Maybe for prepackaged foods, but I hope not fresh foods like meats, veggies, etc. Most stores have a wide variety of quality in the same bin for any given food and I'd rather be the one to choose.
- wil421 7y agoI love to cook and wouldn’t trust someone else picking out my groceries. Not to mention these things cost more.
- MarkyC4 7y agoI currently use Instacart (as an Express member). I'd say 10% of orders (I order ~2 times a week) contain an item that wasn't of sufficient quality. Their customer support is great when this happens, always refunding the bad item (though sometimes that's besides the point -- I needed that item for my meal!) The $100 yearly membership fee amortizes to ~$1/order, and the markup on products seems to be ~5-10%. So I'm paying a little extra to avoid going to multiple grocery stores on a weekend/weeknight
