Instacart is an app that brings you groceries on-demand. Like food delivery services DoorDash and Uber Eats, they're brought right to your door with safe, no-contact delivery.
You can shop at local grocery and convenience stores with Instacart. Once you place your order, a personal shopper will be sent to pluck your items off the shelves, check out, and drop them off on your doorstep. Because Instacart workers are freelancers, make sure to tip.
For $9.99 a month - or a cheaper $99 annual cost - you can purchase an Instacart Express Membership. You'll get free deliveries for orders over $35 and reduced service fees on all orders.
