Isn't this how stores used to be run anyways? Give the list to the grocer, he get's your food ready, etc?

- snordgren 4y agoI've been wondering how much value could be generated if people could order their regular purchases months ahead of time. I am absolutely going to need to buy pasta three months from now. Why can't I purchase my pasta now and save the grocery store the effort of stocking the shelf just for me to pick it up? Long-term preordering could probably save labor and make demand forecasts more accurate. Just a thought.
- Scoundreller 4y agoYeah, a lot of stuff is seasonal, so there should be a deal to buy a hundred pounds of carrots in October vs April. Certainly the retailer pays differing prices or runs its own cold storage warehouse at a cost. I don't understand why Canadian and US prices are so sticky. In Europe, a frozen pepperoni pizza might cost you 3,78 EUR and the vegetarian will cost you 12 centimes less because the retailer passes on their differing costs. Meanwhile in Canada/USA, I'll take the 3-meat because it's the same price.

Be careful, even though they're the same "price", the net weights are different so they're not actually the same price.
