<https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/whole-foods-is-no-longer-wh
ole-paycheck-how-to-cut-your-grocery-bill/>

is expanding to more than 3,500 cities today. The new subscription model
will cost $10 a month for Prime members
<https://www.cnet.com/tech/heres-how-to-sign-up-for-amazon-prime/> (on top
of the existing Prime membership fee) and $5 for those with a registered
SNAP/EBT card. The program includes free unlimited grocery deliveries on
orders over $35 from Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods and a select number of
specialty retailers including Cardenas Markets, Rite Aid, Pet Food Express
and Mission Wine & Spirits.

 

Amazon has been testing the service in three pilot markets
<https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/amazon-fresh-grocery-delive
ry-is-available-to-non-prime-members-what-to-know/>

since December 2023. As of today, the retailer has expanded the unlimited
free delivery program to more than 3,500 cities and towns across the US and
is offering a 30-day free trial
<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ9DGD6N/?tag=cnet-buy-button-20> to let
prospective customers test it out before they commit.

 

In addition to unlimited free grocery deliveries, Amazon's subscription
includes 1-hour delivery windows at no extra cost and unlimited 30-minute
pickup on all orders (no minimum spend). You'll also gain priority access to
recurring reservations

For Prime members who don't sign up for the program, Amazon Fresh orders
will still cost $10 for all deliveries under $50 and $7 for orders between
$50 to $100. Deliveries over $100 were free. Whole Foods
<https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/whole-foods-is-no-longer-wh

will continue to charge a flat fee of $10 for all orders for those who don't
subscribe, with additional charges for 1-hour deliveries.
