A GROCERY store and its parent company have to shell out $107million to shoppers after a lawsuit.
Safeway and Albertsons were accused of tricking customers into thinking they were getting a buy-one, get-one-or-two-free (BOGO) deal in Oregon.


The deal was specifically aimed at Club Card members, who believed they were getting free items.
Two shoppers filed the suit in 2016, alleging the grocery store deceptively raised the prices of meat to pass along the cost of the "free" items to shoppers, reports Top Class Actions.
The suit offered several examples, such as when the store typically sold boneless pork chops for $4.49 a pound, but that was inflated to $12.99 a pound under the BOGO deal.
Prices were inflated on beef, chicken, and pork.

The companies have not admitted to any wrongdoing but did agree the settlement will be paid to those customers who bought meat at Oregon Albertsons and Safeway stores using the Safeway Club Card.
Members of the suit will receive an equal share of the settlement, estimated to be $200.
Those who shopped these "deals" with a Safeway Club Card between May 4, 2015, and September 7, 2016 are eligible to make a claim.
The deadline to submit a claim is June 16, according to the settlement site.

CLOSING TIME
This comes just after a Safeway location in San Francisco announced it will be closing down after nearly three decades.
The store will close on or around May 27, the company announced.
“We continuously evaluate the performance of our stores, and occasionally it's necessary to close locations that aren't meeting financial expectations,” they added.
Customers told NBC Bay Area that they will “miss the convenience of having a Safeway on one corner and a Trader Joe's on the other.”
All employees have been given the choice to transfer to other locations.
Another settlement is offering $353 one-time payments.
Plus, see the $4million settlement offering payments of $5,750.
