Amazon expands same-day delivery with persishable groceries in 1,000 cities
The company is expanding same-day delivery to include dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods and frozen foods in cities such as Raleigh, N.C.; Tampa, Fla.; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.; and will reach up to 2,300 cities by the end of 2025.
Amazon was testing the service last year and it found many customers ordering strawberries,bananas, avocado and other perishables.
"Many of these shoppers were first-time Amazon grocery customers who now return to shop twice as often with same-day delivery service compared to those who didn't purchase fresh food," the company said in a press release.
For Prime members on orders over $25 it's free, if it doesn't hit the minimum it's a $2.99 fee. For customers without Prime, they can pay a $12.99 fee to use the service.
"Amazon works hard to help customers feel confident in the fresh food they're purchasing online. Its specialized temperature-controlled fulfillment network ensures customers receive fresh, high-quality perishable grocery items, with every item undergoing a six-point quality check upon arrival and before leaving for delivery," according to a press release.

Amazon Slashes 25% Apple's Latest M3 iPad Air in Every Color Just in Time for Back to School
Apple's iPad Air M3 tablet is the latest one in the iPad Air collection. Plus it ranks as the best tablet for students. And luckily, it's often the subject of a discount at various retailers. But this current round of deals slashes it to its lowest price yet -- and we don't expect it to go much lower any time soon. What better way to kick off the back-to-school season? Amazon is now offering the entry-level 128GB 11-inch M3 iPad Air for just $449, down from the usual $599. That's a respectable $150 discount, as long as you choose the space gray model. Other colors are discounted but not as significantly on Amazon. Need a bigger display? The same $150 discount applies to the 13-inch model as well, with all the colors on sale. Both Walmart and Best Buy are currently matching Amazon's prices and they have all colors marked down. The latest iPad Air comes with the fast M3 chip, so it won't struggle to play all the latest games or run the most capable apps. It features a gorgeous Liquid Retina display in 11- and 13-inch size options, just like the eye-wateringly priced M4 iPad Pro. Other specs worth noting include fast Wi-Fi 6E support for streaming content and downloading apps, while storage options go all the way to 1TB. To learn more, check out our full review of the iPad Air M3. Need to take your iPad on the road? Models with cellular connectivity are also offered, again with a $50 discount. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Why this deal matters This is the best iPad Air that Apple has ever made, and it's a very viable alternative to the iPad Pro for people who want a great tablet without spending laptop-like sums of cash. It comes in multiple colors and will be a great tablet for years to come.

Why Wait for the Pixel 10 When You Can Grab the Pixel 9 Pro Fold for $600 Off?
We'll be getting our first look at Google's new Pixel 10 phones next week at its Made by Google event on Aug. 20. And it looks like some retailers are eager to make room for the new lineup. Amazon just slashed $600 off the advanced Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is the biggest straightforward price cut we've ever seen. That drops this foldable model down to a record-low $1,199 -- $100 cheaper than the previous best price. A deal this good will last for long, so be sure to get your order in sooner rather than later. In our review of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, mobile expert Lisa Eadicicco said the device is "more polished and practical" in terms of design than its predecessor, feeling like "a big leap" forward. As well as the improved physical form, she praised its larger screens and the substantial seven-year software update commitment Google has made for this model. One major issue was the price, but a massive $600 discount goes a long way toward addressing that. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. This 2024 foldable features a durable 6.3-inch Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover screen and a stunning 8-inch Super Actua Flex interior display. You can even run two apps side-by-side, making it great for multitasking. On the inside, the basic model comes with 256GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, and is equipped with Google's advanced G4 Tensor chip. All of this in a phone that weighs in at just 9.1 ounces and is just 0.2 inches thick when open (or 0.4 inches when closed). Why this deal matters Google's foldable phone is the most expensive in the lineup, meaning tech fans have to pay a premium to get one. With this deal, the price is cut substantially, dropping it down to a new record-low. The price reduction here makes this one of the best Google Pixel deals around for anyone not looking to trade an old phone in or get a new line. It's a solid discount.
