Instacart's app lets you filter by health attributes like 'organic' and dietary tags (gluten-free, vegan, keto) and pulls in dedicated health retailers like Sprouts and Whole Foods alongside Costco and Aldi, but it doesn't sell its own private-label groceries, so there's no in-house recall or ingredient-transparency record to evaluate.
How much extra you pay on top of the grocery price — delivery fees, service fees, per-item markups vs. in-store prices, and the tipping expectation. A $60 cart can easily reach $85 before you notice.
How many stores and retailers you can order from, and whether those stores are available in your zip code. More stores means more flexibility; fewer stores means you may not be able to use the service at all.
How fast your groceries arrive — and how often the order shows up complete, on time, and with undamaged produce. Fast promise times only matter if drivers actually show up.
Whether the annual or monthly subscription fee pays for itself, and whether you might already be paying for a membership that covers this service. Paying twice for overlapping memberships is a real trap.
How smooth the ordering process is and whether customer support resolves problems. Missing items, wrong substitutions, and refund disputes are common in grocery delivery.
Whether the service surfaces health-focused retailers and organic/dietary filtering in-app, and the ingredient transparency and recall record of any private-label products it sells.
