A Consumer Reports, Groundwork Collaborative and More Perfect Union investigation found that some grocery prices differed by as much as 23 percent per item from one Instacart customer to the next. In an inadvertently sent email, the company calls one pricing tactic “smart rounding.”
Don’t have a car and I don’t live close enough to a grocery store.
Tbh, I don’t think there is a good app alternative and my priority would be moving somewhere where I can do my own grocery shopping. You don’t need a car if you’re close enough to go twice a week. I know it’s not easy, but that would be what I was working towards. You’re paying a serious premium with things like instacart even before you get to the delivery.
