In your experience, Amazon Fresh vs Safeway/Whatever?

[TridenT]

So far Amazon Fresh is looking OK (The local Safeway gouges students), but I don't ever buy $100+ in groceries to qualify for free shipping... I can't eat the items that will expire fast enough. Also, another thing is, I live in an apartment. If they leave the groceries outside of my door, it's being left right on the sidewalk. Anyone could steal that shit. :hmm:

I hate the local Safeway, but there's not any viable alternatives in my area. I can't even buy JIF peanut butter because they only sell their 'safeway' brand of peanut butter in larger containers now. bastards...

Safeway natural peanut butter > JIF anyway.

My sister uses Full Circle for fruits and veggies, instead of Amazon Fresh. That's even with my bro-in-law (her husband) working for Amazon, if that says anything.

Went to Safeway. Jesus, Amazon is pretty bad on pricing too. I was looking on Amazon before and was like, "These prices don't seem great, but I can't recall the specifics of the prices on the items at Safeway either..." Holy fuck, Amazon gouges on some shit. $1.60 for baking powder at Safeway is like $2.50 on Amazon, IIRC. I was like, "Wow... Safeway, not so bad now."

Since you're in Seattle aren't you eligible for free Amazon shipping using that courier service they have?

I don't think so? I thought they charged even if you lived in Seattle. Only free if you order over a certain amount.

It looks like they're killing the service in March. https://tote.amazon.com/AmazonToteLearnMore?refId=
