It was another average week of Instacrt shopping for me. As I hope for more, I am only gently dangled the famed carrot from this greedy corporation.
No work.
I was hyped to start a new week and remained confident that I would get some orders worth doing, unlike the last couple of weeks. Wednesday started out slow, but I had an order every hour from 11:30-1:30.
I made about $66.66/hr on this day.
The last order of the day was a banger. I had delivered to this house a few times before, but this time it was the mother of the kids ordering rather than the grandmother. The mom messaged me several times througout my order, which I didn't mind because she was quick and to the point.
She was impressed at the fact that I carried in 20-25 bags on one arm. To me, that's just normal at this point. I forget that when the average person sees me carrying that much, they wonder how it is even possible. She originally tipped me $50, but increased it to $55 after I left her house. I need more awesome customers like this woman.
No work due to another huge storm and floods.
This wasn't one of those WOW Fridays, but that doesn't mean it was a complete dud. It was the day following a huge storm and major flooding in some areas. I lucked out and didn't run into any major issues on the road outside of some washed-out gravel in a few places.
I made about $47.03/hr on this day.
The morning consisted of a couple of orders, but there was a gap between noon and close to 3:30. I ended up getting one final order for the day, which was also the best of the day. To my surprise, the best tippers of the day lived in low-income housing. They are either getting loads of benefits, or they are just kind-hearted despite not being in the best financial situation. I'm going with the second one as I have continuously been surprised by people who don't have much giving much larger tips than those who have a lot.
Instacart is the biggest waste of time sometimes, but that doesn't mean I should give up when things don't go my way. I started the day early with a great order at 9 in the morning. After that, I then ended up waiting about 7 hours until I finally got another order worth doing. I had all day to work, but nothing came up for me.
I made about $40.47/hr on this day.
Since I was forced to take pretty much all day off, I kept the app online through the evening. Thankfully that resulted in three more okay orders. All in all, it was a decent day, albeit a lot of time wishing I was working rather than getting to work.
Sunday wasn't as bountiful as I was hoping it would be. I had sporadic orders while I was online, none of which where particularly great by any stretch of the imagination.
I made about $37.97/hr on this day.
I hoped to make at least double what I ended the day with but hoping only gets you so far with Instacart. This job is largely luck-based, which doesn't always play out to my advantage.
My weekly pay was $310 and I barely worked only 6.5 hours.
I made about $47.14/hr on average this past week.
As the weeks continue, Instacart seems to be less and less reliable in terms of me getting actual work. I am still relying on it as much as I can for now, but I feel I'm wasting a lot of time wishing I was working, rather than actually getting to do so.
I hope you have enjoyed this insider look at what kind of pay is possible while working for Instacart.
