Amazon Delivers Organic Whole Foods

Amazon announced that certain members of its Prime subscription program can order Whole Foods items to be delivered within two hours! The program debuts in several neighborhoods in Austin, Dallas, Virginia Beach, and Cincinnati. Delivery is free for orders over $35—not exactly a challenge when you’re buying healthy and delicious products for you and your family when you’re on the go! If you’re crunched for time and having a dinner party you can expedite one-hour delivery of fresh produce for $7.99, in many cases less than the cost of an Uber to the grocery store and back. Ahh, convenience.

When Amazon spent $14 billion on Whole Foods last year in its largest-ever acquisition, I have to admit, I did not like the idea. But now as it’s actions are coming to play I realize all of the benefits this could have to certain families and homes. As we live in such a fast paced world convenience is our best friend, so having fresh organic food delivered to our door step for free (with our Amazon prime membership) is just another perk that we can reap in this technological world.
