Amazon Is Expanding Same-Day Grocery Delivery to Over 2000 Cities
Amazon wants people to shop for eggs, milk, and other fresh groceries on its online shop. The e-commerce giant announced on Wednesday that same-day delivery for perishable grocery items, including meat and seafood, is now available in more than 1,000 cities, including Phoenix, Orlando, Raleigh, and Milwaukee. It plans to expand the service even further to over 2,300 U.S. cities by the end of the year and even more towns in 2026. 'We're continuously innovating to make grocery shopping simpler, faster, and more affordable for our customers, especially Prime members,' said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, in a press release. He added that eligible customers can now 'order milk alongside electronics; oranges, apples, and potatoes with a mystery novel; and frozen pizza at the same time as tools for their next home improvement project' and get everything dropped off at their door within hours. This is part of Amazon's continued efforts to disrupt the lucrative $1 trillion grocery industry. The company acquired Whole Foods in 2017 and first opened physical Amazon Fresh grocery stores in 2020. The newly expanded service now puts Amazon in even more direct competition with Walmart and other grocery delivery services like Instacart. Both companies' stocks took a hit following the announcement. Prime members get free Same-Day Delivery on grocery orders that cost more than $25 in most cities. Orders below that can still get delivered the same day for a fee of $2.99. Non-Prime customers can also use the service for a flat $12.99 fee, no matter how much they spend. Amazon says early adoption in regions where the service was already available has shown just how popular groceries are with Prime customers. Strawberries regularly push AirPods out of the top five best-selling products, while bananas, Honeycrisp apples, limes, and avocados rank among the most popular items in same-day grocery delivery orders. The company first rolled out same-day delivery services in 2015 and has since become an expert in logistics. For its fresh grocery deliveries, which can be very sensitive to temperature, Amazon relies on its specialized, temperature-controlled fulfillment network. The company says every item goes through a six-point quality check both upon arrival and before being delivered in recyclable, insulated bags. Amazon says it has already generated $100 billion in gross sales of groceries and household essentials in 2024, excluding sales from Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh. During the first three months of 2025, sales of everyday essentials — including groceries — grew more than twice as fast as all other categories in the U.S., accounting for one out of every three units sold, according to Amazon.

More Than Just Free Shipping: Here Are 19 Underrated Amazon Prime Perks
Your Amazon Prime membership gives you access to great perks like free two-day shipping. But did you know you can also get free same-day delivery when you order perishable groceries? Here's another unexpected benefit: You can actually save money on gas with your Prime subscription. From grocery deals to streaming extras, there's a lot more value packed into your membership than most people realize and a lot of those discounts can be used beyond Amazon.

Prime Day 2025 is Changing: New Drops, More Drama Sure, a 30-day free trial lets you take advantage of limited-time deals but it only lets you scratch the surface of all that a membership has to offer. It might surprise you to learn what else you can get by being a Prime member. Below, we're going to break down some of the best perks you may not know about. Spoiler: Some of them are bangers. For more, don't miss out on the best Amazon tech deals and how to get great savings on Amazon right now with coupons. 1. Watch HBO or other premium TV channels without cable You probably know about Prime Video and Amazon Music Prime but you might not know all the special details. Amazon Prime members have access to a large number of feature-length movies and hit original TV shows like The Boys and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, as well as an Amazon Music Prime library featuring 2 million songs and thousands of curated playlists. Prime members can also download movies and TV shows for watching later offline. If a show or movie you want to watch is not included as part of your basic Prime subscription, you can subscribe to premium channels such as HBO, Showtime and Starz for $5 to $15 a month, with no need for cable or satellite service. Music lovers can upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited to get a library of 90 million songs that can be streamed to multiple devices for $9 a month or $89 a year. 2. Get money back by choosing no-rush shipping If you don't need your purchase to be delivered quickly, you can opt out of two-day or shorter delivery options by selecting "no-rush shipping" and receive your package in about six days. In return for your patience, Amazon will give you rewards. There's no standard for no-rush shipping rewards -- they vary from item to item -- but they generally provide discounts on products and services that you might buy from Amazon. Some common rewards are $1 credits for Amazon digital services like movies, music and ebooks, $3 coupons for Amazon's Happy Belly-branded snacks, $10 to $20 off TV or furniture purchases and $10 to $20 off Amazon Home Services. The value of no-rush shipping will depend on whether you'll use any of the rewards. It might not seem like much, but a few no-rush shipping selections could easily earn you the $3 to $4 you need for a free movie rental from Prime Video. 