Need Help with groceries REQUEST

Hi everyone, I’m having a bit of trouble trying to get groceries until I get paid next week. My kids are on winter break and our food is going by more quickly than I’m used to especially during the week since they’re in school. I’m not asking for much just enough to get me through until next Wednesday. Not sure how requesting works here. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

For food needs, Amazon wishlists do much better here due to the lack of personal information and cash not needing to change hands. It’s free to set up, helpers have Prime subs, so you’ll have same day/next day delivery in most cases.

Suggested items consist of shelf-stable items (there is no fresh produce/meat/dairy available on Amazon Prime) like peanut butter, ramen, boxed pasta, dry pasta, jarred sauces, canned soup/chili/veggies, canned tuna/chicken/spam, oatmeal, rice, dry beans, boxed cereal, trail mix, granola bars, fruit snacks, pepperoni sticks, and so on and so forth. You can add cleaning supplies, hygiene items, pet food if you have pets too.

Please make sure the total of your wishlist does not exceed $150 USD.

I’ve linked our guide above which walks you through the steps — it’s completely free to do.

Amazon wishlists work primarily for US/Canada residents; if you’re outside of North America please edit your post to include your general location as per our rules. :)
