If you have an INSTACART+ membership, just recently they changed some perks that come with the account. While they no longer give you 5% back in Instacart credits on orders, they now give you a $10 monthly credit on a delivery order.
There's a $2.99 delivery fee + tip to place a $10-11 order. So if you spend $10.50, your grocery bill is 50c, plus $2.99 plus a tip (say $5) Still under $10 which still saves you some money and great for a last minute "I forgot to pick up this or that' order when you have no time to get to the store.
Even better, if your account is funded with below face Instacart gift cards (ie, you got a $100 GC for $85), you're saving money there too.

Just a heads up for people who do have Icart+ to see if it is sitting in their account and use it 1x a month if they can put it to good use.
as for is it worth it, that all depends on how much use you'd get out of it. there are often sales on the Instacart gift cards from 10-20% off face value, so that helps too. But some stores do have markups where you are paying more for the items than if you went to the store and shopped your self.
If you have a mastercard, or certain Chase Visas, you can get 3, 6 or 12 months free of PLUS. That's probably the better way to go if you have a card that will give you a free block of time to try it out and see what you think. As for auto renew that can always be removed so you don't accidentally get charged when the term is up.
If i still have to pay more after the membership, i dont think its worth it. you can get 3, 6 or 12 months free of PLUS. I dont have Chase Sapphire or Freedom so its no good for me. MasterCard always was Debit Card
