Our Verdict
This enrolls you in auto billing so if you don’t cancel you’ll be charged $99 annually after the two month period expires, so remember to cancel. Problem I’ve seen with Instacart is pricing being more expensive than purchasing with a store directly, although that isn’t the case with all stores apparently. As always make sure to price compare to ensure you’re not getting over charged.
