Big Box Deliveries

By on March 29, 2013 in Ideas

Groceries in Manhattan are so expensive that one guy with a truck has started a business delivering groceries. He will go to Costco and split the savings with you.

Each Non-Perishable item for sale has a “Costco” price and the “Average New York City” price for the exact same item but with Costco-sized bulk packing. For instance, Charmin costs $20.19 at Costco for 30 rolls. If a customer were to purchase 30 rolls in New York City, on average, the price would be $42.18. We split the savings. The customer pays $31.19 and saves $11. The Average New York City price is derived from real prices at Fresh Direct, Fairway, Gristedes, D’Agostino’s, Food Emporium, Whole Foods, Duane Reade™, CVS, Staples, Petco, and Diapers.com. Where there is no direct comparison for items, we use the overall average difference of 147.42% to calculate your final price.

    That is a great idea! That is the kind of business that needs to expand to other places. I know I can’t be the only person who wishes there was something like that where they live.

    I agree that is a great idea. why not take full advantage of someone willing to help you out with saving on your groceries and staple needs? I mean every little bit of help now a days really counts and adds up to a big savings after a while. not to mention it saves you also on time and gas money.
