Nice, looks like I have an actual reason to convince my wife that we switch to Instacart next year.

Is Instacart an Amazon replacement for you? Generally, if I can buy something at a store within 15 minutes of me I'll usually just make the drive to buy it rather than going to Amazon. I use Amazon for the things that I generally can't get locally (such as heavy duty floating shelf brackets that I bought recently. No idea what store sells those near me).

But the idea of replacing Amazon with Instacart is definitely intriguing to me

Try a local hardware store, not a big-box like Home Depot or Lowes, though they’re likely to have it too! I’ve found that so long as I am patient, local hardware stores are happy to order things for me.

Amazon is great at instant gratification and that’s about it IMO.

Instacart has about an 80% accuracy rate IME. Which is pretty bad…

I use Target for many things now, they also have free shipping and usually lower prices than Amazon
