OUR VERDICT
Whole Foods via Amazon Prime

Best for: Amazon Prime subscribers who buy organic produce, specialty items, or 365 Everyday Value products regularly. The $0 delivery fee on orders over $100 turns an existing $139 per year Prime membership into a grocery delivery service with no markup.

Try Whole Foods Delivery
Instacart

Best for: Shoppers in suburban or mid-size cities who need to order from multiple different retailers in a single week (like Costco, Aldi, and a local pharmacy) and are willing to pay a premium for that flexibility.
