To buy groceries on Amazon for the first time:

  1. Sign in to your Amazon account in the Amazon app or on Amazon.com.
  2. Go to the grocery area: search for “Amazon Fresh,” “Whole Foods,” or just type the groceries you want.
  3. Enter your delivery address so Amazon can show what grocery services are available in your area.
  4. Add items to your cart, including produce, pantry goods, frozen items, household basics, or eligible prepared foods where available.
  5. Review your cart carefully: check quantities, sizes, substitutions, and any unavailable items.
  6. Choose a delivery or pickup window if offered.
  7. Add or confirm your payment method. If you use SNAP EBT, check whether it is accepted for eligible items in your area before checkout.
  8. Place the order, then watch for app/email updates about substitutions, delivery timing, or missing items.
  9. When the order arrives, check it quickly and report any missing, damaged, or incorrect items through your Amazon order details.

The easiest first order is usually a small one: milk, eggs, bread, fruit, snacks, and a few pantry items. That lets you test delivery timing, substitutions, packaging, and produce quality before relying on it for a full weekly shop.
