Hi,
Is the person who shops the same person who delivers?
Now all I need is someone to plan and cook them. Any advice???

@jakedduck1 oh wow, you are welcome for the coupon! I recall the first time I used Instacart I was a bit confused picking out my shopping items too, but after you order the first time, Instacart remembers your favorite things for next time.

once you place an order and the shopper is shopping, you can text your shopper, I like that.

I like to switch stores each week, I rotate locations each week (HyVee, Schnucks, Aldi so far) and I'm going to shop at Fresh Thyme and Costco next 🙂

I was going to say I came across an instance where the lemonade I always purchase wasn't offered on the website at HyVee. I always used to buy the low-sugar AE Lemonade at the store, and the regular AE Lemonade was displayed on the website. I selected the regular AE Lemonade on the Instacart website, but then put a note on my order "please get the low sugar lemonade instead", and my shopper figured it out 🙂

for me in my area, the shopper has been the same person as the delivery person. They appear to be using their own personal vehicle. They all seem to try to carry absolutely everything at once to the door from their vehicle, it takes me 2-3 trips - lol
Instacart will send you a message and tell you they are on their way, so I wait by the door usually.

I know the feeling about cooking, when I purchase the food, now I have to cook it! I eat alot of sandwiches I've noticed, and I like to use the crockpot and make pot roast or roast beef.

I purchased a bag of frozen salmon fillets, I love to quickly put a salmon filet in the skillet along with some frozen asparagus, it's a quick easy healthy meal. Thaw the salmon filet(s) in the kitchen sink in some water. Cook the asparagus and salmon in olive oil, season with salt, pepper and some dill (roughly 15 minutes). I have some frozen meditteranean veggies that works well with the salmon too (zuchini, yellow squash, pepper medly, frozen).

I also like those chicken cordon bleu from the freezer section. I think I was bad and got a bag of tator tots , so just place the chicken cordon bleu and some tator tots in the oven at 400 degrees according to the package. Have some fruit or a salad.

otherwise, I get a fresh romaine lettuce usually, along with fruits, tomatoes, and I enjoy my tuna salad on sandwiches or with fresh greens.

my tuna salad:
1 large can of tuna in water
2 boiled eggs, chopped
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 small vidalia onion chopped
up to 1/4 cup of dill relish from a jar (I really like pickles)
miracle whip

combine all of the ingredients, and stir in enough miracle whip to make you happy 🙂

I'm assuming you are like me and have to cook for yourself most of the time?

Hi,
That’s quite a user name you have.
Your meals are a bit involved for me. To many ingredients. I like lots of ingredients especially in salad provided someone else makes it. I have the gal I hire make the more complicated meals.
What’s the difference between Pot Roast & Roast Beef. I thought they were the same thing. See what happens when I think, lol

I didn’t think about if all the junk would fit in the freezer. It took some creativity but I finally got it all crammed in.
