Althouse: "Amazon Cuts Whole Foods Prices as Much as 43% on First Day."

August 28, 2017

"Amazon Cuts Whole Foods Prices as Much as 43% on First Day."

Bloomberg reports.

The item that's 43% cheaper is the very thing I bought last Friday: Organic Fuji apples. From $3.49 a pound to $1.99 a pound.

Michael K said...: We have a Whole Foods just down the street. I go there for sushi. That's it.

There's a Safeway across the street but its prices are not much better. Their wine prices are very good, though.

Fry's is a couple of miles away and that is where my wife does the weekly shopping.

We miss Stater Brothers, which California only. The last good thing about California besides the weather.; 8/28/17, 11:49 AM

mockturtle said...: I bought non-organic Fuju apples for 69c/lb. The term 'organic' is ridiculous, anyway. I understand the meaning as it is used but we all know that all living things are, in fact, 'organic' rather than inorganic.; 8/28/17, 12:03 PM

As long as the beer, Spam and Doritos are reasonably priced, I'll be happy...

Agreed. Actually, I think that it is Krogers generally, r at least in the west. Definitely preferred their King Soopers and City Markets in CO over Safeway too. In PHX, Safeway is closer than either of the Fry's, but don't get there more than every couple of months. Safeway supposedly used to have better produce, but have been forbidden to buy such there after every Avocado out of a half dozen, from three different batches, that I bought there last year were rotten. Much better luck at the Walmart around the corner, or at one of the Fry's. Plus, the food at either tends to be cheaper.

Another thing that I really like about Krogers/Fry's are their pharmacies. Very consistently, they work harder at satisfying us. They will preorder medicines, have daily, not biweekly, deliveries, and don't require the paper script to order them in. Worst, of course, is Walgreens. But Safeway isn't that much better.; 8/28/17, 12:13 PM
Expat(ish) said...: Number one organic grocer in the united states: Wal*Mart. By a mile.

@Mockturtle: in my family when we see "organic" it causes comments like:
-> Stay away from concrete apples!
-> Ferric apples break your teeth!

The GMO comments are pretty funny too.

Iconoclasts, the lot of them!

Pharmacy benefit plan requires CVS but Walgreens is cheaper for some things even if not covered.

My wife has heavy pharmacy bills.; 8/28/17, 12:20 PM
Bruce Hayden said...: Let me add to that, that it has been a long time since I managed to do weekly shopping trips. Here, in MT, there are days when I am at the grocery store 2-3 times in one day. In AZ, it is the Walmart I hit most days. In CO, it was the neighborhood King Soopers and City Market. Not that we couldn't plan that far ahead. Or, at least I could. But I am outvoted. Last night, it was premium paper plates. Night before, it was salad dressing and sliced cheese. Etc. maybe we will make it today - we have family coming in tomorrow to visit. We shall see. Big shopping trip was scheduled for Fri, and it is already Mon.; 8/28/17, 12:21 PM
Balfegor said...: One of the reasons I like Whole Foods for fruit is that I am extremely superficial about my fruit. I don't like it bruised or with little pockmarks. When I shop at Safeway or Harris Teeter here, I have to scrutinize the fruit carefully, because 80%+ of the fruit on offer is blemished. Whole Foods, although it is expensive, has a much, much lower bruise rate on its fruit. This may or may not be unique to the DC/Northern VA shops I go to, but it is my experience. Also, berries are typically better (I distinguish berries because, in fact, my experience is that Harris Teeter Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are slightly tastier than Whole Foods apples.)

Anyhow, I worry that lowering the price on fruit will mean that Whole Foods ends up offering bruised and pockmarked fruit like all the other supermarkets around here.; 8/28/17, 12:21 PM

Bruce Hayden said...: @Dr K:

Ditto for my partner. She has BC/BS of MT, that seems fairly agnostic as to pharmacies. The amount we save goes a long way to paying the premiums. Just noticed that my Part D is through a CVS company. Don't have one close here, of course. If they won't cover things well outside their pharmacies, I expect that I will change for next year.; 8/28/17, 12:29 PM

Whole Foods in Milwaukee made a very wise decision about their location. They are on the ground floor of a building that has a medical clinic above. When you get off the elevator from the physician's offices the WF produce department is right in front of you.

How many people, who have just gone through their yearly physical and been scolded or warned about their current weight and eating habits, get off the elevator feeling glum, look up and see - all the stuff the doctor says they should eat! And then they go in with fresh resolve and virtuously fill the cart with kale and tomatoes and zucchini and leaf lettuce, saying to themselves it's all going to change now....; 8/28/17, 12:34 PM

Bruce Hayden said...: "Ah! But were they Gluten Free Organic Fuji apples?"

I was at Subway this morning for breakfast. Clerk there referred me to where they post the calories for their breads. Most are in the 210-240 range for 6" subs. A couple lower. But their Gluten Free bread was roughly 340. The large numbers of overweight who frequent that place should learn to do what I do - eat without the bread. I have "omlets" in the morning (breakfast subs w/o the bread, folded over like an omelet) or salads at night - esp when we haven't made it grocery shopping for awhile.; 8/28/17, 12:36 PM

My standard of comparison is Japanese supermarkets, which make US supermarkets look like the third world. Also, tender and easily bruised fruits like peaches are carefully packaged with those little foam sleeves. They better be, really, given how expensive they are.; 8/28/17, 12:45 PM

They target the retiree couple niche around here. Everything is packaged in smaller portions that you'd get at Safeway or Wal-mart. They're a bit more expensive than the chain stores, though.

bagoh20 said...: I've always disagreed with the adage that "you get what you pay for." Going cheap is often a mistake, and although paying more usually increases the chance of getting quality, it only guarantees a high price. So paying less prevents you from getting the worse possible outcome: high price and low quality.; 8/28/17, 2:19 PM

Lol. It's funny 'cause it's true.

I don't know if its an old thing. Some people are foodies, some are frugal shoppers, and some of us can care about what we eat and other things.

It does annoy some young people when you go on and on about food or crab about how much things cost "now days".

If they had supermarket prices but continued to handle fruit carefully - well, I'd be very tempted.
