Instacart is dope. I do that and Shipt as another source of income. Just make sure you’re recording your Mileage and other amenities you may get for tax write-off purposes. You don’t want to end up owing the Gvt

I did Instacart for a while but people in my area don’t tip and gas is too high. Wish I could do it somewhere else without having to drive so much.

i did instacart for a while, it was pretty good but depends on the day and how many hours youre willing to put into it

spot on. gas prices make it more difficult too. if you're consistent and busy you're gonna not probably make what you'd like.

I don’t personally do it but my boyfriend does. He prefers instacart over food delivery services, he said you have a lot more potential to earn more money and a lot less stress. You just gotta get a hang of it/stores in your area!

I did Instacart part time last summer. It has changed a lot since then. You basically make your money off tips and a lot of people in my area don’t tip. I stopped doing it last September. If things get worse, I might start up again.

I do instacart with my husband sometimes. It’s good. He usually makes a hundred dollars a day. So if it is five days a week, that’s $500 a week~$2000 a month.

Yea so you guys are definitely doing it correct. Food, hotels, clothes.. all things you guys can report too to trim more of your balance when it comes to owing

I’m in the D.C area. It’s ok for small cash. I do it with my small son, so I only average 3-4 batches a day. I usually make 15-35 dollars a batch, not bad. There are single people who make a lot more daily, it just depends