3. Whole Foods grocery discounts If you're a frequent shopper at Whole Foods, an Amazon Prime membership can reap serious dividends. Prime Member Deals available in physical Whole Foods stores give members discounts of 10% to 20% on selected items marked with blue Amazon stickers. Yellow tags indicate even further savings, usually at least another 10% off an already discounted price. Prime members who scan the Whole Foods Market or Amazon app at checkout get an extra 10% off storewide sales. Prime membership also gives you access to special online deals. 4. Exclusive access to Thursday night NFL football games Prime Video launched its NFL coverage in 2017. Amazon/Screenshot by CNET It's the second year that Amazon Prime has had exclusive rights to air Thursday Night Football, and Prime seems to be killing the game. It received five Sports Emmys nominations for its 2022 coverage and boasts a stacked cast of experts, commentators and former players. If you are a Prime subscriber, you can stream 2023-2024 Thursday Night Football games on Prime Video, NFL +, or Twitch. There is also a Spanish-language broadcast available on Prime Video. TNF pregame coverage begins at 7 p.m. EST each Thursday. 5. Free same-day Amazon Fresh delivery Whole Foods isn't the only grocery option available to Amazon Prime members. Subscribers also have access to the online grocery store Amazon Fresh, which provides free deliveries to some locations. Amazon Fresh has some similar products to Whole Foods but generally focuses on a broader range of groceries and home products at lower prices. Anyone can purchase products from Amazon Fresh but only Prime members get free same-day delivery. Amazon Fresh also has 44 physical locations that offer special weekly deals for Prime members. 6. Free same-day delivery for perishable groceries Similar to Amazon Fresh, a new service gives Amazon users access to perishable groceries with same-day delivery service. More than 1,000 cities and towns in the US can now get groceries delivered within hours and Amazon plans to expand the service to more than 2,300 locations by the end of 2025. Same-day delivery is available to all Amazon customers for $12.99 but it's free for Prime members who order at least $25 worth of groceries (it costs $2.99 if your order is less than $25). If you're running low on milk and eggs and you don't have time to make a trip to the grocery store, this is a great way to stock up without leaving the house. 7. Try on clothes and shoes before you buy them It's almost impossible to size clothing correctly online -- to know if it fits, you have to try it on. Prime members get that chance with Amazon's Try Before You Buy service. In specific personal shopping categories like clothes, shoes and accessories, you can order items and keep them for seven days without paying for them. Return what you don't want before the trial week is over and you'll only pay for the items that you keep. Eligible products are indicated on Amazon with a "Try Before You Buy" icon. Several online reports have indicated a limit of six products for Try Before You Buy but the Amazon site doesn't specify a maximum. 8. Borrow unlimited books, magazines and comics Amazon Prime members gain access to Prime Reading, a service similar to Kindle Unlimited with a different collection of materials. You can borrow as many books as you like, and many include audible narration, so you can switch back and forth between reading and listening. The electronic downloads don't require a Kindle or Fire device. Amazon First Reads gives Prime members access to editors' selections of early book releases. Anyone with a Prime membership gets one free Kindle book a month, as well as regular discounts on selected titles. 9. Prime-exclusive deals and promos Amazon offers Prime-exclusive deals all-year round on top products meaning you can make back the cost of your membership in savings. For big shopping seasons like Black Friday or Prime Day, there are even more member-only prices to shop. Plus, Prime subscribers often get early access to Lightning Deals. These are sort of like Amazon's version of a fire sale, featuring very low prices for a limited number of products that usually sell out very quickly. The good news for Amazon Prime members is that they get access to these deals earlier than everyone else. The bad news? There are a lot of Amazon Prime members. 10. Exclusive Zappos deals, faster shipping and a test month for running shoes Amazon acquired the online shoe giant Zappos in 2009, and it now provides a number of benefits for Prime members who link their accounts on Prime members get faster shipping, bonus reward points for shopping and exclusive deals on certain products. Zappos also lets Prime members participate in Runlimited, a 30-day guarantee program for running shoes. 