When we hear the term, "online shopping," we tend to think of consumer products like clothing, accessories, electronics and the like. Buying fresh foods to your door -- well, that almost seems a bit questionable. But many businesses have tapped into that market and found a way to give customers what they really want, blurring the lines of grocery shopping and e-commerce.If you've shopped online before, then you've surely heard of the e-tailer giant, Amazon. What's unique about Amazon is that they've partnered up with many food producers so that just with a simple click of a button, grocery shopping is complete! AmazonFresh delivers to your doorstep fresh produce, meat and seafood, artisan chocolates, beer and wine, and more. You can even purchase fresh, wholesome frozen meals like these from LYFE Kitchen. So what's the catch? Well, at this time, this service is only offered in the Greater Seattle area!'So for those of you who do not live in the area, and are wine enthusiasts, there's still some good news for you! Amazon has just launched their beta wine marketplace on Amazon.com so you can shop online for artisan wines from Napa Valley, Washington State, California to name a few. Shipping is only to the states of California, Washington, Washington D.C., Connecticut, Idaho, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Nebraska, Oregon and Wyoming.
