Fast Five | Amazon Wins Black Friday Again With New Gift Giving Feature

In today's Fast Five Video, sponsored by Takeoff, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, and Attentive, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga: - Question the real motives behind Target's holiday price adjustment promise. - Love, love, love (that's three "love's" if you are keeping score at home) Amazon's new gift-giving feature. - Discuss how astute Gopuff's plans to open up live retail stores might be. - Place quite a bit of importance on Aldi Nord's announcement of a 4,300 square foot checkout-free grocery store with Trigo. - And close with a discussion of an absolutely stellar new feature from Instacart that allows people to shop for meal kits from Sunbasket without needing a Sunbasket subscription. Cancel Christmas! There's all that, plus I actually admit that Marc Lore's latest startup sounds cool, and Anne extols the virtues of creamy over chunky peanut butter.
