Whole Foods is pushing back prices once again.
“The standards for how our products are sourced, grown and produced are powerful and set Whole Foods Market apart from the competition,” founder and CEO John Mackey said in a statement. “We will continue to focus on both lowering prices and bringing customers the quality they trust and the innovative assortment they expect from our brand.”
The company said the price cuts would impact hundreds of items with a focus on “peak-of-season produce” like greens, tomatoes and tropical fruits like mangoes, which will now go for $1 apiece.
Whole Foods will also offer special benefits for Amazon Prime members in the form of more than 300 deals that’ll rotate on a weekly basis.
Various April deals include 35 percent off all Justin’s brand products, 20 percent off prepared sandwiches and wraps, and $2 off per pound of organic strawberries.
