Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Your Amazon Prime membership now goes further at Whole Foods.
What's going on on merch demurro. This is rich on Tech.
Daily savings for Amazon Prime members will be available at
all Whole food stores nationwide starting June twenty seventh. This
means if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can now
use your membership as sort of a store loyalty card
for even more savings at Whole Foods. Now, you know,

(00:26):
Amazon has been doing a good job of adjusting the
pricing at Whole Foods, and this has been happening in phases.
The first was right when Amazon bought Whole Foods, they
lowered the prices on a bunch of stuff immediately. Well,
now comes Prime Savings. Prime members shopping at Whole Foods
across the US will receive ten percent off hundreds of
sale items and also discounts on select popular items. All

(00:48):
the time, the savings were rolled out slowly to several
stores in various regions of the US, but starting on
June twenty seventh, everyone who has a Prime membership will
have access to the discounts again. At the savings, of course,
you have to be an Amazon Prime member, but here's
what you have to do. You have to download the
Whole Foods app to your phone. Then you log in

(01:08):
with your Amazon account, and once you do that, you'll
get a QR code that's on your screen. This is
kind of like your store loyalty card. When you check
out at Whole Foods, you just have the cashier scan
the QR code and that will activate your savings. Now,
if you don't feel like pulling out your phone every
time you're at the checkout, you can also link your
phone number to your account for savings and deals. You
can do this by going into the account section of

(01:30):
the Whole Foods app on your phone and then adding
or modifying your phone number. Just be sure to tap
the little toggle underneath it that says use my mobile
number at checkout. This way you can link your mobile
number and the cashier can just key it in. It's
kind of the same system that you see in place
at a lot of retailers. Now, it's up to you
whether you use the QR code at checkout or the
phone number, but one nice benefit of using the QR

(01:52):
code is that you can actually see what deals are
in store that week. This is under the savings tab
in the app, so what kind of deals do Prime
members get at Whole food Foods? This week? It's organic
girls salad Greens normally four bucks each, but two for
five dollars for Prime members. Chicken is two dollars a
pound instead of four, shrimp nine dollars a pound instead
of sixteen, and Prime members get an extra ten percent

(02:14):
off the price of ground beef. It seems like there's
a handful of Prime Member only deals, but the neat
thing here is that you also get ten percent off
pretty much anything in the store that's on sale and
on Like the old Whole Foods app and coupon system,
this is much more straightforward and way less confusing. Now.
As much as I like what Amazon has done at
Whole Foods with the pricing, basically they've lowered it, I

(02:36):
still find on average it is much more expensive than
other grocery stores. But I'll take all these discounts. I'm
still not doing all of my shopping at Whole Foods,
but I like where they're headed. So again, download the
Whole Foods app for iOS or Android, log in with
your Amazon Prime membership, link up your phone number, and
you can start saving. If you don't have a Prime membership.
You can find a link on my website for a
free thirty day trial, and again just to review the

(02:59):
price of a prime membership. It's thirteen dollars a month
or one hundred and nineteen dollars a year. It used
to be ninety nine dollars a year, so it's up
by twenty dollars. But according to Amazon, I've already placed
thirty five orders so far this year, so if you
do the math, that works out to be under two
dollars each for shipping, and in my area that's usually
same day, so that's a deal I'll take. Thanks so
