I was curious about the lower prices you mentioned. And it isn't the case for items I usually buy.

For instance, my local grocery store has 2 liter Diet Coke Caffeine Free for $0.99 (on sale, sure, but it occurs like clockwork every 2 weeks), while Amazon Fresh has it for $1.74. Plain bagels are $1.99 at the grocery store, while AF charges $3.24.

Could it be the case that your local grocery store is simply overpriced?

I think "grocery store at the bottom of my elevator" was a give away, they have to be in metro area and the grocery store has huge markups due to real estate costs.

Same with me. The cheaper factor is just brainwash marketing machine or very short term campaign till people trust blindly.
