albertsons is kroger." Let's sort it out. Albertsons Companies is a Boise, Idaho-based grocer that Wikipedia calls the second-largest supermarket chain in the United States, with 2,271 locations as of December 2023. It operates under many banners, including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, Star Market, Acme Markets, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Pavilions, United Supermarkets and Lucky. So yes, Safeway and Vons are part of the same company. And Kroger? Not any more. The two agreed to a roughly $25 billion merger in October 2022, but federal and state courts blocked it, and the deal was terminated on December 11, 2024. Albertsons then sued Kroger over the failed deal.

Why this matters for you: the weekly ad you see depends on where you live and which banner your local store flies. Searches such as "albertsons weekly ad las vegas" or "albertsons weekly ad phoenix" are really about regional editions. The US weekly ads hub shows other grocers side by side.

Albertsons weekly ad schedule: Wednesday launches

On AdsSOS, editions typically start on a Wednesday. The one running now is the Albertsons Weekly Ad for 10/21 to 10/27 2026, eight pages. Two longer books sit with it: the Big Book of Savings (09/29 to 10/26, 15 pages) and an Entertaining Guide, 24 pages, that our feed lists as starting November 19. Albertsons' own site says the weekly ad page is refreshed every week, and the Entertaining Guide is a sign the company is already planning for holiday hosting.

for U, digital offers and the app

Albertsons' loyalty setup is called for U. From the company's pages: you add digital offers to your account online or in the Albertsons Deals & Delivery app before shopping, and the savings are applied automatically once you enter your loyalty phone number at checkout. Coupons loaded to your account aren't included in any double-coupon promotion. For online orders on albertsons.com, account-loaded digital coupons are the only coupons accepted.

This answers a common stack of questions: "albertsons coupons not working," "albertsons how to use digital coupons" and "does albertsons have an app." Yes, there's an app, and the steps above are the reason offers often don't show up at the register: you have to add them first. Some of the pages we read are older, so confirm current terms in the app.

Pickup, delivery and what a store page shows

Curbside is a heavy search topic ("is albertsons curbside pickup free," "what time does albertsons curbside pickup close"). One Albertsons store page we reviewed, in Central Point, Oregon, lists DriveUp & Go grocery pickup and delivery among its services, plus a Starbucks cafe, lottery, a deli and custom cakes. Costs and pickup windows vary, so check the pickup screen for your own store.

Hours, Sundays and Thanksgiving at Albertsons

Hours aren't uniform. The same Central Point store is open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, including Sunday, with a shorter Sunday pharmacy schedule (10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., then 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.). Other locations differ, which is why "albertsons hours on sunday" and "albertsons pharmacy sunday hours" are better answered by your local page. We found no official Thanksgiving notice, so call the store or use the locator before the holiday on Nov. 26, 2026.

Albertsons return policy and the own-brands guarantee

The page we could verify is the Own Brands Quality Guaranteed policy, "Love It or It's on Us." For Albertsons' private-label products, the company guarantees 100% satisfaction and offers a full refund of the purchase price if you contact it within 90 days with a receipt. Delivery fees, tips and regulatory fees such as bag fees are excluded, and refunds on promotional purchases are based on the price you paid. Alcohol returns are limited to locations that accept them, need an in-store receipt, and require the customer to be 21 or older. WIC purchases can't be refunded by law; only exact-brand, exact-size food exchanges are allowed, and EBT purchases are refunded to the EBT card. Popular store brands include Signature Select, O Organics, Lucerne, Open Nature and Primo Taglio. For anything else, such as "albertsons return policy without receipt," ask the store.

Company snapshot

Joe Albertson founded the company in Boise on July 21, 1939, and it is still headquartered there. Before its 2015 merger with Safeway, it ran 1,075 supermarkets in 29 states under 12 banners. Today it is a conventional grocer, so we file it under Supermarkets weekly ads.

Other grocery ads worth comparing

If Albertsons doesn't have a store near you, one of its sister banners might, such as the Acme weekly ad this week. Others to check: King Soopers weekly ad, Fred Meyer weekly ad, Lucky Supermarkets weekly ad and the Meijer weekly ad this week. Compare start dates, because they rarely line up.
