I am launching a Crypto Grocery store, cryptogrocery.org. This is not an official launch. This is where UK customers will be able to buy general grocery items and toiletries to be delivered to their door, or hampers of general goodies. I cannot send many perishables by courier easily, but UHT milk makes an exception. Non UK customers would be able to purchase sealed packaging food items only and have a higher shipping cost.

Obviously I have to make a profit in this business so it will cost a little more than if you bought it from a shop!


As a service trial, I have two 'hampers' (have not got the baskets in stock yet):

2 Loaf Kingsmill or Hovis Bread
1 Carton UHT Milk
1 Carton Butter
1 50 Box of Tea Bags
1 500g of Sugar
1 Box of free range eggs
1 1kg of porridge
1 Bar of Soap
1 Bottle of Fairy Liquid
1 Bottle of shampoo + conditioner
1 Bag of pasta + Tomato pasta bake
1 Tube of colgate total toothpaste
1 Twin pack Toilet Roll

To trial for two UK customers

For 0.040 BTC or 10 LTC (price includes shipping)

The site is nearing ready for launch so nothing is on the domain yet. The service will Launch for  BTC  and LTC. The price also reflects the shipping of your shopping and also allows me to make some profit.

This is to be the beginning of grocery shopping using cryptocurrency in the UK!

Any takers, if anyone is interested! Then i will take the feedback of them to further improve the service. There are two of the above hampers available.

Transparency and for logging sake: The addresses used for ALL CryptoGrocery inbound transactions will be:

3DnJPRRETe4Neby52pbHdPNmTLNvux18YB (BTC)
or
Lbm5FcbiQmnoXg2FvaFWE78eWVA4gosGWc (LTC)

I will be using CoinPayments as the website payment processor, who will forward coins to these addresses (subject to change), but these will be the main addresses used by cryptogrocery.org as ID addresses so anyone else on here who may pose as cryptogrocery, validate the addresses either here or on the topic. Any promotional emails for subscribers from the site will also come with a signed message from one of these two addresses to verify who it is from.






Sounds great! grocery accepted Bitcoin, if you just nearly here in my place. I will go there any time I want to buy goods in your store using my bitcoin. But sad things is your in UK while I'm in Asean countries. I'm hoping in the near future were going to have store like you have it there.

If your business succeeds, it will be a new milestone for bitcoins! Your service will provide groceries and the payment would be bitcoins, that would mean that we can now buy real life necessities using bitcoins and without converting it to our local currency. I hope your business prospers and spread around the globe.

still no takers on this, I have not yet pulled the trigger on launching the store as interest has been very low. It is a chance of being able to buy groceries with Bitcoin/Litecoin and other digital currencies such as DOGE, DASH and ETH/ETC. Willing to escrow these hampers with psychoticboy or ognasty.

Are you just advertising here? It's an interesting concept, but this is a small subgroup of people you're talking to on the forums. And on that, it's currently more expensive than shopping for these items while they are getting other things. You need to market a bit harder. That said, good job with the MVP, Smiley.

I am getting them directly for now, if it gets larger than I will consider trying to obtain them wholesale. Hence the initial higher prices.

I am gauging interest ahead of launch, pre-launch two UK customers have the chance to get their weekly shop in CryptoCurrency.

Interesting idea. Are you getting the groceries directly from a supplier? I hope prices are low and fair.  Cheesy
