Amazon Prime members can now get discounts at Whole Foods in 12 states!



It's official! Amazon Prime members can now get discounts at Whole Foods in a dozen states.

If you're a resident of Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Northern California, Kansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas or Lousiana, make sure to download the Whole Foods app on to your smartphone. The app has been completely updated; it no longer has in-store coupons. Instead, it will ask you to log in to the app with your Amazon account, linking the two entities.

Once you've done that, you'll get access to all sorts of Prime-member only discounts and 10% off select sale items at Whole Foods Market. All you need to do to get these discounts is to show the cashier the special QR code that's generated in the app.  Once he/she scans it, the discounts will apply to your total.

Links to new Whole Foods Market app (open on your smartphone):

If you don't have a smartphone or you'd rather not download another app, you can also connect your Whole Foods account to your Amazon account here, by associating your mobile number with both accounts.  Then you just give the cashier at Whole Foods your mobile account number when you check out, and the discounts will automatically apply.

The rest of the USA  will be added to the Amazon Prime/Whole Foods discount program over the course of the summer.

Air conditioner deals on Amazon, starting at $136 shipped



Amazon has got this Frigidaire 5,000 BTU 115V Window-Mounted Mini-Compact Air Conditioner with Mechanical Controls (model #FFRA0511R1) for $135.55 with free Prime shipping. It got 4.1 out of 5 stars over 2,219 customer reviews and is an "Amazon's Choice" item.
  • 5,000 BTU mini-compact air conditioner for window-mounted installation uses standard 115V electrical outlet (Window mounting kit included)
  • Quickly cools a room up to 150 sq. ft. with dehumidification up to 1.1 pints per hour
  • Mechanical rotary controls, 2 cool speeds, 2 fan speeds, and 2-way air direction
  • Low power start-up, quiet operation and effortless restart
  • Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): 11.1, Measures: 16-Inches W x 15-1/4-Inches D x 12-Inches H


Amazon also has this Frigidaire 10.000 BTU 115-volt Window-Mounted Compact Air Conditioner with Remote Control (model #FFRA1022R1) for $269.00 with free Prime shipping.  It also got 4.0 out of 5 stars over 164 customer reviews.
  • 10,000 BTU compact air conditioner for window-mounted installation uses standard 115V electrical outlet (Window mounting kit included)
  • Quickly cools a room up to 450 sq. ft. with dehumidification up to 2.7 pints per hour
  • Multi-speed electronic controls with 24-hr. on/off timer and full-function remote control
  • Auto cool, Energy Saver mode, Sleep mode, fresh air vent, exhaust control, 8-way air direction and washable mesh filter with check filter alert
  • Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): 10.9
When buying an air conditioner, make sure you match up the size of the room to the number of BTUs of the unit. These are the recommended BTU's for a given cooling area from Consumer Reports:
  • Small room: 5,000 - 6,000 BTU for 100-300 sq. ft. 
  • Medium room: 7,000 - 8,200 BTU for 250-550 sq. ft. 
  • Large room: 9,800 to 12,500 BTU's for 350-950 sq. ft. area.
When buying an air conditioner unit, I like to stick to well-known brand names like Frigidaire, LG, or Freidrich.  Buying one online at places like Amazon has the huge advantage of free Prime shipping for a very heavy item. When you buy an air conditioner from a store, you usually have to haul it home yourself or pay a substantial delivery fee. (Make sure that when you buy one online, you really want it, because unless it arrives damaged or not working, you will have to pay return shipping.)