11. Save money on prescription drugs online Amazon Prime members have exclusive access to Amazon RxPass. The subscription service provides all of your eligible medications for a single payment of $5 a month, regardless of how many prescriptions you have. More than 50 commonly prescribed medications are available. Amazon says that the average member with an RxPass saves 38% on medications but it's important to note that Amazon's Prime Rx savings program does not work with health insurance. You'll need to be sure that any savings you get from the program are more than you'd get from insurance coverage. 12. One Medical membership discounts One Medical is a membership-based health service that provides primary in-person and virtual health care. Its concierge-like medical service is designed to allow members to easily schedule appointments and care using the company's mobile app or website. Amazon acquired One Medical in 2023 and is now offering a major discount for Prime members. Instead of the usual price of $199 a year, Amazon Prime members can subscribe for $99 a year, or $9 per month. To activate the discount, Prime members should visit this page. Existing One Medical subscribers who are Prime members can also take advantage of the discount starting with their next payment. 13. Access to Prime Gaming Prime Gaming is a fun feature that is included with Amazon Prime and Prime Video. Eligible subscribers are able to download content in-game for their favorite games, free games and even a free monthly Twitch channel subscription. Prime Gaming is included with annual and monthly Prime subscriptions, Prime Student subscriptions, Amazon Prime free trials, and Prime Video memberships. It's important to note that only one member per household may claim an offer and if you have a Prime Video monthly free trial you will be unable to claim a free Twitch subscription. If you are using a free trial of Student Prime, your free Twitch membership will expire when your free trial expires. 14. Unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos With a subscription to Amazon Prime, you can store unlimited photos and 5GB of video on Amazon Photos. Without Amazon Prime, you're limited to a total of 5GB of videos and photos total. You can view or share your photos and videos on Amazon Photos using the iOS or Android app, or on a computer with the desktop or web app. Your photo and video files are fully encrypted, so they're only visible to people with whom you intentionally share them. 15. Get discounts on Shutterfly Amazon has partnered with photography company Shutterfly to offer Prime members 45% off most regular-priced products. Shoppers also can get free shipping on orders of $35 or more. To get the discount, you'll have to link your Shutterfly and Amazon accounts. If you store your photos with Amazon, you can now access your Amazon Photos directly from Shutterfly. This makes it extra convenient for Prime members to share images from their extensive photo library. 16. Get a free Grubhub Plus membership Don't feel like cooking tonight? There's a perk for that, too. When Amazon announced it would offer Grubhub Plus free for a year in 2022, it was a solid, but temporary, perk added to Prime. In 2023, Prime members were treated to another free year. For 2024, instead of renewing the food delivery service's premium membership again for another year, Grubhub Plus became a permanent Amazon Prime perk. Grubhub Plus typically costs $9.99 a month and provides unlimited free delivery for all orders over $12 in more than 4,000 cities nationwide. 17. Save on Amazon Kids Plus If you have Amazon Prime, you also get access to discounted Amazon Kids Plus. The subscription service features a range of ad-free content, including books, games and videos for children ages 3 to 12. Parents can limit the amount of screen time available to their children and manage up to four profiles on iOS and Android. The Amazon Kids Plus subscription is normally $79 a year but Prime members can get it for $48 a year. 18. Get your package on the day you want it with Amazon Day If none of the usual delivery dates work for you, you have one additional option as a Prime member. Amazon Day is a free perk that lets you schedule your packages to arrive on your day of choice. Next time you're on vacation, you don't have to arrange for the neighbors to help you bring in your boxes, and you won't have to worry about porch pirates stealing your delivery on days when you're not home. Amazon Day is also a great option to cut down on the number of boxes for your packages, as you can schedule multiple purchases to arrive as a single delivery. 19. Save money on gas Do you spend several hours each week driving to and from work? If you're an Amazon Prime member living in the US, your dollar will now stretch a little farther at the gas pump. You can save 10 cents per gallon at BP, Amoco and AM/PM gas stations -- there are about 7,000 locations across the 50 states. Amazon estimates that this perk will save the average American nearly $70 per year. To get the full 10-cent-per-gallon discount, Prime members must create a free earnify™ account and link it to their Prime account. You can use the earnify™ app to find stations, then simply go to the pump and enter your phone number or linked payment method for instant savings. (Using the earnify™ app is optional -- it just needs to be linked to your Prime account.) For more about Amazon Prime and what to expect from this year's back-to-school deals.

