   No reason that couldn't be the MO of online shopping as well.  The main   
   problem you might face is that, by improving the supply chain, you may   
   find there is less and less inventory that winds up expiring.  But if   
   the efficiencies allow prices to be kept down overall, you'll probably   
   still save more than digging through the bargain bin.
