Its kind of interesting if Walmart and/or Costco has squeezed prices so low that you could potentially use it as the basis for informal neighborhood bulk buying co-op. Like an Uber app which coordinated grocery buying and splitting up bulk packaged foods into smaller purchase sizes.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoI believe that's a thing for alibaba already
- somethoughts 2y agoI don't think alibaba handles grocery as far as I know - at least in the US. Probably it is most similar to Instacart/Amazon Grocery delivery but the issue with these is that they are more oriented toward high value, high convenience, high immediacy, highly customizable orders for groceries items. The flip side would be a set time (i.e. Saturday or Sunday), a set location (i.e. local school parking lot), a set number of bulk items (i.e. eggs, bread, pasta, chicken legs, ground beef, milk).

- KennyBlanken 2y agoThere's still a pretty hefty difference between retail and wholesale. Call around your local distributors and ask if they'll work with a food buyers club.
