Your best bet is to use Tools-> FindAndReplace to change all
transactions with Safeway as the payee and that wrong category to
Groceries.

Keep an extra backup in case you want to undo something.

Default wrong category assignment

Ordinarily Money assigns the Groceries category to charges at Safeway, but
on one occasion it was a prescription which I wanted to assign to medical
expense. Sinve then, all the grocery charges have been categorized that
way. Is there anyway that I can retrieve those transactions and make a mass
change to groceries, so that when I create a budget I will have accurate
figures?
