Topic: grocery? (Read 808 times)
My wife and I are considering selling meat and eggs (among other things) for crypto currency in the near future, but that all depends on if we are able to get a larger space for livestock/planting, and if crypto currencies are a little more stable and reliable.
I've previously inquired with Alice.com, requesting that they take Bitcoin as payment. Perhaps with enough inquiries they will add it.

Alice.com has folded, and declared bankruptcy.
That's what happens when you compete in a low margin industry (grocery) but use a high cost payment network (Visa/Mastercard).
Is there anyone who sells grocery food btc? I don't mean the luxuries that bitpantry sells, but real food, i.e. loaf of bread, oatmeal, cereal, etc.
Not general consumer foods, like you would get at a local grocery.
There are some offerings here:

What you might be able to do is use the cash-out to PayPal feature (e.g., from FastCash4Bitcoins ) for use with a number of sites that sell food and accept PayPal. If you have your own PayPal account then this works anywhere that PayPal is accepted online (or offline at the point of sale, which is going to be nearly everywhere once PayPal's retail rollout with Discover happens).
But even if you don't have a PayPal account this still might be useful. Well, not useful for sites that require that you go through the PayPal checkout form (as you must sign into a PayPal account for that) but if the merchant accepts payment using PayPal and provides their PayPal e-mail address to you, then you can use this cash-out service and send the payment directly to them:

BitPay says they are up to just about 1,000 merchants using their system. That means they'll probably end up with a merchant or four that sells food.
No
