and then ask them to wrap it up and put my name on it. I then message my instacart shopper to simply stop by the meat department and pick up the package with my name on it. That way the shopper doesn't have to worry about picking stuff out, and I typically end up getting the best stuff they have at the time. This way you can even get special cuts ahead of time. I do the same thing in the seafood department. When there's a big sale on let's say Key West shrimp, I'll have the seafood department set aside a 5 lb bag of of the shrimp that is still frozen and put my name on it for the shopper.
