    I get my groceries delivered once a month from Instacart because I’m blind, so if I wanted to go grocery shopping myself, I would have to spend money on an Uber to take me there, then get a shopping assistant to help me pick up the stuff I need, and then pay for an Uber back home, so it actually ends up being cheaper to just get it delivered, and I can see what I’m purchasing in the app.

      i see where its disabled people use apps like prime whole food shopping too. its useful for these people. also well off people use it to, so they dont have to spend time to go to the store when they are working at home.

      Where I’m from we have services for folks like you through our local grocery stores, I wish that was the case everywhere. The people that work for the grocery stores get paid better too.
