Competition from Amazon has pushed grocers to focus on home delivery and lower prices. Now it’s taking aim at supermarkets’ high-profit products: those found in the beauty aisle.

Amazon.com Inc. has challenged grocers by pushing them to lower prices and expand their delivery options. Now the company’s latest plans threaten to steal sales of some of the industry’s more profitable products.

The e-commerce giant plans to launch urban grocery stores that could offer a spectrum of goods that includes beauty products alongside food, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Beauty products represent a small portion of supermarket sales but tend to offer higher profits than more traditional items.

Nice comparison

Love it , choices for the consumer

I can't afford to join Amazon. I live on a fixed income and as a retired old lady I can't afford to spend my money like a sailor on shore leave. Just buying beauty aisle stuff is a treat I can't afford ever.

The beauty of capitalism.
