Noodles and Rice

Amazon Grocery

by Stef on June 13th, 2007

I have been denying this for the longest time. But Amazon is the behemoth that no one can avoid. I always search for the best prices on everything and sometimes, sometimes, other folks beat Amazon. But they’ve become this one-stop shop. It’s like Walmart (only nicer, and with a better selection) come to my front door. Heck, if I didn’t have Jungle Jim’s 10 minutes from me, this would be the next best thing. Come winter they might seem more attractive than they do now. You can find things like rice (even sticky rice, though there’s only one brand right now), seaweed, Asian mixes, condiments and sauces, and Oy! Spend $25 and you get free shipping? I spend at least several times that in a week, feeding a family of 6. I’m looking forward to more varied choices, as I can only buy so much packaged stuff. Heh. Think one day they’ll sell tuna for sushi? Whoops — wait — they do! Although…. I wouldn’t trust that selection just yet. But the rest? I’m impressed. Search for “matcha” and you’ll see what I mean.
