Right before Amazon completed its Aug. 28, 2017, Whole Foods Purchase, the promise of "lower prices" at Whole Foods – nicknamed "Whole Paycheck" – go back to the press release announcing the news. A year later, average prices at Whole Foods have not moved much, a study has found.
In seven pricing studies of a basket of 108 items over the past year, from the week before the acquisition was completed Aug. 27, 2018, Gordon Haskett analyst Chuck Grom found that the basketball market was just 0.8% below the price before the acquisition was completed. In fact, compared with Whole Foods' first round of price cuts under Amazon a year ago, the study found.
Including such perks as the top of the page 27, Prime members got savings of about $ 1.50 on the $ 400-plus total basket compared with non-Prime members.
While "deeperpricing pricing" on key items and incremental savings, including 5% back for Prime credit card users, "the world is a consumer, the reality is that . There are "no signs of price action against the noise."
Well, the "noise" continues. On Wednesday, New York City, Los Angeles and Dallas / Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Memphis and New Orleans and additional neighborhoods in New York City.
To be fair, they are becoming more important than they are. They are doing business in the first place.
Grom also acknowledged "modest inflation and suppliers passing on a portion of higher fuel prices" slightly a year after the acquisition. He said price cuts have been "tilted towards" Whole Foods' 365 private-label lines.
For instance, 2.3% a year after the acquisition while Whole Foods' private-label pricing went up just 0.3%, the study showed.
For instance, the price of Pomegranate at Whole Foods rose to $ 11.49, from $ 10.99, over the past year while the price of Whole Foods' $ 365 white tortillas declined to $ 2.49, from $ 2.79, over the same period, the study showed.

Since March, the total price has moved up 0.4%; 21% on 11 items, the study found. Throughout the study period, the price of most items in the basket actually stayed flat.
Still, regardless of the reality of the price changes at Whole Foods, all of the Amazon-related publicity has appeared to give consumers a boost in the eyes of consumers.
A Field Agent survey of more than 500 Whole Foods shoppers in June found that the percentage of those who say "Whole Foods is better under Amazon far outnumber those who believe it's headed in the wrong direction." "Have improved" under Amazon while 46% perceive no difference. Only 5% think prices got "worse."
The noise does not seem to matter after all.
