#instacart shopping app

[baked-bread]

amazed at how many customers we get that are clearly just instacart shoppers that are so bad at traversing a store. i've had people ask me for the location of every single item that their customer wanted. people will take up 20-30 minutes of my shift to show them around the store (which isn't that big in the first place) like. sir, have you never bought groceries for yourself?? i am so surprised that they manage to make this their job

In ongoing news of my extremely specific curse, where I cannot get food delivered to my home despite being neither difficult to find nor particularly remote, it has now extended not just to meal delivery but also groceries.

I had to put in an order with Instacart for delivery for today. I buy Costco bulk foods through them about once every three months; it's the only time I use the service and usually not a large order, five or six items, nothing especially bulky since I worked out I could mail-order bulk toilet paper.

Instacart doesn't have a great record of actually notifying me of stuff, so when my shopper starts shopping I just have the app open on my phone; I don't watch it, but it sits there open so that when things change I actually see the change happen.

Which is how I know that my driver shopped my order an hour ago, checked off all the items, told me everything was in stock, spent forty minutes delivering other orders, and then --

Started shopping my order again.

And then cancelled it.

I didn't even know you could cancel an order after you supposedly fully checked out with it. Fucking buck wild.

Here's your smaller, detailed step-by-step plan to manage your money better, enjoy your lifestyle, and work toward becoming a millionaire without focusing on social media:

Step 1: Organize Your Money

Girl Math: If your money is divided into

"buckets," it's easier to manage.

1. Open three bank accounts:

• Essentials Account: For rent, bills, groceries, and transportation.

• Lifestyle Account: For shopping, makeup, and going out.

• Wealth-Building Account: For savings, investments, and starting your business.

2. Every time you get money ( deposits, etc.):

• Put 50% into Essentials, 30% into Lifestyle, and 20% into Wealth-Building.

• Example: If you get $500, split it as $250 (Essentials), $150 (Lifestyle), and $100 (Wealth-Building).

Step 2: Create a MonthlySpending Plan

1. Write down your recurring expenses:

• Rent, groceries, and bills.

• Estimate how much you'll spend on shopping and going out.

2. Set limits for each category:

• Essentials: Cover only what you need.

• Lifestyle: Example: $200/month for clothes, makeup, and outings.

• Wealth-Building: Save or invest at least $50/month.

Tip: Use apps like Mint or PocketGuard to track spending automatically.

Step 3: Shop Smarter WithoutSacrificing Style

Girl Math: Luxe doesn't have to mean expensive.

1. Before buying:

• Wait 24 hours to think about whether you really want it.

• Ask: Will I wear or use this multiple times?

2. Shop strategically:

• Buy versatile black outfits that match your wardrobe.

• Look for quality items during sales or at secondhand stores.

• Spend less on trendy pieces and invest in timeless styles.

3. Set a monthly limit for shopping:

• Example: $100/month for clothes and makeup. Stick to it like a challenge.

Step 4: Start Growing Your Money (Wealth-Building)

1. Invest with what you can:

• Put $10-$20/month into Public orFidelity. Start with ETFs or big companies like Amazon or Apple.

• Example: If you invest $10/month, it could grow to $1,500 in 5 years (based on average market growth).

2. Use a high-yield savings account:

• Open one with Betterment or Ally to earn interest on money you're saving.

3. Plan for your business:

• Start saving specifically for your business .

• Set a goal: Example: Save $2,000

this year to invest in branding or equipment.

Step 5: Generate More Income

Girl Math: Multiple small streams of money add up fast.

1. Find a side hustle:

• Offer fitness advice online (even if you're not the face).

• Freelance in something you enjoy, like personal shopping or beauty consultations.

• Use apps like TaskRabbit, Instacart, or Fiverr for flexible gigs.

2. Leverage your passions:

• Sell clothes you don't wear anymore online (e.g., Poshmark).

• Offer makeup tips or classes locally.

3. Reinvest the extra money:

• Use side hustle money to grow your business or portfolio.

Step 6: Reward Yourself WhileStaying Disciplined

1. Set milestones:

• Example: Every $500 saved orinvested = treat yourself to a nightout or a new outfit.

2. Plan splurges:

• If you want to buy something expensive, plan for it and use your Lifestyle Account.

• Example: Save $50/month for 3 months for a $150 makeup haul.

Wanna help Maire get through July 2023?

Happy disability pride month!! Maire is trying to figure out her capabilities now that she's had the big excision surgery she's needed for a few years.

