The Union Square Whole Foods in Manhattan has already seen price cuts on the first day of the acquisition, with discounted items marked by orange "Whole Foods + Amazon" signs.
The price of organic avocados was lowered from $2.50 each to $1.49 each, bananas (pictured as melons) dropped from 99 cents per pound to 69 cents per pound, and the price of tomatoes on the vine were lowered from $3.49 per pound to $1.99.
Prices for ground beef and fish, among other items, were also significantly cut.
"We’re determined to make healthy and organic food affordable for everyone. Everybody should be able to eat Whole Foods Market quality – we will lower prices without compromising Whole Foods Market’s long-held commitment to the highest standards," Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Consumer said in a statement on Thursday.
According to Amazon, more product discounts are to come, but will the lower prices make people more inclined to shop at Whole Foods?
One customer at the Union Square Whole Foods in NYC explained that with school starting up again sales are key. "As a student I buy just what’s on sale," she said, positively reacting to the drop.
Another customer noted that Amazon products like Echos and Dots are currently being sold at a discount in the middle of Whole Foods' produce section. "I thought it was interesting because I heard about Amazon buying Whole Foods," she said. "The Amazon Dots and Echos were at the bottom of the escalator. They featured the normal prices and then the new reduced price..."
Seeing Amazon tech products sold next to grapes is certainly going to take some getting used to, but according to the company this is just the beginning for Whole Foods discounts.
