Since Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods last year, we've been seeing more and more discounts become available at Whole Foods stores for Prime members. Initially restricted to Florida, these discounts spread to 12 more states two weeks later. They'll soon be available across the United States in all Whole Foods stores nationwide.Amazon / Whole Foods had initially said that the savings would roll out across the country "over the course of this summer," but given that we're only a few days into summer, it seems like they're ahead of schedule. The 10% discount on sale items is persistent, but the exclusive savings change every week. Here are some of them:
Baby back pork ribs, animal welfare rated and no antibiotics, $4.99/lb., save $5/lb.
Sockeye salmon, wild caught Marine Stewardship Council-certified, $13.99/lb., save $6/lb.
Organic red cherries, $3.99/lb., save $2/lb.
Organic yellow peaches, $1.99/lb., save $2/lb.
Mochi ice cream, including flavors like chocolate, salted caramel, and green tea, self-serve, 5/$5
All bulk items, including favorites like nuts, granola, dried fruit, and hundreds more, 25 percent off
Organic Honest Lemonade, 32 oz., 2/$3
To take advantage of these deals, you need to sign into and scan your Whole Foods app at checkout. Again, the deals go nationwide on June 27th, so you'll have to wait two more days (unless you live in one of the 13 states already supported, of course).
