    I would think that an app on your Kindle or idevice that allowed you to organize a couple hundred household items that you regularly use would be a cool way to shop for those things without leaving home. Push the buy button, fingerprint the authorization and go back to playing candy crush....

    What the heck is a dash button anyway ? You mean you push that button and an automatic order is placed on amazon ? .....and you have to pay 5 bucks for each button ?

    I never heard of such stupidity.

    Couldn't you achieve the same thing with the Amazon Echo....Siri ?

    If they start offering more of the products I use at a decent price, I'll totally get into this for dish detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and the like. Heck, this would be killer for Charcoal! Just press the button when I'm out cooking and realize I'm getting low.

    I don't really do shopping lists and hate going to Target so I forget about being low when I'm at the grocery store and typically their prices on those things aren't very good.

    You get the $4.99 button cost refunded upon your first purchase via the button.

    What happens when you press the button because you're low on TP but then your old lady uses the bathroom 30 minutes later and also presses the button because she notices you're low on TP?

    lol....or when that kid comes over, the one from the family member everyone avoids, and starts pushing buttons like crazy. Then you hide the buttons....and forget where you hid them after the kid leaves.

    So, if I understand this correctly, the average house needs something like 100 buttons laying around ? Doesn't compute for me.

    You "don't do" shopping lists ? lol Too much effort to write ? :) Try a real grocery store besides Target too for better pricing. ;)

    With this generations affection for their phones, you can speak the list into the phone, no writing. Wouldn't that be preferable to a bunch of buttons hanging around ?

    Now if they had a Cannoli button....different story.

    Pretty much all I go to are real grocery stores - I HATE going to Target or such places. But often grocery stores don't have good or sale prices on household items.

    I'm single so I only buy what I need for when I need it so I'm typically buying ingredients for one or two recipes. Write down ingredients,go to store, come home and cook.

    I just think it'd be really handy if when I grab a roll of paper towels from the cabinet and notice I only have a roll left to push the button on the cabinet door or something and not have to worry about it again. Browsing for a particular product on my phone isn't something I can typically manage if I'm in the middle of cooking or cleaning.

    I think its a beginning of a revolutionary way to shop and maintain a household. It won't be good for local business, but will be great for the consumer.

    I don't think so Skip. Most wait until the last second to go shopping or mentally decide, "Oh crap, I need this or that".

    Toilet paper is one such item, you gonna wait for Amazon to deliver it or are you marching to the store to grab some rolls ? Or your cooking and need more garlic or whatever, you going to stop cooking and wait a day or 2 ?

    Most the time the things we really need, we need right then and there. Pushing a button will not solve that.

    I would say this is the second laziest thing I've seen. A couple of years ago I ran into a friend at the local grocery store. In her cart was packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. One sandwich in an individually wrapped pack.

    I still think that's a little lazier, unless she simply lost the recipe for them.

    I see the utility. If I'm in a different part of the house doing laundry and get low on the detergent, boom, press the button.

    We may disagree, which is ok, but I don't see it as convenient, just promoting laziness and making people less social than they are now. Let alone loss of jobs at the grocery store level.

    Which is why when grocery shopping I don't use the self checkout lanes but instead go to one staffed by a human being which is most likely a late teenager etc. making their way. Gotta keep people working I say.

    You mean....you actually talk to people Ken ? WTF is wrong with you ? lol

    Maybe just add an addition to your house or have a dedicated wall for all your buttons and call it something clever, what I don't fricking know.
