As of today, Amazon announced a new grocery delivery service for Prime users and people in the U.S. who have an EBT card (Electronic Benefit Transfer). This service is available in 3,500 cities and towns.
Last year, the company tested grocery service in three cities: Columbus, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California. People with an Amazon Prime membership pay $9.99 a month, while people with a registered EBT card pay $4.99 a month.
The Amazon site lets subscribers get free deliveries on food orders over $35 from Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and other nearby grocery and specialty stores like Cardenas Markets, Save Mart, Bartell Drugs, Rite Aid, Pet Food Express, and Mission Wine & Spirit. People can try it for free for 30 days before they have to pay.
As a subscriber, you get free delivery windows of one hour, unlimited 30-minute pickup for orders of any size, and first access to recurring reservations for a weekly shopping run.
They said that the service “pays for itself” if you buy something from Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods Market just once a month for less than $50.
On the same level as Amazon’s new food delivery plan, Walmart Plus costs $12.95 a month or $98 a year. Target also has a deal that delivers groceries for free and costs $99 a year. The smallest order for both of these plans is the same as the smallest order for Amazon’s food subscription plan.
