The Best Day Of The Week To Buy Whole Foods Chicken

Whole Foods Market is kind of universally understood to be a higher-end, more expensive grocery store chain. But with food prices on the rise, is Whole Foods still inaccessible compared to traditionally cheaper alternatives? In the South, Publix has raised prices so much that Whole Foods has even become the cheaper alternative for organic groceries. Whole Foods isn’t going to be cheaper than Walmart or Aldi anytime soon, but Whole Foods has actually become more accessible for organic groceries over time. To combat the high prices, Whole Foods has even begun to have in-store deals available to Amazon Prime members.

How To Get The Deal

The perspective shift of Whole Foods being an increasingly affordable grocery store is in part due to the deals available for shoppers with Amazon Prime accounts. Since the acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon in 2017, there has been increased availability to score deals on your everyday groceries. The in-store price labels often have two prices listed―one with the traditional retail value and a reduced price with the Amazon Prime member value. Not all items have these reduced prices available, but over time the cents add up to dollars and any deal counts.  

Since roughly three-quarters of adult Americans have Amazon Prime memberships, there’s a pretty good chance you already qualify for the savings. And with Whole Foods’ “Days of Deals” offer, your shopping strategy at Whole Foods could end up saving you big bucks. The “Days of Deals” offer is available only to in-store shoppers with Amazon Prime memberships, two days a week.  

Days Of Deals

On Fridays, the company offers big savings to get your weekend started off right, including deals like $8 bottles of wine, $10 family-sized tiramisus, and a $12 dozen of oysters. On Tuesdays, Whole Foods offers “dinner deals.” This includes savings like $2 off versatile rotisserie chickens and buy-one-get-one 50% off their fresh soups, individually packaged fresh meals, ground beef, and bread. So for cheaper rotisserie chicken, Tuesdays are the way to go.

Making healthy soups, salads, and sandwiches to keep you feeling strong and energized throughout the work week just got a whole lot cheaper. Whether you’re feeding a family with a health focus and a tighter budget, or trying to meal-prep with intention, the Whole Foods “Days of Deals” gives its shoppers the opportunity to take advantage of their Amazon Prime memberships in ways significant enough to make a difference in their budgets.
