Whole Foods will get cheaper starting Monday, the day Amazon's $13.7 billion acquisition of the grocer is set to go through.
The companies are planning sea changes including discounts for Prime members and cheaper food for everyone.
"To get started, we're going to lower prices beginning Monday on a selection of best-selling grocery staples, including Whole Trade organic bananas, responsibly farmed salmon, organic large brown eggs, animal-welfare-rated 85% lean ground beef, and more," the companies said Thursday in a release.
Whole Foods' private-label 365 products will also be available on Amazon.
Offering discounted prices on groceries is most likely a move aimed at helping repair the organic chain's infamous "Whole Paycheck" image.
