Instacart benefits include fast delivery and coupons.
During Deal Week and beyond, using Instacart gets you the following benefits:
You're getting fast delivery. Depending on which store you shop via Instacart, you can get your order in as fast as 30 minutes. Or you can schedule your delivery for later in the day or week. In fact, if you're willing to wait a bit, Instacart's Super Saver Delivery option gives you a $0 delivery fee, if you don't need your order right away.
You can use coupons. Instacart features select store coupons as well as manufacturer coupons that you can apply to your order. They also offer special Instacart coupons that aren't available at the store. So by using Instacart, you'll get your stuff more conveniently and at a similar value as if you'd schlepped everyone to the store.
You don't have to sacrifice store loyalty rewards. If you're into maximizing stores' loyalty programs, you probably don't want to leave points and offers on the table. Instacart sees you — and is now hooked up to more than 300 store loyalty programs. That means you can enter your store loyalty number at Instacart checkout and know you're not missing out on any loyalty offers.
You can order from the comfort of your couch. Instacart lets you place your order online via its website or app, so you can take your time going over your kids' long school-supply lists and checking out snack options without maneuvering carts and kids. And then you can let your Instacart shopper do the rest while you get real-time updates.
Order your groceries, personal care, and school supplies.
As you map out your Instacart back-to-school shopping strategy, remember that you don't have to run to the store for any of the following items — and if you shop during Deal Week, you can get discounts of up to 25%*:
Groceries
Sending the kids back to school means packed lunches five days a week. Through Instacart, you can shop stores like Sprouts to stock your fridge with food to send the kids off with.
Plus, consider using Instacart to save yourself any in-person grocery runs during the start of the school year when everyone has too much to do.
Health essentials
Back-to-school season is quickly followed by cold season. Shop stores like Rite Aid through Instacart to make sure you have disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, vitamins, and over-the-counter medicine at the ready.
School supplies
Whether you forgot to pick it up or your kid already lost it, Instacart lets you shop for school supplies at stores like Staples to get scissors, pencils, poster board, glue sticks, folders, notebooks, rulers, pens, and all the other things that tend to go MIA or that are suddenly needed for a project due the next day.
Tech and dorm necessities
Sending a kid to college? In addition to the little stuff (paper, printer ink, and headphones), they may need big stuff too, including new laptops or printers. Through Instacart, you can shop retailers like Best Buy to get tech essentials as well as dorm room upgrades like coffee makers.
*Discounts vary. Minimum spend and maximum discount apply. Retailer, product, and brand exclusions apply. Expires Aug. 19.
