The latest cities to get Whole Foods delivery courtesy of Amazon Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan; Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida; Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Omaha, Nebraska; St. Louis, Missouri; and Tulsa, Oklahoma. New neighborhoods of New York City and Seattle are also a part of the latest expansion.

The latest announcement comes over a year after Amazon completed its acquisition of the grocery chain, and may just be the best thing to come of the merger. Any purchase over $35 can now be delivered free of charge in no more than 120 minutes, which really does feel like the pinnacle of technological achievement.

Prime Now delivery continues to be a hit with our customers and we’re excited to introduce the service in 10 new cities plus more neighborhoods in New York and Seattle,” Christina Minardi, Whole Foods Market Executive Vice President of Operations, said in a statement. “And for our customers in Ft. Worth, Kennesaw, and Richmond, we’re thrilled to also offer the option of grocery pickup. It’s just another way we’re making it even easier for more customers to enjoy Whole Foods Market’s healthy and organic food.”

As it stands, subscribers in 48 cities in markets across the country can now take advantage of this new offering, but Amazon plans to continue expanding across the U.S. Simply shop through Prime Now for Whole Foods items like produce, meat, and seafood, household staples, and other locally sourced items. All available items can be found either at the Prime Now website or on the Prime Now app available on both Android and iOS devices. Folks in San Francisco, Jacksonville, New York, Omaha, Orlando, Seattle, St. Louis, and Tampa also have the option of getting their alcoholic beverages delivered.

If you’re really in a rush, you can also get Amazon to deliver your groceries to you in under 60 minutes for an additional $8. That said, you still have to hit the $35 threshold in order for you Prime perks to kick in — anything under that, and you have to make the schlep to a physical store, which Amazon has practically turned into a drive-through with curbside pickup.

Delivery from Whole Foods by way of Prime Now is available every day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time. To see if you’re eligible for the service, visit the Prime Now website or app and enter your zip code.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 has only grown better with age
the yale assure lock 2 has only grown better with age plus

The Yale Assure Lock 2 has long held a spot on our roundup of the best smart locks. Offering a sleek design, robust companion app, and a multitude of customization options, it's a premium choice that's an easy recommendation for most shoppers. And while some smart locks begin to show their age over the years, the Yale Assure Lock 2 has only grown more enticing.

Part of this is due to its impressive durability — the one installed on my front door has seen more than a few Colorado storms yet remains in pristine condition — but the other reason is Yale's commitment to expanding the number of models in the Assure Lock 2 lineup. I recently had a chance to test out a second, newer version of the Assure Lock 2 that works with Apple Home Keys, and it cemented my belief that it's one of the best smart locks money can buy.
