I usually use something like “Alexa order dog food” or “Alexa buy toothbrush”.

Or "A-lady" shop for Chicken stock. I'm obviously using a-lady instead of her name in case she is listening.

Isn't it supposed to let you shop just by telling it that you want something? Whenever I ask how much something is, it just gives me the first thing it sees but never asks if I want to add it to my cart or if I want to see more options for similar products. I have an amazon account. Am I doing something wrong and do I need to do something on the actual app on my phone? Thank you.
