Is Instacart Worth It?

Users Share the Pros and Cons

The larger question remaining is whether Instacart is worth using at all.

Sarah Moore of St. Louis, Missouri said yes particularly right now during the pandemic.

Moore started using Instacart in December 2018 when her commute home from work was about 45 minutes.

Instacart has overall been great for me, Moore said.

The price is higher for groceries, but especially right now, I think its worth it.

Moores only complaint was something shes noticed particularly of late: moldy produce.

Nena Smith, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, agrees.

Tara Jewell, of Chicago, Illinois, has used Instacart on and off for nearly two years.

For Jewell, the main drawback has been the money she has to allocate for grocery delivery.

Now, however, she said the benefit of avoiding the grocery store far outweighs the higher cost.
