                                SUPERVALU INC.
                            ANNUAL CASH BONUS PLAN
                       FOR DESIGNATED CORPORATE OFFICERS


1.   Definitions.  When the following terms are used herein with initial capital
letter, they shall have the following meanings:

     1.1  Bonus Pool Amount.  An amount from which bonuses as provided herein
          may be paid equal to two and eight-tenths percent (2.8%) of the
          Company's earnings before income taxes for the Performance Period for
          which bonuses are being paid, as computed in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time and as
          applied by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
          For purposes of the foregoing computation, changes in generally
          accepted accounting principles which occur during a Performance Period
          shall not be taken into account, and extraordinary items, discontinued
          operations and restructuring costs, as computed in accordance with
          generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to
          time and as applied and reported by the Company in the preparation of
          its financial statements, shall also not be taken into account.

     1.2  Committee.  A committee of the Board of Directors comprised solely of
          two or more members appointed from time to time by the Board of
          Directors.  To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, at
          all times following the 1995 annual meeting of stockholders of the
          Company, all members of the Committee shall be "outside directors"
          within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

     1.3  Code   The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from
          time to time, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury
          Regulations promulgated thereunder.

     1.4  Company.  SUPERVALU INC., a Delaware corporation, and any of its
          subsidiaries or affiliates whether now or hereafter established.

     1.5  Participant.  The Chief Executive Officer and four other key employees
          of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates who are
          designated by the Committee pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof as
          Participants in this Plan.

     1.6  Performance Period.  The period which coincides with the Company's
          fiscal year.

     1.7  Company Performance Factor.  The Company's "return on invested
          capital" must be at least eight percent (8%) for the Performance
          Period for which bonuses are being paid.  For purposes of the
          foregoing computation, "return on invested capital" means a fraction
          with a
<PAGE>

          numerator equal to earnings before income taxes for that Performance
          Period as computed in accordance with Section 1.1 above but before
          interest expense, and with a denominator equal to the sum of the
          company's interest-bearing short-term borrowings, interest-bearing
          long-term debt, stockholders equity and the present value of capital
          and operating leases, all as computed in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time and as
          applied and reported by the Company in the preparation of its
          financial statements. Such denominator shall be computed as of the
          last day of the Company's fiscal year which ends immediately before
          the beginning of a Performance Period and as of the last day of the
          fiscal year which coincides with the Performance Period, and the sum
          of the forgoing amounts shall then be divided by two in order to
          determine such denominator.

2.   Administration.

     2.1  Committee.  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

     2.2  Determinations made prior to each Performance Period.  Prior to each
          Performance Period, or solely in the case of the Performance Period
          which begins February 27, 1994, prior to April 1, 1994, the Committee
          shall designate Participants for that Performance Period.

     2.3  Certification.  Following the close of each Performance Period and
          prior to payment of any bonus under the Plan, the Committee must
          certify in writing that the Company Performance Factor has been
          attained and as to the computation of the Bonus Pool Amount.

     2.4  Shareholder Approval.  The material terms of this Plan shall be
          disclosed to and approved by the stockholders of the Company in
          accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code.  No bonus shall be paid
          under this Plan unless such stockholder approval has been obtained.

3.  Bonus Payment.

     3.1. Formula.  Subject to Section 3.2(b) hereof, the Chief Executive
          Officer of the Company shall receive a bonus, payable in cash or
          Company stock, for each Performance Period in an amount equal to
          twenty-eight (28%) of the Bonus Pool Amount for that Performance
          Period, and each of the four other Participants in this Plan for a
          Performance Period shall receive a bonus, payable in cash or Company
          stock, for each Performance Period in an amount equal to eighteen
          percent (18%) of the Bonus Pool Amount for that Performance Period.

     3.2  Limitations.

          (a)  No payment if Performance Factor not achieved.  In no event shall
               any Participant receive a bonus payment hereunder if the Company
               Performance Factor is not achieved during the Performance Period.

          (b)  Committee may reduce bonus payment.  The Committee retains sole
               discretion to reduce the amount of any bonus otherwise payable
               under this Plan.  If and to the extent permitted by Section
               162(m) of the Code, the Bonus Pool Amount in a subsequent
               Performance Period shall be increased by any portion of the Bonus
               Pool Amount of a prior Performance Period which has not been paid
               or credited to or for the benefit of Participants hereunder.

4.   Benefit Payments.

     4.1  Time and Form of Payments.  Subject to any deferred compensation
          election pursuant to any such plans of the Company applicable hereto,
          benefits shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum cash
          payment as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has
          certified that the Company Performance Factor has been attained.

     4.2  Nontransferability.  Participants and beneficiaries shall not have the
          right to assign, encumber or otherwise anticipate the payments to be
          made under this Plan, and the benefits provided hereunder shall not be
          subject to seizure for payment of any debts or judgments against any
          Participant or any beneficiary.

     4.3  Tax Withholding.  In order to comply with all applicable federal or
          state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action
          as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state
          payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and
          absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected
          from such Participant.

5.   Amendment and Termination.  The Committee may amend this Plan prospectively
     at any time and for any reason deemed sufficient by it without notice to
     any person affected by this Plan and may likewise terminate or curtail the
     benefits of this Plan both with regard to persons expecting to receive
     benefits hereunder in the future and persons already receiving benefits at
     the time of such action.

6.   Miscellaneous.

     6.1  Effective Date.  February 27, 1994.

     6.2  Term of the Plan.  The plan shall continue until discontinued or
          terminated by the Committee.

     6.3  Headings.  Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the
          Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings
          shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the
          construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

     6.4  Applicability to Successors. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure
          to the benefit of the Company and each Participant, the successors and
          assigns of the Company, and the beneficiaries, personal
          representatives and heirs of each Participant. If the Company becomes
          a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization, this Plan
          shall remain in full force and effect as an obligation of the Company
          or its successors in interest.

     6.5  Employment Rights and Other Benefit Programs.  The provisions of this
          Plan shall not give any Participant any right to be retained in the
          employment of the Company.  In the absence of any specific agreement
          to the contrary, this Plan shall not affect any right of the Company,
          or of any affiliate of the Company, to terminate, with or without
          cause, the Participant's employment at any time.  This Plan is in
          addition to, and not in lieu of, any other employee benefit plan or
          program in which any Participant may be or become eligible to
          participate by reason of employment with the Company.  Receipt of
          benefits hereunder shall have such effect on contributions to and
          benefits under such other plans or programs as the provisions of each
          such other plan or program may specify.

     6.6  No Trust or Fund Created.  This Plan shall not create or be construed
          to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
          relationship between the Company or any affiliate and a Participant or
          any other person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to
          receive payments from the Company or any affiliate pursuant to this
          Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
          general creditor of the Company or of any affiliate.

     6.7  Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of the Plan or
          any bonus payable under the Plan shall be determined in accordance
          with the internal laws, and not the laws of conflicts, of the State of
          Minnesota.

     6.8  Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed
          to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction such
          provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
          applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended
          without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering
          the purpose or intent of the Plan, such provision shall be stricken as
          to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in
          full force and effect.

     6.9  Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.  All of the terms and
          conditions of the Plan shall be interpreted in such a fashion as to
          qualify all compensation paid hereunder as "qualified performance-
          based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
