I have my favorite grocery store brand for certain items, but Instacart often marks them up. How can I make sure my order is the cheapest?

Brand-specific Instacart prices may not match the store's lowest prices. There are several ways to get the best deal on your favorite brands:

Compare prices before buying. Check the grocery store's app or website for your preferred brands' prices before ordering through Instacart. This provides a benchmark. However, Instacart may display slightly different prices for the same items due to stock fluctuations or markups.

If Instacart's price for your favorite brand is much higher, try other brands. Instacart's brand search makes it easier to find similar products. Additionally, watch Instacart and the grocery store's app or website for sales and promotions. These discounts can save you money on your favorite brands.

Finally, consider unit pricing to better compare package sizes, especially for private label or store brand items. Use these tips to optimize your Instacart shopping experience and get the best deals on your favorite grocery store brands.
