Safeway AIP Shopping List (with printable PDF)

If you shop at Safeway and you're following the autoimmune protocol, this Safeway AIP shopping list is for you! AIP is a stricter form of Paleo, so if you're following a broader Paleo diet, this list will work for you too. It just doesn't include things like nuts, nightshades, certain spices, and eggs.

Safeway is owned by Albertson's. If you don't have a Safeway nearby, you may shop at one of the the other stores owned by Albertson's. These include:

• Albertson's
• Von's
• Jewel Osco
• Acme
• Shaw's
• Tom Thumb
• Randall's
• Market Street
• Kings
• Haggen
• Andronico's
• Balducci's
• Amigo's
• Lucky

I can't guarantee that they'll carry exactly the same products listed here but you'll likely find quite a few similar items. Even if you are shopping at Safeway, please keep in mind that available products will vary by location.

This list is meant for the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol. There are a few reintros but I've noted them next to those items.

For other store-specific AIP shopping lists, check out the Whole Foods AIP Shopping List, Walmart AIP Shopping List, Trader Joe's AIP Shopping List, Sam's Club Shopping List, Trader Joe's AIP Shopping List, Aldi AIP Shopping List, Sprouts AIP Shopping List, Meijer AIP Shopping List, and more.

For more info about the AIP diet and what food items to look for, check out the Beginner's Guide to the Autoimmune Protocol and AIP Pantry Items.

If you need to see what a product looks like or need to see an ingredient label, you can find them on the Safeway website.

I've made enough lists now that I'm making lists for stores that are not necessarily in my area. This means I'm relying more on the store websites for ingredient and availability info. While this info is pretty good, it's always best to double check labels when you buy. Let's get to the list!

Note about the GT's Kombuchas- when I first looked on their site, Safeway had tons of different GT's Kombuchas. However, when I looked a few days later, they only had a couple varieties. I don't know if they actually carry a bunch of different ones in-store on not. If you buy these at Safeway, I'd love to hear what kind of GT's selection your store has- please leave me a note in the comments!

**Just a heads up if you do have a bunch of GT's at your store- There are lots of compliant ones however, I also saw some non-compliant ones as well. Basically, all of GT's “Classic” kombuchas are not compliant due having cane sugar. The Synergy MultiGreen is a "no" due to spirulina (and a couple other things) and the Tangerine Dream is a no due to vanilla extract (company confirmed the extract contains alcohol).
