Amazon buys Whole Foods for $13.7bn

I buy a lot more grocery items online than I used to.

My favorite brand of picked hot peppers? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry them anymore.
My wife’s favorite cereal? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry it anymore.
Plain sodium free rice cakes? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry them anymore.
Our favorite barbecue sauce? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry it anymore.
Our favorite popcorn? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry it anymore.
Regular Ivory dish soap? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry it anymore.
Lysol concentrate? None of the brick and mortar groceries I go to carry it anymore.

I could list twenty more items easily. Wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve read on Amazon - “My family has used this wonderful (name of product) for three generations. It’s completely disappeared from all stores. Thank goodness I have found it here!!!”