Her application for disability is still in appeals and she's testing the waters to see if she could manage work or grad school instead, now that her most impactful symptoms have been reduced.

In the meantime she's still relying on help from people like you and me to get her basic needs met.

She sent me this list of needs for the month of July:

Final storage: $122 (Due 7/5) going to get rid of it mid month!

Car Insurance: $103 (Due 6/3)

Gas: (monthly appointments): $40

Cat Expenses: $60

Spotify Subscription: $13

Instacart Membership: $5

Tylonel&naproxen&tolietries: $25

Gas to clear out storage: $200

Total is $578

Maire says:

"Hopefully we'll be all done after this, because either I'll have disability OR work OR grad loans come August.

And don't need to go up north for special meds now I'm not in constant, excruciating pain! Yay!

I am so deeply and eternally grateful for the overwhelming love and support I've received since I lost my job and had to find medical care and everything. So thank you very, very much.

Love, Maire"

I'd be really grateful if you'd help me at least one more time to take care of this lovely young person who has been through so much and is still determined to make the world a better place.

Did you know instacart people can shop at any location of the franchise you ordered from? They aren't bound to the location you ordered from. And yeah, they are too dumb to realize different locations carry different products. And yeah, it does take them longer because the store map they have in their app is for the location you ordered from.

[minerscanarybyvanessacarlton]

My favorite genre of tweet is someone whining about food prices and the price is what doordash or instacart are charging them.

Just for fun I put together roughly what my weekly grocery order would be in both the Jewel Osco app and in Instacart (I did not adjust the tip I would always tip $10 at least for instacart).

The difference between these two is a 5 minute drive (there's a Jewel even closer but I like this one better). I don't even have to go in the store I just let them know I'm there in that same app and what spot I'm in. That's not exactly a whole lot of extra steps. The difference in price between the two is forty dollars. Now, obviously the shopper/driver isn't getting all of that $40 and I'm willing to have that discussion but like, yes. Optional conveniences cost money. If you want someone to do your shopping for you, you have to pay them. They're not your mother and you're not a child.

8/7 grocery trip ! I highly recommend going to aldi [ or your cheapest store] first and getting as much of your list as possible. I, unfortunately, will have to get eggs elsewhere. It would be a little cheaper to get 5 cartons from aldi, but I prefer the big boxes from Walmart or costco. The price difference isn't enough to fuss over. However, the walmart I went to didn't have the big boxes and the aldi had closed by that time.

I use instacart for costco + I found it useful to look at the app while shopping to price-compare. Not everything is cheaper in bulk ! So I'll be getting eggs, sparkling water, chia seeds, and almond milk that way, about $50. I use instacart+ but there is a $6 fee since costco is so far from me.

ALDI: $175.69

20 cans coconut water [cheaper than costco by 2 cents per oz. It's extremely hydrating, most electrolyte drinks neglect potassium] $1.09 each

2 cans of black beans and 2 cans chickpeas [for when I forget to prep beans]. $.81 each

36 cans of tuna [again, cheaper than costco] $.85 each

8 packs of tofu [it was on sale ! ] $1.79 each

2 bags of 2lb tilapia for $8.49 each

3 packs of imitation crab for $3.95 [on sale and I want to try something new]

3 bags of seasoned fries [mostly for my partner, but also nice to have around]

2 packs of sliced cheddar $1.65 each [partner]

4 packs of sliced mozzarella $1.29 each [partner + sale]

4 packs of honey ham for $2.75 each [partner + sale]

3 bags of vegan mozzarella for $2.59 each [ I want to make pizza this week, I have a Schar pizza crust that needs to be used. + it's nice to have on hand]

4.37 lb of zucchini at $1.45 per lb, $6.34 [just for me ! + on sale]

6 boxes of chickpea pasta at $2.69 a box [aldi ftw !! banza is so pricey compared to aldi! higher in protein and gluten free]

4.27lb head of cabbage at $.65 per lb, $2.78

4.97lb bananas at $.49 per lb, $2.44

2 cucumbers at .59 each

Minced garlic in a jar, $2.29

Green onions, $.95

10lb potatoes, $4.39

1 bottle of hot honey $5.69 [I've been wanting to try it for ages]

WALMART: I also got some other household stuff, but the total was $77.07

De la Rosa Mazapán candy: $2.48

2 loaves of Schar gf bread: $5.96 [I REALLY need to learn how to make gf bread myself !]

