I'm not sure how else you expect them to make money and stay in business if they shouldn't be charging you more. For me, such is the cost of convenience. If your money is more valuable than your time, then you can continue shopping at the grocery store yourself. :-)

They're already charging a flat rate for shipping. I just want them to be more transparent in their pricing.
While that's certainly fair, and I see your point, I don't see Safeway/Whole Foods/etc. telling you their profit margins either. The only reason you're taking issue with Instacart's pricing is because you know the price that you normally pay/they pay for the goods. :-)
