I just made a trip to Costco to pick up a few things. They had a big sign advertising that you can use Instacart to shop through Costco here now. I decided to compare my receipt to the prices on Instacart.
Here are how the prices came out :
| store | instacart | |
| walnuts | $ 18.99 | $ 23.19 |
| pecans | $ 12.99 | $ 15.69 |
| coffee | $ 16.99 | $ 18.29 |
| jam | $ 6.89 | $ 8.49 |
| toilet paper | $ 15.99 | $ 18.29 |
| trash bags | $ 13.99 | $ 17.09 |
| SUM | $ 85.84 | $ 101.04 |
As you can see there the prices at Instacart are all higher than in store. Overall the prices are 18% higher via Instacart. This little shopping run took me maybe 20-40 minutes all together in the store and I certainly took my time browsing through Costcos aisles.
Instacart price is $15.20 more than going to the store. Plus assuming you don't have their membership you'd have to pay their $3.99 delivery fee for a total of $19.19 extra
