I have a new obsession: Instacart. It’s like a personal grocery shopping service, you can pick out your groceries from your favorite local store and someone else does all the work to get the groceries to your door.
What makes this different from similar services like Fresh Direct is that you are doing the shopping from your local stores. I do most of my shopping at Fairway and am familiar with their stock and know what brands I like. With Fresh Direct I found it harder to pick out what I wanted since I wasn’t familiar with all of the brands. Not all stores are available on Instacart but for the UWS I have the choice of Fairway, Whole Foods and Costco. If things are out of stock you can note what you’d like as a replacement or get a refund. On top of that, Instacart offers same day delivery and only a 1-hour window.
I actually enjoy grocery shopping but some days I don’t have the time or energy. During the week, after getting home from work I have to walk Ollie so to go shopping after that then cook dinner, it’s way too time consuming. WIth this service I can take Ollie for a walk and schedule my delivery to come right as I return home. During busier weeks I’m absolutely going to turn to Instacart.
