Amazon Axes Pantry, Adds Items to the Main Store

In 2014, Amazon launched Amazon Prime Pantry to bring the Amazon touch to grocery staples that are easy to ship.But six years is a very long-time for a tech company like Amazon.The retailer recently announced that Pantry has been shut down.What had previously set Pantry apart was the shipping and costs.Pantry allowed subscribers to fill up a single box with Pantry-specific items and have it shipped free on orders over $40.But Pantry required a $5 monthly fee on top of an existing Prime Membership. .Now that Prime includes free grocery delivery, paying that extra monthly fee doesn't make sense
