Skyrocketing grocery prices on Amazon, Sales are just clickbaits

stopped shopping from Amazon Fresh long back for same reason

But recently in Dec was tempted by 75CB on 300 ordered for Rs309 these people reduced Rs10 for some fruit and made order value 298/- and no CB given. earlier too they did same thing but after lot of fight CB issued. I have no patience this time so left

kind of cheating/deliberate I guess

Comparison of Amazon fresh with Big basket. For branded items, still Amazon fresh is most attractive.

Prices of fruits and vegetables have always been higher than local market in all online grocery portals

Earlier I used to order 90% of  grocery from Amazon.

But for last 4-5 months I've regularly been ordering from flipkart grocery even though they sometimes cancel the delivery after it reaches nearby hub. (bigbasket etc not available here)

The pricing at Flipkart Grocery is beating even their wholesale arm bestprice.


Amazon fresh ab sirf urgent orders mein kaam aata hai.

Even I used to order all of my groceries from Amazon. Now it's from Flipkart grocery and Big Basket (With Offers). However, Amazon itself discontinued fresh from here. 

Amazon pantry/fresh always had inflated prices. Only cashbacks made them slightly cheaper. 

I have basically stopped ordering grocery from Amazon for over a year now. Flipkart and Jiomart have been way way better with prices. 

Amazon 75 cb on veggies is also a gimmick . They cancel one item if you buy nearer to 300 . Ended cancelling it twice 

Flipkart grocery is the best.

Mostly all sales are for namesake only. Here on desidime also, many deals are just for being there unlike individual products which are really on discount. All Gimmicks.

Like likh diya "Republic day sale upto 80% discount" but hota kuch hai nahi. Upto upto bol ke sab ko ullu bana rahe hai.

Compare the same with Jiomart & Flipkart grocery. They both sell cheapest the MRP items plus good offers.

Getting 6 kg top load cheapest on Fresh and Flipkart, jiomart and Bigbasket slightly expensive. So it all depends on what we want to purchase. Even oil ghee cheaper on fresh

Bought Pampers XL diapers pack of 56 @ 751 today from Amazon fresh excluding the cashback ( 200 on 1500) , the same item is available at 950+ across swiggy/flipkart/bb . 

Found reasonable prices most of the times at amazon , though sometimes it's inflated

I buy from everywhere. Once I have the monthly grocery list in hand, I split the items between bigbasket, flipkart, jiomart and/or Amazon Fresh and buy at the cheapest rate possible.

Compared with Flipkart and Jiomart, Still cheapest on Amazon Fresh. Same is true for most branded items barring few exceptions.

That makes you a Pro Shopper!! Include Swiggy Instamart and Zepto as well.

Oh yeah. I do shop from swiggy instamart as well. Just forgot to mention it. Zepto not yet.

That's right!! I have been highlighting this issue for quite sometime.Some deals are good but most of the times Fresh prices are inflated,just use a Pricer tracker and you would understand how Amazon fools customers on the name of Lightening deals / Deal of the day.

Here is a very interesting read 👇🏼
