My 67th Instacart paycheck 💸 🛒

This is officially the last week that I'm going to be an Instacart shopper. It's fitting that my final week also happens to be the worst week I've ever had. This just goes to show you that my belief that Instcart should no longer be my job is true. It was good for almost a year, but I will no longer be doing this as there simply is no good work in my area anymore. Let's discuss my horrific final week of Instacart.

Monday, April 29th

Tuesday, April 30th

Wednesday, May 1st

Thursday, May 2nd

No work the first four days of the week due to lack of orders.

Friday, May 3rd

The drought continues. I'm so glad I'm about to be finished with the disappointment that Instacart has become. I managed to snag one measly order on Friday from a regular customer. I was ready to work more, but there weren't any more orders all day long.

I made about $41.42/hr on this day.

I ended up making a visit to the new job that I should be starting next week. They had me fill out some final paperwork and I was very relieved. I am just straight-up tired of Instcart not being dependable anymore.

Saturday, May 4th

Instacart has done it yet again. Another day of me being prepared to work all morning and afternoon, yet no orders were available. It's safe to say that this app is cooked, at least in my city. I sure as hell am glad that I decided to get a new job when I did.

I made about $64.46/hr on this day.

Don't let the amazing hourly rate fool you, I barely did anything on Saturday. It sucks to admit that my job has disintegrated into the digital ethers, but it is the truth.

Sunday, May 5th

No work

End of week hours and pay 🤑

My weekly pay was only $41 and I didn't even get to work one full hour.

I made about $50.69/hr on average this past week.

Doing it again next week 👀

At this point, it is painfully obvious that I need to move on from Instacart. I am starting a new job tomorrow morning. I will eventually create a post talking about the job and how I like it. I'm going to give it several weeks before I do that though so I can take the time to get adjusted.

This is my final Instacart financial report. I am both annoyed and excited about the fact that I am moving on from Instacart. It was fun for a decent portion of the time that it lasted.

If you live in the USA and are considering Instacart as a side hustle, I say go ahead and give it a shot. New shoppers tend to get favoritism in terms of the best orders. Do not however expect this to be your main income long-term, it's just not going to work out if you go about it that way. It might be an okay way to make some extra money in your free time. depending on the city that you live in of course.

I hope you have enjoyed this insider look at what kind of pay is possible while working for Instacart.
