Can we start this post with a moment of silent praise for Amazon?
…  K great thanks, now we can continue.  Because seriously you guys- where did I get all my stuff that I needed IMMEDIATELY (and by immediately I mean guaranteed within 2 days) before Amazon Prime!?  
The selection is amazing, but most of all the convenience factor:  it is huge.  So while sometimes the price isn’t the absolute lowest or it’s not the exactly right brand, the fact that so many have access to it is a big deal.  It would take me forever & a day to compile grocery lists for all of the stores you guys have told me that you shop at:  Aldi, H-E-B, Publix, Kroger, Safeway, Raley’s, Costco, Trader Joe’s…  and at the end of the day, there would still be tons of you who don’t have access to that store.
So while I know some of my international friends don’t have the same things available on Amazon, I’m doing my best to please the Amazon-loving masses with this post!
I hope you find it helpful, and are able to use it as a reference when you’re starting or mid- Whole30.  And honestly, even if you’re not Whole30:  these are basic things I use & love all year round, Whole30 or not.

Note that you don’t need EVERYTHING on this list.  But I wanted to give you options!  If you have questions on choosing one thing over another (e.g., Instant Pot vs Slow Cooker) send me an email or leave a comment below!  I just wanted to cover all of the bases.

Also, please know that the links used are Amazon affiliate links, so I receive a small percentage back when you purchase through them.  You by no means have to use my links, but it supports me & my blog when you do, and helps posts like these continue.  Thanks so much guys!!  

PS:  If you have further recommendations, I would love for you to leave them in the comments for others to read & refer back to!  Let’s make this a joint effort.
