Im really hoping this deal lowers the cost of groceries at whole foods. i sort of doubt it but im still hopeful. amazon was already headed the grocery direction and whole foods has been on the market for a while so in a way it shouldnt have been so surprising.

in the future i imagine when you order your groceries online theyll jus tbe delivered same day if before a certain time. They already do this in some cities and they are constantly building new fulfillment centers to reach all areas of the US faster. This coupled with their expanding shipping fleet (trucks and now planes) i dont imagine it will take too long for it to be normal to get groceries delivered.

my local grocery store is kroger, who just came out with their "clicklist". Basically buuy what you want online and them park in the designated parking spaces and they bring your groceries out to you. From the looks of it, it has been very successful, and i can understand why it would be appealing to people.
