Prime Pantry Self Analysis

Decent Essays
I giggled when I read your experience, as I also experienced the Prime Pantry recently. However, I purchased items that I knew were better or equal to the dollar amount at BJs, minus the long wait in line.
The ability to purchase food online, including the perishables makes me a little weary. I need to see the expiration date, pick out the produce, etc. Some things take a little getting use to when it comes to items for consumption.
Nevertheless, I understand your point in that Amazon is dabbling in the food industry.

    I can admit that since having a newborn here with a 5 year old it's gotten out of control. Sometimes things make it back in the pantry, and sometimes they don't. With all that being said I needed to organize that eye sore that we call a pantry, and I didn't want to spend a ton! Unfortunately being based in Alaska we don't have stores like back in the lower 48. Target's Dollar Spot is definitely the answer, and I love the outcome!…

    For my leadership project, I decided to collect donations from the Trumbull Food Pantry. To organize it, I went on Trumbull’s town website home page to get a list of the most needed items from the pantry. From there, I was able to talk to my mom and her administration assistant to put a box in their office so people could drop off their donations. To inform people about this, I drafted an email and my mom sent it out from her work email address with everyone on her team in it informing them about what I was doing and what donations the Trumbull Food Pantry was asking for. My mom’s work team was involved, my mom was involved, I was involved, and the Trumbull Food Pantry, specifically Jennifer Gillis and Monica Valejo in the Social Services Department,…

    Our partner in the fight against hunger, Jewish Family & Community Services (JFCS), runs a food pantry that caters to the needs of over 8,600 people in five counties. JFCS annually serves about 77,000 meals to low-income adults and families who struggle with hunger. In addition, the JFCS provides referrals to other community programs than can provide housing, clothes, childcare and health care, among other things (Cravey, 2015). While 77,000 meals sounds like a lot, it’s not enough to satisfy the needs of the community. There are times when the normal 20 to 30 daily visitors swell to over 200, leaving the pantry’s cupboards bare (Cravey, 2015).…

    For those who are Vegetarian, Vegan, or Gluten Free, the app’s coupon system tends to focus mostly on offers that are meat based driven. An example is on the IOS app store’s Whole Foods app screenshots. The customer is presented with a coupon for the Bakery Department featuring a sale on cookies, without any specification on if this offer includes a “Gluten Free” option. The next coupon offer is for “$5 Off Epic Meat Snacks, Bone Broths, and Animal Oils”. This is off-putting to those who are non-meat eaters.…

    have gone to the Boulevard food pantry many times with my mom because she volunteers there and I go and volunteer with her. The first time I went I remember feeling scared and thinking what if these people are intimidating to me or they are mean. It turns out I was completely wrong. The clients were very nice, and appreciative that we were taking time out of our schedules to help them. The clients are always so grateful for the people that are helping them.…

    I decided to pick the 65 year old woman with hypertension. At Walmart, I was able to buy everything included in my meal plan and still have 19 dollars remaining. Having an illness, and being older in age plays a drastic role in eating habits, which is why a lot of snacks were not purchased. Most of the foods that were purchased were either fruits, vegetables, or canned goods. The meal plans were made with the illness in mind, and how certain foods could be more harmful than helpful.…

    By having everything online rather than in the store, it’s easier for Peapod to organize its products to attack one segment without sacrificing the others. By doing this, Peapod can still keep the 30,000 items available for the shopper that wants (or thinks they want) variety, and for marketing purposes. At the same time, Peapod can keep this variety limited to only the stock-up shopper that really wants to see it. For example, Peapod can use “disguised words” to separate the shopper segments. A tab or section that is labeled “essential express lane” or something with a similar name could be used to target the quick customers that are known to purchase certain products.…

However, by insourcing its fulfilment and distribution, it is actually incurring a very high expense which directly contribute towards its low profitability. Besides, Amazon also have another competitive advantage over its rivals in that it is practically a company which has everything linked up together. In other words, Amazon produces and sell a wide range of products ranging from e-books to fashion and apparel, Amazon (Echo) Alexa, music, video-on-demand and most importantly, the Kindle.…
