I do have prime. WF is further away but I should check ads and go for a good deal. Good call.

I thought they recently got rid of free delivery for amazon fresh?

guessing forcing $150 of spend at WF is going to be more more expensive than TJs. Unfortunate bc I do love WF produce.

Their fresh produce (meat, veggies ect) is the one area of their groceries that I believe hasn’t suffered too much with the Amazon takeover. Almost everything else they stock their shelves has been lackluster and in slow but steady decline in quality. I’m gonna be sad if they scrap my lemonade purchase

The Prime credit card + membership gets you 5% off everything at their stores, Whole Foods, and the website, at all times. It's a pretty massive reward if you are relying on their ecosystem for anything.

thanks - I do have this card but figure TJs is still cheaper for food.

Definitely depends on what you're buying. Some staples are really expensive at TJ's, and some WF 365 items are surprisingly cheap. I don't think what you spend now is crazy high or anything but if you want to lower it you definitely need to do more comparison shopping.

It’s a pain in the ass but start recording prices for items for some of your weekly staples at different store. You’ll learn when something is expensive and when something is a great deal, and random things like what’s surprisingly cheap at WF and dumb expensive at giant

Agree, also like I said, the Amazon Fresh store is part of the value, I can literally walk in, throw $50 in groceries in my stroller, and walk out in 2 or 3 minutes. Pretty much all the fresh stuff I can't buy at Costco. It's a jam.

This week I'm getting 10% off everything in the store as well. Tj can't beat that, nope.

Even the eggs are well priced.
