If you pay yearly you save. If the monthly is $10 and yearly is $99 you save $20.

First, it is great to hear about the accessibility. I think they are offering 2 services now. Instacart express for $99 a year. Can folks explain the differences? Do you shop at one store at a time per order? I have heard of service fees for alcohol delivery. Can anyone shed light on that? Are tips built in? Lastly, how are you finding customizations or preferences? Say you want your bananas on the green side. Or you want your potatoes to weigh around 10oz.
