1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Your Amazon Prime membership now goes further at Whole Foods.

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: What's going on on merch demurro. This is rich on Tech.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Daily savings for Amazon Prime members will be available at

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: all Whole food stores nationwide starting June twenty seventh. This

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: means if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can now

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: use your membership as sort of a store loyalty card

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: for even more savings at Whole Foods. Now, you know,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Amazon has been doing a good job of adjusting the

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: pricing at Whole Foods, and this has been happening in phases.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: The first was right when Amazon bought Whole Foods, they

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: lowered the prices on a bunch of stuff immediately. Well,

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: now comes Prime Savings. Prime members shopping at Whole Foods

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: across the US will receive ten percent off hundreds of

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: sale items and also discounts on select popular items. All

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: the time, the savings were rolled out slowly to several

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: stores in various regions of the US, but starting on

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh, everyone who has a Prime membership will

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: have access to the discounts again. At the savings, of course,

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: you have to be an Amazon Prime member, but here's

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: what you have to do. You have to download the

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: Whole Foods app to your phone. Then you log in

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: with your Amazon account, and once you do that, you'll

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: get a QR code that's on your screen. This is

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of like your store loyalty card. When you check

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: out at Whole Foods, you just have the cashier scan

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: the QR code and that will activate your savings. Now,

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: if you don't feel like pulling out your phone every

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: time you're at the checkout, you can also link your

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: phone number to your account for savings and deals. You

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: can do this by going into the account section of

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: the Whole Foods app on your phone and then adding

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: or modifying your phone number. Just be sure to tap

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: the little toggle underneath it that says use my mobile

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: number at checkout. This way you can link your mobile

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: number and the cashier can just key it in. It's

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: kind of the same system that you see in place

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: at a lot of retailers. Now, it's up to you

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: whether you use the QR code at checkout or the

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: phone number, but one nice benefit of using the QR

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: code is that you can actually see what deals are

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: in store that week. This is under the savings tab

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: in the app, so what kind of deals do Prime

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: members get at Whole food Foods? This week? It's organic

44
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: girls salad Greens normally four bucks each, but two for

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: five dollars for Prime members. Chicken is two dollars a

46
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: pound instead of four, shrimp nine dollars a pound instead

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: of sixteen, and Prime members get an extra ten percent

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: off the price of ground beef. It seems like there's

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: a handful of Prime Member only deals, but the neat

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: thing here is that you also get ten percent off

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: pretty much anything in the store that's on sale and

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: on Like the old Whole Foods app and coupon system,

53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: this is much more straightforward and way less confusing. Now.

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: As much as I like what Amazon has done at

55
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Whole Foods with the pricing, basically they've lowered it, I

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: still find on average it is much more expensive than

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: other grocery stores. But I'll take all these discounts. I'm

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: still not doing all of my shopping at Whole Foods,

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: but I like where they're headed. So again, download the

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Whole Foods app for iOS or Android, log in with

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: your Amazon Prime membership, link up your phone number, and

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you can start saving. If you don't have a Prime membership.

63
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: You can find a link on my website for a

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: free thirty day trial, and again just to review the

65
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: price of a prime membership. It's thirteen dollars a month

66
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: or one hundred and nineteen dollars a year. It used

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: to be ninety nine dollars a year, so it's up

68
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: by twenty dollars. But according to Amazon, I've already placed

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: thirty five orders so far this year, so if you

70
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: do the math, that works out to be under two

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: dollars each for shipping, and in my area that's usually

72
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: same day, so that's a deal I'll take. Thanks so

73
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,960
