Instacart allows you to choose where your groceries come from, depending on your area. Retailers like Wegman’s, Costco, and Aldi are included for example. Employees of Instacart will then shop your list for you, making the prices a bit heftier than a trip to the grocery store. A “leave at my door” delivery option is the default choice at the moment, and the company has said that wait times are currently longer than usual.
