A no-nonsense guide for Instacart shoppers who want to earn more per hour — covering full-service vs. in-store shopping, batch pay, store efficiency, substitutions, tips, and taxes.
Most Instacart shoppers leave money on the table because no one ever taught them how batch pay and in-store efficiency actually work together. This guide is for anyone starting out, or anyone who suspects they're accepting the wrong batches for the time they take.
Inside: how to choose between full-service and in-store only shopping, how batch pay and Peak Boost really work, how to evaluate single vs. multi-order batches, how to shop stores efficiently and handle substitutions like a pro, how to find the best times and zones, and how to handle costs and taxes like the small business this is.
Includes a quick-reference cheat sheet in both formats, AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable Claude and ChatGPT links in the digital edition. Available in print and digital formats. Instant download after purchase.
