The time to notice that you're running low on something is when you're starting to run low on it, not when you've exhausted it, I would say.

I can understand that if one was living in a tiny apartment in the city, where it is easy to go to the store and storage space is at a premium, the on-demand model for getting your groceries and housewares might make sense. It would make me anxious, though; I'm a stockpiler that gets itchy if I have less than six months of canned goods and a freezer full of meat for the winter.



Youve never made a mental note to get more of something then forgot?

You've never written something down only to find the grocery store is out of it? Or forgotten the list at home?

Maybe I'm just really forgetful, but I have. And since using the Alexa like this, I don't. That's better.

I'm not blindly ordering everything through it, but some things definitely got the model very well.
