Title: Amazon .com takes over the world.
Post by: who can tell on June 12, 2016, 04:43:59 PM

Amazon going into food to take on the giants of the food world. Amazon 'Fresh' has arrived in the UK with their promise of fresh food on your doorstep but they have only taken 8 % of the Unites States food market so far. Who fancy's doing their food shopping online?

Same here handy.
I'm thinking the word 'fresh' can mean not in tins or frozen - but there is fresh which is not quite at it's best and fresh which is in good condition.
Cauliflower is a good example, I will only buy if it's 'white' ( not turning yellow ) and the leaves folded over it.

Buy from Amazon - or anywhere else on line and you don't know until it's delivered.

I'm sure some people like the online supermarket shopping personally I don't. I like to see  what I'm buying plus like to look for offers like most families we are on a budget . The one upside when we lived at Sheffield was we could get deals at the Moor Market especially near closing time like on bread , fruit and veg as the stall holders wanted to get rid so often got them cheaper.
