While Amazon last week shared a list of products expected to be discounted on Monday, a trip to local Whole Foods stores indicate that the price cuts are already broader than announced. For example, prices on some grocery staples – like milk, cheese, pasta sauce, meats, and more – have also been slashed as of this morning. >On Friday, Amazon had detailed how the merger between the two retailers would impact consumers. It noted that Amazon Prime would eventually be integrated into Whole Foods point-of-sale system, allowing Prime members to receive special savings and other in-store benefits.
