Love the idea. You may want to post it in the unemployment forum.

Technology is a wonderful thing when it works properly. When it does not work it is useless and the mere fact that we have had much success before pagers, cell phones and computers is more reason to rely on ourselves rather than a hand held device.
Lots of our success as a society, especially in the last 50 years or so, is due to computers and technology. But that's going way off topic of a smart fridge .

I actually enjoy grocery shopping. You never know what you may find - even in the culinary desert known as Oklahoma. So far I never managed to run out of toilet paper or cat food and everything else is optional. Had to call a neighbor a couple of years back to beg a bottle of merlot He brought two over and we shared dinner.

Considering Samsung reliability and their worthless warranty and customer service, you couldn't give me one. This falls under the "Just how stupid can you be".

It's not for fresh food, but I imagine that's not far behind. I think it's pretty cool.

And I agree about having tech that will break down and be expensive to fix. I did see a less fancy Samsung fridge at Home Depot last weekend. I like the door-in-door and removable bins, as well as the darker stainless finish.
I never heard of Amazon Dash buttons, but they seem to be the right idea. I don't buy household goods on Amazon though. It's almost always cheaper to stock up at Costco. But may be one day when cost is not a factor...

Eventually, Amazon will insert a chip into your brain. Think it, and it magically appears on your porch the next day! (Your credit card also magically is charged.)

Samsung Grocery Manager App:
Go to app, load list of items. Scroll through items until you see milk. Enter purchase date, next enter the date the milk expires. Confirm. After you consume the milk, and buy new milk repeat steps. Repeat for every item you add to the fridge.

Old method:
Open door, look at milk

If your the type of person that likes this technology and has the 3 hours to put your groceries in the fridge and program all the items, and delete the expired items, this fridge is for you......

There is nothing more reliable than putting pen to paper and since that is how *most* of this technology was drawn before it was built.........

I agree that Amazon's prices aren't ideal. I think it's a nifty idea, though, and wouldn't be surprised if other stores start going that direction too.
