Speaker 1: Your Amazon Prime membership now goes further at Whole Foods.
Speaker 1: What's going on on merch demurro. This is rich on Tech.
Speaker 1: Daily savings for Amazon Prime members will be available at
Speaker 1: all Whole food stores nationwide starting June twenty seventh. This
Speaker 1: means if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can now
Speaker 1: use your membership as sort of a store loyalty card
Speaker 1: for even more savings at Whole Foods. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: Amazon has been doing a good job of adjusting the
Speaker 1: pricing at Whole Foods, and this has been happening in phases.
Speaker 1: The first was right when Amazon bought Whole Foods, they
Speaker 1: lowered the prices on a bunch of stuff immediately. Well,
Speaker 1: now comes Prime Savings. Prime members shopping at Whole Foods
Speaker 1: across the US will receive ten percent off hundreds of
Speaker 1: sale items and also discounts on select popular items. All
Speaker 1: the time, the savings were rolled out slowly to several
Speaker 1: stores in various regions of the US, but starting on
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh, everyone who has a Prime membership will
Speaker 1: have access to the discounts again. At the savings, of course,
Speaker 1: you have to be an Amazon Prime member, but here's
Speaker 1: what you have to do. You have to download the
Speaker 1: Whole Foods app to your phone. Then you log in
Speaker 1: with your Amazon account, and once you do that, you'll
Speaker 1: get a QR code that's on your screen. This is
Speaker 1: kind of like your store loyalty card. When you check
Speaker 1: out at Whole Foods, you just have the cashier scan
Speaker 1: the QR code and that will activate your savings. Now,
Speaker 1: if you don't feel like pulling out your phone every
Speaker 1: time you're at the checkout, you can also link your
Speaker 1: phone number to your account for savings and deals. You
Speaker 1: can do this by going into the account section of
Speaker 1: the Whole Foods app on your phone and then adding
Speaker 1: or modifying your phone number. Just be sure to tap
Speaker 1: the little toggle underneath it that says use my mobile
Speaker 1: number at checkout. This way you can link your mobile
Speaker 1: number and the cashier can just key it in. It's
Speaker 1: kind of the same system that you see in place
Speaker 1: at a lot of retailers. Now, it's up to you
Speaker 1: whether you use the QR code at checkout or the
Speaker 1: phone number, but one nice benefit of using the QR
Speaker 1: code is that you can actually see what deals are
Speaker 1: in store that week. This is under the savings tab
Speaker 1: in the app, so what kind of deals do Prime
Speaker 1: members get at Whole food Foods? This week? It's organic
Speaker 1: girls salad Greens normally four bucks each, but two for
Speaker 1: five dollars for Prime members. Chicken is two dollars a
Speaker 1: pound instead of four, shrimp nine dollars a pound instead
Speaker 1: of sixteen, and Prime members get an extra ten percent
Speaker 1: off the price of ground beef. It seems like there's
Speaker 1: a handful of Prime Member only deals, but the neat
Speaker 1: thing here is that you also get ten percent off
Speaker 1: pretty much anything in the store that's on sale and
Speaker 1: on Like the old Whole Foods app and coupon system,
Speaker 1: this is much more straightforward and way less confusing. Now.
Speaker 1: As much as I like what Amazon has done at
Speaker 1: Whole Foods with the pricing, basically they've lowered it, I
Speaker 1: still find on average it is much more expensive than
Speaker 1: other grocery stores. But I'll take all these discounts. I'm
Speaker 1: still not doing all of my shopping at Whole Foods,
Speaker 1: but I like where they're headed. So again, download the
Speaker 1: Whole Foods app for iOS or Android, log in with
Speaker 1: your Amazon Prime membership, link up your phone number, and
Speaker 1: you can start saving. If you don't have a Prime membership.
Speaker 1: You can find a link on my website for a
Speaker 1: free thirty day trial, and again just to review the
Speaker 1: price of a prime membership. It's thirteen dollars a month
Speaker 1: or one hundred and nineteen dollars a year. It used
Speaker 1: to be ninety nine dollars a year, so it's up
Speaker 1: by twenty dollars. But according to Amazon, I've already placed
Speaker 1: thirty five orders so far this year, so if you
Speaker 1: do the math, that works out to be under two
Speaker 1: dollars each for shipping, and in my area that's usually
Speaker 1: same day, so that's a deal I'll take. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for listening to the podcast. If you enjoy what
Speaker 1: I'm doing here, please rate and review it in Apple Podcasts.
