Built from a real family barrel our customers send: club packs from Sam's Club and Costco, the staples Mom uses every day, and treats for the holidays. Brands and quantities may change slightly with store stock; we substitute equal or better items and show you on the receipts. Want different items? Send us your own list, or use Shop and Ship.
What the price includes
| Groceries and essentials | Bought at major US stores. You receive every receipt. |

If the receipts come in under or over the goods budget, the difference is settled on your final statement.
