After buying Whole Foods in 2017, Amazon made a couple of bold pronouncements about lowering prices at the grocery chain. It made a third this week, saying that it was offering lower prices on hundreds of items, especially fresh produce, without going into much detail. “We will continue to focus on both lowering prices and bringing customers the quality they trust,” John Mackey, the chief executive of Whole Foods Market, said in an announcement. We bought those groceries on Tuesday at the Whole Foods across the street from Bryant Park in Manhattan. We did not apply a Prime membership to either purchase.
