An Amazon press release previously stated that Prime members would be receiving "special savings and in-store benefits," and that the two companies were working towards achieving lower prices on popular food items like bananas, eggs, fish, kale, lettuce, almond butter, apples, rotisserie chicken, ground beef, and even avocados.

"We’re determined to make healthy and organic food affordable for everyone. Everybody should be able to eat Whole Foods Market quality – we will lower prices without compromising Whole Foods Market’s long-held commitment to the highest standards," Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Consumer said in a statement on Thursday.

How customers feel about the swanky new prices

One customer at the Union Square Whole Foods in NYC explained that with school starting up again sales are key. "As a student I buy just what’s on sale," she said, positively reacting to the drop.

Another customer noted that Amazon products like Echos and Dots are currently being sold at a discount in the middle of Whole Foods' produce section. "I thought it was interesting because I heard about Amazon buying Whole Foods," she said. "The Amazon Dots and Echos were at the bottom of the escalator. They featured the normal prices and then the new reduced price..."
