As a seattle resident who lived here a year ago and moved back again. I have a few things to add to this ...
1. Amazon Fresh prices one year ago were pretty high, they have driven costs down on everything except produce.
2. I live close to a City Target and have been avoiding Amazon Fresh because I thought the target was cheaper. Yesterday I took my $100 grocery bill and recreated it on Amazon Fresh, and excluding produce, it was $89.00. I was shocked to see the prices were cheaper for most things.
3. The delivery is free for $100 purchases, so you can't use it like regular amazon (or amazon prime).
4. The delivery times range from 5 am in the morning to late in the evening.
5. The packaging is often reuse able, plastic containers or clothe-bags and so you can leave outside and the delivery folks will pickup the old packaging, this is much more sustainable than regular amazon cardboard packaging.
6. Living in a city, it is easier and cheaper to buy in bulk of Amazon Fresh, because they prefer selling in larger quantities. Some items have 2 or 4 quantity minimums. If you don't have a car this is fantastic.

- bbgm 13y agoAfter having a baby, I started using Amazon Fresh heavily. 5 am deliveries are awesome, and the costs are < PCC or Whole Foods, and you occasionally get some pretty interesting stuff. It's not perfect, but it has replaced pretty much most of our produce shopping with the exception of specific "ethnic" items.
