No fee... other than $3.99 fee for under $35?
My local Safeway doesn't seem to offer/allow pickup, presumably because they have their own pickup service. And my mock order for delivery shows a $3 fee and a $2 tip.
I need to do some comparison shopping, but I don't know how Instacart shoppers can survive on $2 tips and a portion of the fee/grocery markup perhaps.
The local Kroger/Fred Meyer (farther away, don't usually go there because it's inconvenient) is promoted as having in-store prices on Instacart. Might have to play with that option.
