Amazon to Launch Online Grocery Store

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bad-acid-flashbacks dept.

Aryabhata writes "It might sound like a bad flashback to the dot-com days, but news is that Amazon is planning to test the waters with an old idea; the online grocery store!. To its defense Amazon is only attempting this with nonperishables like peanut butter, potato chips, and canned soup implying that there's no refrigeration required--ordinary warehouse shelves will do fine."

    Yeah, but do you really want to pay shipping on a single item? Though, if you use the service a lot, Amazon Prime (if supported) might not be a bad idea.

    And in the UK there's always Ocado.
