(KTLA) – Amazon on Tuesday unveiled its new grocery delivery program, which is open to Prime members and recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
For about $10 a month, Prime members will have access to unlimited grocery delivery for orders over $35 from Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh and various local grocery retailers on Amazon.com.
The program will be available to SNAP recipients for $4.99 per month.
“The subscription pays for itself in as little as one delivery order per month from Whole Foods Market, or one delivery order per month from Amazon Fresh for under $50,” Amazon said in a news release.
Amazon launched a pilot program of its new grocery delivery service in Columbus, Ohio; Denver, and Sacramento, California, late last year. The decision to give the program a nationwide release was partially due to positive feedback from the pilot test, according to the e-commerce company.
The company’s newest program is similar to delivery services from Target and Walmart, both of which debuted in recent years.
