I’m recommending this to all my friends. Manhattan prices for every day products are insane and – due to the fact that we don’t cook much – most of our trips to the market/drug store are for the types of products Alice offers.

This is going to be/is a HUGE hit.

Fabulous idea! I know this will save me more money in the long run. I usually need to run to the store for just a few things. By the time I leave the store, I have bought many more items that were not originally on my list and I have spent more money than planned.

Probably your biggest mistake is not allowing consumers to see the search for products and see prices until after they’ve signed up. Everyone claims that they have the lowest prices, but until consumers can see proof I think many will be very reluctant to hand over their personal information.

Hello Mark-
I replied to your comments on my blog, but then I thought it more likely that you would see it here. So, let me know your thoughts after you’ve read my original response:

“Thank you as well for your thoughtful comments. It shows great strategy on the part of the Alice.com team and its creators. It’s smart social media engagement, an element of this initiative that could make or break a site like yours.

As an interactive marketer myself, I understand the distinction between personal and non-personal information gathering. But as a consumer, I’m still leery. Anytime thousands of marketers are gathered anywhere near my personal information I get skittish. Even so, I believe you when you insist that your policies will not allow my personal information to be given out. But with something this big, and with so many parties involved, I feel like someone somewhere might mistakenly leave a backdoor open. Maybe it’s just me.

Actually, I’ll tell you what: I’ll monitor your site for a year, gaining feedback from the stories I hear from users and the blogosphere. If the results are positive, and complaints are low, I’ll give it a try. Deal?”

Give my best to Alice,
John Jacobsen

Seems to me as a just-older-than-Boomer married to a Boomer, this is a great site for those of us who’d rather do something else in our retirement than drive 30 minutes to the big-box store then drive 30 minutes back home again. Not to mention that rolling around those humongous stores from this aisle to that aisle just because the things you want are never conveniently placed together is a royal pain that Alice might be able to help us avoid.

Yup, sounds like a winner to me. Now if it only works as well as they say it does…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. For those of us living in lesser populated areas, this is fantastic. I would almost rather take a beating than go to Wal-****. To say nothing of their impact on the community.

In my little town, there was no grocery competition, until you came to town.

I just placed my first order. The website is easy to use, the prices are good. The confirmation said 3-5 business days, which is not bad shipping time.

Thanks again. Keep up the good work and keep adding new items.
