I was working as a salaried employee from home but was not on any commission. Can I claim the costco and amazon prime membership fees as that's where I purchased items?

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the Work From Home expenses deduction has only certain types of expenses that can be claimed. They are as follows (For Salaried employees):
electricity
heat
water
utilities portion (electricity, heat, and water) of your condominium fees
home internet access fees
maintenance and minor repair costs
rent paid for a house or apartment where you live
As it doesn't indicate any supplies or goods you may not claim them under the Work From Home deduction. If your employer doesn't reimburse you for those payments you may be able to claim them under employment expenses instead.
