This past week ended up being my best week of Instacart earnings since way back in April when I was earning over $600/week. My hours didn't really go up, I didn't even hit double digits actually. It's all thanks to my wonderful customers who were kind enough to leave me some monster tips. I even got my largest cash tip yet. This is going to be exciting to discuss.
I plan on doing a weekly Instacart Financial Report like this one, so if you enjoy this kind of content be sure to follow me if you aren't already doing so.
I'm going to be breaking down each day of work individually. Luckily, the Instacart Shopper app makes that extremely easy to do. Let's go ahead and get things started.
This was a solid start to the new week. I have a new regular customer that tips very well, hence the $54 order. That shop and delivery took me less than an hour. I wasn't sure if I'd get another order, but I actually did.
I made about $43.98/hr on this day.
The $31 double batch was nowhere as good as the $54 order. I had to shop and deliver for two customers, which was still fewer items than the earlier order. However, when I left the store there was major traffic which is highly unusual for my area. There was a wreck on the interstate, which caused everybody to flood downtown. Then I saw two more wrecks downtown because people suck at driving.
It was also raining, so it was just chaotic and I immediately called it quits once I finally made it home after spending 20+ minutes in traffic. That may not sound long, but for West Virginia, that isn't good. I'm so glad I don't live in a big city where it takes an hour just to drive a short distance.
Was busy most of the day and didn't get a chance to do any Instcart orders.
No batches = No work
Thursday was almost another $0 day, but I was saved by one double batch. I was shopping for a local Mexican restaurant that I have delivered to many times before. They were paired with a customer who I had never had before.
I made about $44.46/hr on this day.
The restaurant left a tip almost 5 times as large as the other person, but that is to be expected. I got lucky at the restaurant and there was one parking spot directly in front of the place. That is rare considering it is located on the busiest one-way street in the entire city in which I live. Now to see what this weekend has to offer me in terms of Instacart orders.
Friday was a hell of a good day. In fact, it was one of my best days of Instacart ever, mainly because of one customer in particular. As you can see, my hourly pay was absolutely insane and I earned over $200 in just over 2 hours.
I made about $88.75/hr on this day.
Look closely at the 2:20pm customer. This is the third time that I have shopped for them. The first time they left me a great tip. The second time they left me a great tip and then gave me an equally great cash tip on top of that. The same thing happened this time. This guy gave me a $67 tip through the app and then handed me a $50 bill as I dropped it off in total that is $117 in tips from just one customer. What's funny is that Instacart paid me less than $9 for the order, so big ups to this guy for being so generous.
This week had been pretty slow before Friday, but somehow I have already managed to reach my weekly goal. I still have what is usually the two best shopping days of the week left on Saturday and Sunday. It would be awesome to reach the $500 weekly earnings mark for the first time since April.
Saturday was pretty slow, especially in comparison to Friday. I did however get two orders randomly throughout the day while I was online. Both of them were repeat customers who lived just down the street from me.
I made about $57.95/hr on this day.
Easy shops and little to no driving are the best when it comes to maximizing earnings and time. I may have only worked for an hour, but I did earn over $60 at least.
Sunday was also a great day much like Saturday was. Daylight savings time ended here, so our clocks went back an hour. This has me waking up naturally at 7am now. I got my first order before 9am. I took a break midday but had one more order in the evening that was well worth my time.
I made about $49.47/hr on this day.
Tips carried me heavily on Sunday, as usual with my Instacart work. If if wasn't for my generous customers, this job wouldn't be sustainable. I am very pleased with how the week ended.
My weekly pay was close to $540 and I barely worked over 9 hours.
I made about $58.74/hr on average this past week.
This was such an outstanding week and gives me hope that Instacart is going to be picking back up and actually giving me more than my weekly minimum needed to sustain my way of living. I very much look forward to Week 42 starting today. The grind never stops as an Instacart shopper.
I hope you have enjoyed this insider look at what kind of pay is possible while working for Instacart.
