How to Save at Instacart

As corona virus and resulting COVID-19 disease are holding us captive at our homes in hopes to reduce the number of cases, grocery shopping became one of the biggest concerns and more important than ever before. Many of us want to limit trips to grocery stores or eliminate them altogether, but staying home with kids requires more food than during normal situations.

This is why grocery delivery services are busier than ever and can't keep up with the demand. Instacart is one of such services, probably the biggest, and it's seeing unprecedented downloads of the app and delivery requests. Let's take a look at what it is and how it works:

Instacart will shop for you and deliver groceries from local grocery stores, pet stores, and pharmacies. All orders are made online on Instacart website and can be delivered within an hour of specified time slot. Instacart employs their own personal shoppers, who are the ones doing the shopping and delivery. Instacart doesn't have their own fresh produce, but sends shoppers to local stores to shop for you. Instacart doesn't provide its employees with vehicles, they use their own cars. This is kind of like Uber, but for groceries.

Instacart is available in most metropolitan areas. In fact, it's the most popular service and covers most of the United States. You can enter your zip code online and verify that your area is eligible for for organic food & grocery deliver.

When you enter your zip code, you will see all available stores in your area that Instacart will deliver groceries and other items from. You can get stuff from regular grocery stores, wine stores, specialty stores, gourmet shops, and pharmacies. If you have a Costco nearby, Instacart will deliver from there even if you are not a Costco member. The only place you won't be able to get groceries from is Trader Joe's. There is a rumor that companies had a falling out and there is no deal now.
