$+$ Think it through
I'm going to guess:
Consideration
Where my prefix is getting something from you,
Con- A person tries to con you out of money or something valuable
Here my suffix makes food last longer,
Ration - Rationing food makes it last longer.
You think my infix is on edge,
Side- A triangle has 3 sides, three edges. Side of the road, edge of the road, they're pretty synonymous in some cases.
Under thinking it is not what I do.
If you give something consideration, it means you're thinking it over thoroughly.
+Think it through
Give this riddle some consideration.
How I haven't seen this one yet I'm not sure; but to begin breaking this down, the acrostic is:
WHYU $\leftarrow$ In which I believe the WHY is the only relevant portion.
Where my prefix is getting something from you,
I think this could be a literal statement in which we get a letter or letters from you. So the answer to this could be y, o, u, yo, yu, oy, ou, uy, uo; however, the only ones that make sense as a prefix would be y, o, u, yo, oy. Due to the acrostic containing a U I believe the letter is most likely U as it is what I would do; the letter U is difficult to use unless you're trying to ensure its usage as a hint, just like the letters Q, V, X, Z.
Here my suffix makes food last longer,
You think my infix is on edge,
I think the infix could possibly be e following the same concept as the prefix. Words that are synonymous to on edge are tense, excited, wired, nervous, eager, impatient, edgy, etc... and I believe the most likely words would be tense, eager, antsy, or edgy.
Under thinking it is not what I do.
