Amazon Prime Members To Get Whole Foods Discounts

(RTTNews) - E-commerce giant Amazon offered discounts for Prime customers at its newly acquired Whole Foods Market Inc. The $13. 7 combination is expected to bring more in-store benefits to customers. The deal will be closed on Monday the 28th.

Amazon Prime has been focusing on high-income households and the latest move is to bring in customers from various sectors of the society. The lower price offer will be applicable to a selection of grocery staples, organic bananas, salmon, organic large brown eggs, lean ground beef, etc.
