I order a lot of food items from Amazon like particular brands of
sardines I can't find locally. I also buy several condiments that
aren't sold locally, like mustards and Oriental sauces. Lately I've
been buying spices from Amazon, much better prices than Penzeys and/or
local markets. Perhaps by buying by the case Julie means a mini-case,
Amazon sells a lot of food by the 6 pack/12 pack... I buy my favorite
mustards in those multi packs.
As far as ordering food I don't mind having canned goods delivered but
for meats, produce, and other perishables I need to squeeze and sniff.
