FAQs
How do I order groceries on Amazon Prime?
Make sure you're logged into your Amazon Prime account, select the "Groceries" tab under the search bar, then select "shop deals online." Now, you're free to shop deals and use the search bar at the top as usual to explore grocery items via either Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh. Add items to your cart, and when you're ready to check out, select if you want to pick up the groceries from your nearest Fresh or Whole Foods location or have them delivered.
Does Amazon Prime deliver groceries?
Yes, however, now Prime has implemented tier-pricing fees for all deliveries under $150. Non-Prime members will still have to pay tier-pricing delivery feeds no matter their order amount. To get your groceries delivered, select "delivery" at checkout.
Is it cheaper to shop for groceries weekly or monthly?
Even if you meal prep, it's worth shopping weekly with Prime to take advantage of new weekly — or even daily — deals.
Was Prime Pantry discontinued?
Yes. In January 2021, Amazon got rid of Prime Pantry or Amazon Pantry. Amazon Grocery Outlet, however, is a good alternative with the same concept.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
This year, Amazon's annual Prime-exclusive sales event runs July 16 and 17. Anyone with a Prime membership or Prime membership trial during these dates is eligible for select savings.
