Online grocer Farmstead is expanding its refill and save program that provides reduced prices on certain staple grocery items including milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables and bread.
The discount program is now available to all repeat shoppers in the Bay Area, in California, according to a press release.
"Our Refill & Save program has been extremely popular with customers as many households order the same staples each time they shop," said Pradeep Elankumaran, founder and CEO of Farmstead, in the release. "Farmstead's focus on these staple products and our use of AI models to predict demand allows us to reduce costs for our customers on frequently ordered household groceries. As we fulfill our mission to make high quality locally sourced food available to all and reduce food waste, Refill & Save is an integral part of our offering."
Farmstead is using AI-based tech to predict what people would buy, stock its micro-warehouses accordingly, and deliver within an hour, according to the release.
