Amazon is playing to win here. Tech: The Dash Wand [1] puts Alexa on your refrigerator and every time you scan an item, Amazon is building up a database of the most popular SKUs they should add to their warehouse.

My grocery bill went down about 20% [1]https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-All-New-Dash-Wand/dp/B015YEXOR2 https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-All-New-Dash-Wand/dp/B015YEXOR...
