Amazon’s updated grocery delivery program has some strings attached

After asserting itself as an overshadowing presence in retail, Amazon is still experimenting with ways to leave a similar mark with grocery shopping. The company’s latest tweak to the service lowers the minimum price for free grocery deliveries to $35.

Those include Cardenas Markets, Save Mart, Bartell Drugs, Rite Aid, Pet Food Express, Mission Wine & Spirits and more. Early last year, the company increased the minimum checkout price for free grocery deliveries from $35 to $150, then dropped it to $100(while voiding the Prime requirement) about 10 months later. The company says over 85 percent of survey respondents who used the service were “extremely” or “very” satisfied, leaving high marks for its convenience and savings on delivery fees.
