[nagdu] Managing Groceries and Other Large Purchases

[Doug Parisian]

Good idea, only thing is that many folks don't have that service 
available.  Further, there is often a charge if one doesn't order a 
specific amount, while others charge regardless of how much one spends.

I am in fact an amazon shopper but their grocery service is not fully 
implemented in Canada.  Even if and when it is, I suspect from browsing 
that most of their items will be seriously processed/prepared foods.  I 
did notice some good deals on bothersome items like paper towels, 
bathroom tissues, nose wipes, dish and laundry soap but it seems that on 
must have some kind of reordering plan to gain any discounts.  It's 
cheaper to feed my friend in these cases and hit a place like Costco for 
a years supply of such items.
