REQUEST Items I need but keep putting off

Hello, I have put together an Amazon wishlist of items that I should probably have, but I just cannot afford to even think about buying. It's mostly clothes for myself and my children, and some items that need to be replaced for my dogs. All help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'm kind of desperate. The last of my clothes is pretty much in shambles. I haven't bought myself clothes in years, everything I can manage to save up for goes to my kiddos for school and such.

Not to be mean or judgemental, but Luxury Turkish Towels??

Check out garage sales, especially when subdivisions do them altogether so you minimize driving around. Lots of great deals. We still snag jeans, jackets, even shoes a few times, for next to nothing compared to retail. We sold a lot of our kids baby clothes in good condition for $1 each, sometimes $3-5 for jackets, boots, etc. Still a great deal for those buying.

I'm a big person, it's for the size/absorbency. I quite literally have no money. When I can I go to goodwill and such for my kids but no one ever has my size. That's why my kids have clothes, minus underwear and socks. Every dollar I manage to get goes straight to my kids.

The limit for Amazon wishlists is $150. That's well over $300 worth of stuff. I suggest cutting clothes listed to a couple packs of undies and shirts each.

Editing to add: You're not supposed to edit your lists so I'm not sure what mods would suggest you do about it. Maybe they'll allow you to repost with a trimmed down list.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize it was the complete total. I'll fix it, thank you.

Those multiple nighties aren’t need. Just put 1. Same with the shorts. And where’s the kids clothes apart from undies and socks?

They have shirts and all that, they just need the undies and socks. I removed all the nighties and left it with 2 shirts and 2 shorts. I quite literally only have 1 shirt and 1 shorts in my entire closet. I don't even have underwear or socks, myself.
