<v Speaker 1>Your Amazon Prime membership now goes further at Whole Foods.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>What's going on on merch demurro. This is rich on Tech.

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Daily savings for Amazon Prime members will be available at

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>all Whole food stores nationwide starting June twenty seventh. This

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>means if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can now

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>use your membership as sort of a store loyalty card

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>for even more savings at Whole Foods. Now, you know,

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazon has been doing a good job of adjusting the

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>pricing at Whole Foods, and this has been happening in phases.

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 1>The first was right when Amazon bought Whole Foods, they

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>lowered the prices on a bunch of stuff immediately. Well,

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>now comes Prime Savings. Prime members shopping at Whole Foods

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>across the US will receive ten percent off hundreds of

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>sale items and also discounts on select popular items. All

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the time, the savings were rolled out slowly to several

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>stores in various regions of the US, but starting on

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>June twenty seventh, everyone who has a Prime membership will

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>have access to the discounts again. At the savings, of course,

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to be an Amazon Prime member, but here's

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>what you have to do. You have to download the

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Whole Foods app to your phone. Then you log in

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>with your Amazon account, and once you do that, you'll

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>get a QR code that's on your screen. This is

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like your store loyalty card. When you check

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>out at Whole Foods, you just have the cashier scan

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the QR code and that will activate your savings. Now,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>if you don't feel like pulling out your phone every

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>time you're at the checkout, you can also link your

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>phone number to your account for savings and deals. You

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>can do this by going into the account section of

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the Whole Foods app on your phone and then adding

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>or modifying your phone number. Just be sure to tap

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the little toggle underneath it that says use my mobile

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>number at checkout. This way you can link your mobile

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>number and the cashier can just key it in. It's

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of the same system that you see in place

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>at a lot of retailers. Now, it's up to you

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>whether you use the QR code at checkout or the

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>phone number, but one nice benefit of using the QR

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>code is that you can actually see what deals are

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>in store that week. This is under the savings tab

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in the app, so what kind of deals do Prime

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>members get at Whole food Foods? This week? It's organic

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>girls salad Greens normally four bucks each, but two for

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>five dollars for Prime members. Chicken is two dollars a

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>pound instead of four, shrimp nine dollars a pound instead

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of sixteen, and Prime members get an extra ten percent

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 1>off the price of ground beef. It seems like there's

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a handful of Prime Member only deals, but the neat

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>thing here is that you also get ten percent off

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much anything in the store that's on sale and

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>on Like the old Whole Foods app and coupon system,

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>this is much more straightforward and way less confusing. Now.

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>As much as I like what Amazon has done at

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Whole Foods with the pricing, basically they've lowered it, I

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>still find on average it is much more expensive than

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>other grocery stores. But I'll take all these discounts. I'm

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>still not doing all of my shopping at Whole Foods,

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>but I like where they're headed. So again, download the

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Whole Foods app for iOS or Android, log in with

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>your Amazon Prime membership, link up your phone number, and

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you can start saving. If you don't have a Prime membership.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You can find a link on my website for a

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>free thirty day trial, and again just to review the

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>price of a prime membership. It's thirteen dollars a month

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>or one hundred and nineteen dollars a year. It used

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to be ninety nine dollars a year, so it's up

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>by twenty dollars. But according to Amazon, I've already placed

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty five orders so far this year, so if you

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>do the math, that works out to be under two

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.519
<v Speaker 1>dollars each for shipping, and in my area that's usually

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>same day, so that's a deal I'll take. Thanks so

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.960
