When Amazon acquired Whole Foods they stated that they would be lowering prices at Whole Foods and would be integrating Prime into their point of sale systems to offer special savings and in store benefits. Prices were reduced on some items in store almost immediately and they have just launched the first prime discount (at least that I know of). Prime members are eligible to receive a discount on turkeys (our affiliate link).
- $1.99/lb for Whole Turkeys (20% discount)
- $2.99/lb for Whole Organic Turkeys (14% off)
Discount is only available to Prime Members and you must present a coupon in store to be eligible. That seems like a clunky system to me, so fingers crossed Amazon hasn’t finished integrating just yet and this is a stop gap measure. I think Target & Costco had them for $0.99/lb last year ($1.99/lb for organic at Costco), obviously that doesn’t take into account the quality of the turkey though. Personally I don’t think it’s the actual discount that that’s interesting, just that they have begun to have these types of offers. Fingers crossed we see more discounted Whole Foods gift cards on Amazon and more Amazon gift card discounts at Whole Foods.