The best deals I would shop from Best Buy's Tech Fest
'Never buy full price' is a mantra we try our best to adhere to at NBC Select. Thankfully, you can find good deals on most things year-round, if you know where to look. Right now, Best Buy is offering tech deals through its Best Buy Tech Fest event, which ends this Sunday (8/17/25). I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a tech reporter for NBC Select. Below are the deals I think are actually worth it. LG is one of the best TV brands because of its stellar OLED TV lineup. This is one of its latest models, with new processors that can deliver improved performance for things like AI picture upscaling, motion processing and more. It's also brighter and slimmer than last year's C4 Series. This latest Roku streaming device supports 4K resolutions and vivid HDR color. It plugs into the HDMI port on your TV, and is one of our favorite streaming devices because of its easy to use menus and interface. We've used different MacBook Air laptops for school, work, travel, creative pursuits and everything in-between. This latest model is compact and lightweight — the three-ish pound laptop doesn't add much heft to your backpack compared to other laptops, even after a day of walking around. Both the 13-inch version and the 15-inch version get up to 18 hours of battery life, which is excellent compared to similarly-priced competitors. The biggest changes from the previous model are internal. The new laptop has the latest M4 chip inside, which has improved all-around performance compared to older versions. It also has a new webcam that can automatically keep you centered in the frame during video calls, even if you move around Like the previous versions, AirPods 4 have a semi-open ear design that means you can hear the environment around you more than with traditional earbuds. It also means they don't have rubber eartips — which can lead to a more comfortable fit for some people. They are also IP54 dust and water resistant, and get up to 30 hours of battery life (with the charging case). This is one of the slimmest and more minimal fitness trackers around, and it's 20% off right now. It can track basics like health, sleep and fitness, and it has a built-in GPS for accurate outdoor mileage. It gets up to 10 days of battery life. This is my favorite digital photo frame, and the first time it's gone on sale since it launched earlier this year. It's easy to setup and it's easy for friends and family to share photos. It also blends in easily with my home decor and doesn't scream 'smart home tech' on a table or bookshelf. This portable Bluetooth speaker is excellent if you plan on being anywhere near water. That's because it's IP67 dust and waterproof and, most importantly, it floats in water. It's small and compact enough to easily fit into most bags and backpacks for any trip. Dyson makes many of our favorite vacuums, and this model is nearly 30% off right now. It's lightweight at just under seven pounds, and it gets up to 60 minutes of run time, long enough to clean most small to medium-sized homes. Plus it comes with many different accessories, including two motorbar cleaner heads, a hair screw tool and a crevice tool. Having a hard time holding your phone? Us too, phones are pretty big these days. Most NBC Select staffers have some kind of grip on the back of their phone, the most time-tested being this one from Popsockets. It has a collapsible grip that snaps onto the back of your iPhone using MagSafe, and can make it easier to hold your phone with one hand, in our experience. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a reporter at NBC Select who covers technology and fitness including recent stories on smartwatches, running shoes and cameras. To find the best deals at Best Buy's Tech Fest, I found staff-tested and highly rated products on sale for the event.
