Have the prices in Whole Foods really dropped since Monday?

Asked by jca (36062points) August 29th, 2017

On the news, they’re saying since Monday (yesterday), the prices of some items have gone down as much as 40%.

I’m away on vacation right now. I don’t often go to Whole Foods anyway, because of the prices.

They also talked about some special specifically for Prime members, which is me, so I’m curious.

There’s one 3 miles from my house here in Boston. I’ll check it out and let you know.

According to the local paper, yes. But there isn’t one anywhere near me, so I can’t say for sure.

I think that even if some items are 40% cheaper, they were 80% more expensive than Kroger before, so my guess is that the true savings to the consumer will be less than stellar.

Yes, I saw some prices lower last night, although I was making a quick foray to get almond butter and that was about it.

The price of apples was lower by about 50 cents a lb.

I heard salmon went from $14.99/lb. to $9.99/lb.

Of course, I can still get salmon for $7.99/lb. at Wegman’s.

No evidence of Amazon at my local Boston store. Same outrageously high prices.

I have seen chat from self-proclaimed employees about the price changes, which also mentioned that some prices are actually going up, too.

Yay! There isn’t one near me, and I rarely go there because of the prices, but Whole Foods is a vegetarian’s paradise.

I’ll check it out next week and hopefully stick up

@Kardamom I assume you’re not planning criminal activity? D