2 bags of red onion $3.98 each [the red onions at aldi were looking a little sad :( ]

Jug of white vinegar $3.74 [for pickling the red onions]

Jug of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce $7.34 [I DEFINITELY need to learn how to make this. First ingredient is high fructose corn syrup]

and finally: an ice cream maker I got on clearance! $15. Vegan and gf ice cream has been nearly impossible to find and always incredibly expensive. If I use this 3 times, it'll have paid for itself and more.

Whenever I say that emotions are shitty liars and we should spend less time Validating them and more time exposing their calumny, people always want to make the distinction that feelings are always valid, only your reaction to the feelings can be judged. And the problem is that's true if you're arguing about "validity" as a moral category, which I am not because I don't give a shit about that.

And that's in some sense a privileged position that I have! Not in the sense of privilege as institutional power, but just like -- good fortune. I was raised in the Free To Be You and Me era, by hippies with advanced psychology degrees and Mr. Rogers. I already know that it's "valid" to experience negative emotions, in the sense of "normal and inevitable" and also in the sense of "thought crime is fake." I know some people were acculturated into an extremely different belief system that prioritized pure thoughts and a pure heart. That sucks -- people lied to you and it fucked you up a little, or maybe a lot. If that's where you're currently at, I get it, and probably what you do really still need is some version of Mr. Rogers coaching you nonjudgmentally through what to do with the mad that you feel. That's a little basic when it comes to emotional literacy, but if you never mastered the basics, you gotta start sometime!

However, I'm not talking about that because it's boring to me. What's fascinating to me is that emotions feel real even when they are "invalid" in the sense of "based on literally fuckall." Like, you know what makes me blinding angry? The self-checkout machine telling me nine times to scan an item I just scanned. I wanna put my fucking fist through the thing! I want to kill it.

Now, the reality is that there is nothing happening in those moments that truly justifies my emotional reaction. I don't react like that to actual human beings, even the ones who are trying to hurt me on purpose! Certainly a little piece of machinery making my checkout experience longer by maybe ten seconds is -- like, it's not even a thing! The proportional emotional reaction to that is basically nothing. And being angry with something that has no volition is ridiculous, but how often do most of us do it? We're angry at the traffic lights or the security questions on our bank app or the fucking weather. It's such an ordinary experience, we bond over how angry these random little inconveniences make us. And by the way, the people who value purity of heart most keenly do seem to displace extremely aggressive anger onto inconveniences at a disproportionately high rate, which is how you get high-vibes yoga moms or good church deacons screaming like a lunatic about some problem with their Instacart order.

So, like. Obviously something else is going on. I'm not angry at this machine for wasting my valuable ten seconds. Not really. I'm angry because so much of my life is spent interfacing with automated systems and I resent all the million little ways I feel unseen as a human being. I'm angry because I was raised by a culture that taught me the one and only realm of my life where I was allowed to have unquestionable authority over my own experience is when it's my turn to be The Customer, so it feels especially violating when I'm helpless within my Paying Customer Experience. And I'm angry because I usually do my grocery shopping on the way home from work, and I'm tired and hungry and my animal brain is feeling increasingly desperate about this threatening situation.

Those are emotions that are important, in the sense of needing to be validated and understood, but you can't even get to them until you you recognize that what feels enormously real right now -- that I hate this specific machine and long for the opportunity to break it -- is in fact false. The truth is, this doesn't matter, and I won't care about it five seconds after I walk out. The truth is, I wouldn't feel better if I broke the machine; it wouldn't solve any problem I have, and I'd just feel like a dumbass. The truth is, telling myself it's normal and healthy and valid to hate self-checkout machines obscures the actual powerful clarity I can achieve when I stop and think, what's the true thing that I can't focus on while I'm being angry about this fake thing? The emotion itself (I'm going to kill this fucking machine!) is a maladaptive response, even though I never actually act on it. The emotion itself is part of a set of lies I tell myself about my life and how I feel about it. It's not immoral, but it's an obstacle, the same way uncritically accepting any false thing is an obstacle to my ultimate goal, which is to live a life as unburdened by lies as possible.

Just a PSA for people who use grocery shopping apps like instacart and shipt.

If you only have an order with a couple items, and you're going to cancel your order if one of those items is out of stock--please don't use the service to order them.

We drive there, search for the item, start shopping the other items and then you cancel, we often don't get paid the full amount we would have if you just let us finish the order. A lot of us drive from out of the area to do these orders, or even forego taking other orders because we have accepted yours.
