Waking up from a summertime slumber, online spending increased approximately 25 percent
in July, rising to US$3.98 billion from $3.2 billion in June, according to the latest
Forrester Online Retail Index, released Wednesday.

In addition, the number of households shopping online increased to 14.7 million in July
from 13.1 million in June, the report said. "It's really encouraging, especially
considering the large number of people on vacation or at the beach (during July),"
Forrester analyst Chris Kelley told the E-Commerce Times.

Anyone know what how much grocery shopping contributed to July's online spending? Interested to know if it decreased from May or June inlight of WebVans closing.
