Instacart usually inflates prices, which I've come to accept, even though that's what the tacked on "fees" are supposedly for, but some of these convince store prices are absolutely insane.

For example, I can have a box of gloves delivered from Walgreens 'same day' for $7.49 each, on instacart the same gloves are $26.50. That's just absurd, considering instacart only pays the $7.49. I find myself using them less and less, even with all the discount codes.
These services overcharge for items + the cost of service + tip...it's just not worth it; even with $20 off of $30
Only gave me free delivery with code. However, they add all these "service fees" which is really hidden delivery charge. Really, who else does service fees? Garbage.

Item subtotal

$49.99
Delivery

$3.99 Free
Service fee

$3.50
Estimated taxes and fees

$5.79
Long-distance service fee

$5.00

YMMV.
In my area on Instacart grocery prices are 15% more than B&M stores. If you have Express membership (free with previous Chase offer), delivery fee would be 5%, plus optional tips for the driver. So the total inflation is about 25% - 30% for delivery order.
If you choose store pickup, delivery fee and tips can be waived plus 5% credit back. So the price inflation is reduced to 10%.
Either way, with coupons like 20 off 30 (66% off) or 20 off 40 (50% off), still worth it if the total order amount is right. Such coupons are not rare. I saw them in my inbox at least once per month.
One thing I like Instacart is their refund policy regarding coupon usage for items not in stock. They DO NOT reduce coupon discount when doing refund. For example, you put order for 3 items 10 each, and used 20 off 30 coupon. Out of pocket you pay 10 plus fee/tips. However one item is out of stock, and they refund 10 to your account. They won't devalue the coupon when doing refund. This can be quite handy if you know some item that's easy to go out of stock, which can be used as filler to get extra value of coupon.

DD just sent me 2022GIFT, haha! 👀 🍿
best deal on doordash right now is weekends in january they have free 10 pc mcnuggest meal if you spend $12+

That means just ordering $3 of stuff since the meal is almost $9 gets you the free meal.

If you order ice cream at worst you spend $3 on ice cream and best case they incorrectly sub ice cream with something else (ice cream machine is broken) and you get free meal and the item refunded.

no apps do this. You can get 100s of dollars of free stuff a month if you use all the coupons available on apps. Instacart sends over $100 a month of discount coupons

Even if it's 20-40% off coupons, out of stock merchandise does not get taken back from the discount

instacart grocery prices are usually in-store prices with the exception of convenience orders and costco/club stores.

Instacart is super generous in that if a refund does not us the full $20 off 30 discount you actually can use the remaining few dollars on a new order.

doordash is also crazy generous in that they will refund full price for an item even if your order total is $0 after discounts

The $12+ spend can include the 10pc Nuggets? I figured it'd have to be $12+ in other items before it triggered the free 10pc.

most expensive out of stock items I find are vacuum cleaners at bed bath and beyond. Also I can find $50-100 items at cvs by going to the store and taking pictures of empty shelves. I used some heating pads and some printer ink that were out of stock.

Printer ink is non-replaceable because they pick the wrong one and it's useless.

medicine is not replaceable if you can find expensive over the counter as well. Rogaine is around $60 and if it's out of stock good one to use
you should be on TLC man. So basically with 20% off doordash or instacart coupon buy something expensive that is OOS so that part gets cancelled and your part gets all the discount to become almost free? Does that work with $20 off $30 kind of coupons?

No it is 100% free. Well maybe whatever you chose to tip. On instacart it is $1.06 which is minimum service fee of $1 and 0.06 tax.

Not only is it free if an item comes wrong (shopper picks the wrong thing or gives you something you didn't order), you get refunded IN FULL for said item. If enough is wrong you get full refund, even though you paid nothing

So they are not just free they are actually paying you sometimes after you got free stuff

yep. They had one a few months back that was free double quarter pounder meal. Same deal it was included in $12 minimum.

If you combine with the $100 gift cards for $85 you save even more money

I've never used instacart before. I'm guessing tipping is expected?

yes it is but unlike doordash base pay is $7. Which means that your order comes pretty fast and with decent service even with not a great tip if it is a small order and store is close by
