Tesco has actually been doing this forever. There is a mention of them doing online shopping in 1986!

But they actually launched the product proper, in 1996, where they would give you a CD-ROM and it would then sync the diff of products available when it connected. Very ahead of its time - nearly 20 years.

The US grocery market is so far behind on this it's pretty crazy.
