           Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer and
        Principal Financial Officer Regarding Facts and Circumstances
                       Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, Vasant M. Prahbu, Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) of
Safeway, Inc., state and attest that:

(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of
Safeway Inc., and, except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered
report:

      - no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as
        of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
        report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on
        which it was filed); and

      - no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
        statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under
        which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered
        by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
        proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with Safeway Inc.'s audit
committee.

(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before
the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

      - Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2002
        of Safeway Inc.;

      - all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
        proxy materials of Safeway Inc. filed with the Commission subsequent to
        the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

      - any amendments to any of the foregoing.

                                             Subscribed and sworn to before me
                                             this 13 day of Aug., 20002.
