Amazon Launches Discounted Grocery Delivery for Prime and SNAP Recipients

The new subscription service offers unlimited deliveries for a reduced fee, aiming to make grocery shopping more affordable for a wider audience.

  • Amazon's new grocery delivery program offers unlimited deliveries for orders over $35, charging $9.99 per month for Prime members and $4.99 for SNAP recipients.
  • The service, which includes retailers like Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh, does not require SNAP recipients to join Prime to benefit.
  • A pilot program in cities like Columbus and Denver received positive feedback, leading to a nationwide rollout.
  • The subscription can pay for itself with just one order per month, making it a cost-effective option for frequent shoppers.
  • Non-Prime members with SNAP can also access the service, potentially increasing Amazon's customer base among lower-income shoppers.
