31. Instacart has $99 yearly subscription fee
Mon Apr 20, 2020, 12:04 PM
Apr 2020

Instacart has $99 yearly subscription fee. If your order is over $35 during the year, you get delivery free if you subscribe. There is a feature on Instacart app where for each item you select, you can specify a replacement or say no replacement. That way you do not end up with off the wall best matches. You should not feel guilty about using Instacart. Where I live they have hired a bunch of people because of demand and those people are very grateful because they were laid off from other jobs. If you have masks or can make masks, give them to them so they can protect themselves. I happened to already have masks because of pollen season so I have been giving them masks. I put them on a table on my porch and tell them to grab them from behind my grated door. I plan to start making masks soon for that purpose.
