It contains 25 cupboard basics including baguette rolls, crisps, tea, biscuits, rice, sauces, beans and tuna - working out to be around £1 an item.
Home Bargains has said that the contents of each box may vary though as demand is so high and swaps aren’t possible.
They have been created for vulnerable people, those who are self-isolating and shoppers who have been unable to get certain items from stores.
There are a limited number of boxes available each day.
We've asked Home Bargains how many are on offer and how long they will be on sale for and will update this article when we hear back.
To buy all the items individually from other stores could cost around £27.
The parcels are only available online, meaning Home Bargains shoppers won't find them in stores.
If you're able to shop in store, Home Bargains has more than 500 stores across the UK - use the to track down your nearest branch.
