Jeff Bezos, hitting the gym huh? Rumor is wants to go to space. What a metaphor though. 

1998, buy books from us, 2017, I'll buy whatever the **** I want to buy.

Bezos richest man passing Bill Gates

Will be interesting to see details of price reductions tomorrow.

Gonna drop by Whole Check today to see the changes for myself. Looks like the biggest reductions are in produce.

A noticeable number of items were cheaper, lots to go though - downgrade to Whole Check-ish, maybe? 

The stand below is bizarre though. Kindles next? The big A trying to infiltrate its way into your world anywhere it can.

Amazon lockers @ Whole Foods - now that will be interesting to observe. I was expecting an expanded kitchenware and gadgets section.

STARTING TODAY, Whole Foods Market is offering lower prices on a selection of best-selling staples across its stores, with much more to come.

Customers can enjoy lower prices on products like Whole Trade bananas, organic avocados, organic large brown eggs, responsibly-farmed salmon and tilapia, organic baby kale and baby lettuce, animal-welfare-rated 85 percent lean ground beef, creamy and crunchy almond butter, organic Gala and Fuji apples, organic rotisserie chicken, 365 Everyday Value organic butter, and much more.
    
IN THE FUTURE, after certain technical integration work is complete, Amazon Prime will become Whole Foods Market’s customer rewards program, providing Prime members with special savings and other in-store benefits.

Whole Foods Market’s healthy and high-quality private label products—including 365 Everyday Value, Whole Foods Market, Whole Paws and Whole Catch—will be available through Amazon.com, AmazonFresh, Prime Pantry, and Prime Now.

Amazon Lockers will be available in select Whole Foods Market stores. Customers can have products shipped from Amazon.com to their local Whole Foods Market store for pick up or send returns back to Amazon during a trip to the store.

Yeah, like that's gonna help.

Hey, let's give Amazon the keys to our house and a front door video cam to monitor our comings and goings.

I noticed there's Prime Wardrobe now too, try before you buy, cheaper Amazon labelled clothing.

I've bought Amazon labeled HDMI cables, golf shirts (they're actually pretty good and no labeling, no logos, wicks moisture pretty good although a tad more abrasive on the skin) and batteries. Most cabling, I will go Anker or Monoprice. The list of products under the Amazonbasics name is long. Rechargeable batteries I went back to Eneloop.
