Needless to say, Amazon is concentrating mainly on things that don’t require much in the preservation department. So you won’t exactly be finding a replacement for your local supermarket’s produce or butcher departments (besides, there’s always Omaha Steaks for that). And the quantities are more tuned to “survival shelter” amounts than, say, “studio apartment” (unless, of course, you have a need and room for a 6-pack of 16-Ounce Kraft Blue Cheese salad dressing).
Also, you’ll find that many familiar brands are lacking, so instead of Aunt Jemima’s syrup, for example, we’re stuck with “Sorbee Sugar-Free Maple-Flavored Pancake Syrup.” I think I’ll just go hit my local supermarket.
