Title: New products: fruit, more fruit, organic options and indian food!
Post by: bearbones on May 23, 2011, 01:45:41 AM
I wanted to provide some healthier products, and I got the first batch of orders in yesterday.  More coming soon, so stay tuned!

Awesome!  More indian food please.  I just order 3 of each flavor.  A bit pricer than Krogers, especially with shipping, but I bought bitcoins to cover it (since I would be spending the USD on food anyway) and I got a few extras.  Plus, I'd love to see you grow to the point where the prices can come down some.

Thanks for your support!

Yeah, I am quite a fan of these Tasty Bite packets.  They'll ship really well, too, so I'm putting in a big order to carry the whole line.  This will mean I can offer them at a lower price, in a few weeks.  :)

The way I look at it is that you're getting someone to shop for groceries for you, and so you're saving on gas and getting the convenience of just having a box of food show up :)

I suppose I'll have to try these things out :)

I dont know what your delivery process is but have you thought of setting up food drop points in different areas and hiring delivery drivers for bitcoins ?

Then you can use ubitex.org to list locations so then your drivers can also sell some of the bitcoins you get for fiat - allowing you to pay suppliers who only accept fiat.

I believe the bitdrop delivery service is being coded up right now  http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6279.60 (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6279.60)

This would close the loop and you could essentially live entirely off bitcoins without ever touching fiat again and the only exit point from the economy  is companies who have to pay suppliers who only accept fiat - the end customers are never tied to the items they buy. Eventually even suppliers could be persuaded to accept bitcoins.

I like steel cut oatmeal. Hopefully you start carrying this in the future.

I hope that one day I have enough volume to make that happen!  Right now, at most, I'll get a few orders from the same state in a week.  As bitcoin grows, though, this would be fantastic!

Do you like Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats?  That is what I usually buy, so I wouldn't mind ordering a case of it.

Yeah, I'm not picky.

I wouldn't get too excited about marrying a member whose name is "iamhiv."

Oops!  It shouldn't have let you check out.  It is supposed to be out of stock until Thursday.  Would you like a refund, or should I mail it when it gets in?

I'm going to have to check on this bug.  :/

[EDIT]
Make that next Tuesday.  I'll send you a refund in an hour, when I get back home.  Sorry about the inconvenience!

How about you keep 90% and send the oatmeal to me when you get it? ;)

How about hot cocoa and coffee (https://twitter.com/#!/bitmunchies)? ::)

I'm definitely interested in your offer.  Will PM you when I have a little more time to discuss.
