I suspect with Instacart, you have to tip! Kroger tells you upfront on the order site that they don't accept tips. Don't know Kroger, unless you've tried it. Oh---the 1st 3 orders, you don't pay the delivery. It's so to familiarize you and to see if you're going to continue, I think. After that you pay the $59.00/year. To me, it saves on my gas, "wear/tear" on my car and it's convenient!! IF I'm not going out or the weather is "if-y" it's a no-brainer to have it all come here. My only issues so far is my list---sometimes I'll forget THE one thing but it's a small "problem" in view of LIFE-matters.

Question- would you have to order Kroger yesterday to get it today ?

Instacart you can get in an hour or so if you select priority delivery for $2 more.

With Publix delivery you not only pay Instacart fees & tips, but also pay higher prices for each item. The fine print on their website (Shop Online | Publix Super Markets) discloses this as follows: "*Item prices vary from item prices in physical store locations."

Kroger is the best way to go. Much cheaper and you don’t have to worry about getting melted ice cream etc. since they have a refrigerator and freezer on their trucks.

Give Kroger a try. I’ve been very happy with them.

My husband and I have used Publix for over 2 years. We just started using Kroger also. Gives us more flexibility. Their produce is great AND their trucks are refrigerated so nothing is thawed when we get it.
