GROCERIES
Think Amazon isn’t a great place to get groceries? You’re not alone. In a 2017 Reuters/Ipsos survey of more than 9,000 people, only 2.6 percent said online retailers like Amazon have the most affordable prices. Local grocers also won by a large margin on selection, quality, and even convenience.
While Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods signals a desire to compete long-term, for now, your wallet will thank you for continuing to shop for groceries offline.
