If you are like most typical families and you get groceries from Instacart
once a week, that can add up to $12 to $15 a month and times that times 12,
you are paying $144 to 180 each year, so the instacart Express seems a bit
more reasonable. Shipt is much more reasonable though and I do hope
You would have to crunch the numbers to see if the yearly fee saves you
money over the delivery fee for small orders. Most folks probably spend
more than $35 on a grocery order. We typically spend between $150 and $200
