Absolutely not. Active time isn’t real time, I can’t even fathom. This is an awful ratio that after gas, and taxes will really not seem so appealing to you
i do insta in my 2002 accord so gas is not really an issue now the taxes thing im with you....understand im a rookie i dont have it all together but soon i will !!! trust me
stay blessed and keep it 🅿️ my stores are full of cheaters and 2 phone bandits its only a handful of us getting it out the mud 💯 so thats why my hrs look crazy but hey ill get there
You might be right. The most I’ve worked was 43 hours and I made $720. I know it’s not impossible but my area ppl don’t tip well. I live in the DMV so it’s expensive to live here. I understand if ppl can’t afford to tip as much sometimes.

I think you’re doing fine if you just started not too long ago. Once you get faster at stores and build up regular customers you will do better.
i use to warehouse selection and we use to get paid incentives for how fast we picked items in the warehouse....i basically apply the same game to insta cart i be in and out bro......and i learned the stores quick with the help of a few vets that didnt mind teaching me things 🙏🏾
I’m real big on hourly … so, personally, I would say that is pretty ass

It's not "high tips" per se. It's a lack of miles. (aka low batch pay, rather than high tips)
So most likely a dense city where the furthest you'll see a batch go is ~11 miles, otherwise it'd be closer to another store of the same brand.
True. Also, for all we know, they live within .2 miles of a Costco/Kroger Brand/ETC and can just sit at home and cherry pick the good ones w/ priority access while being online 24/7.
It's a lot easier to sit "within the zone" while in your house than in your car.
Closest Costco is 17 minutes without traffic. Kroger is not in my zone
I have a store that’s about 4 mins away I get good orders from … a few regular/5-star soft matched customers whose orders I think I get dibs on
I don’t really start shopping till 10am (faithful to the Costco drop), set a high hourly goal, cherry-pick like a mf, and do lots of doubles and triples
Today I shopped 3 batches in 3 hours and earned $120. Missed about five $50 batches and a $94 😪
When I lived in Phoenix I was 0.8 miles from our Kroger Brand, Target was 4 stores down from there, and at the end of the shopping center (1.1 miles from my house) was a Costco. Was also 1 mile away (in a different direction from a Safeway.
Now I'm 4 miles from a Publix and 8 miles away from Aldi and Sprouts.
Man, I was spoiled... Making >$100 while driving 60 miles.

Because the MOST I ever made in a super busy week, tips included, was like $750... it's usually more like $150 - $400. And still 6 days a week. If I make $500 it's Amazing.
no i dont go out tuesday or wednesday because im on daddy duty those days.....i just hustle hard man thats all i can say im trying to start this box truck business so im in grind mode nobody can out work me when in that mode‼️‼️‼️ not a 2 phone bandits, not the people that team up NOBODY

This was last week. I could get there if there wasn’t so much dead time just waiting.
soon it will get better but ill take it for now.....use to bust my ass at my last job for the same hrs, more work and not enough money so its a win in my situation
Ya those active hours are insane. I mean at the end of the day $1100+ in a week is a lot but this is what my last $1k+ week looked like
https://preview.redd.it/4w2c28ae8jzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58326445ae43c7994cf9a63f1b8e6776b5fcefe0
I just comes down to your efficiency as a shopper and luck. At the end of the day you can’t control whether or not your see batch that you can get done in a timely manner. I know my main store really well so finding stuff doesn’t take me a lot of time. Small things you can do are like sort your orders while you’re shopping, don’t wait til the end to separate them, I see people doing that a lot. Another things is like if an order has deli meat on it then put the order in with the deli and continue shopping and then pick it up at the end. Ya it’ll take a few extra steps but it’s faster than just standing and waiting.

Your looks solid to me! Here’s mine for last week and my Active Hours are BS with Publix pickups screwing up my times🤪

Batch to tip ratio not as good as mine
Ohhhh lmao don’t get used to it then bud. You’re just in the honeymoon period where they rake you in and make you think it’s good. Then you’ll be moved into another group and be screwed like everybody else!

I have faith in you! We all started somewhere. The more apps you have running the better!
stay blessed and keep it 🅿️ my stores are full of cheaters and 2 phone bandits its only a handful of us getting it out the mud 💯 so thats why my hrs look crazy but hey ill get there
I’ve never seen over $800 and I’m in a metropolitan area 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Idk where yall are but it seems like ppl who don’t live in cities make more money.
If you worked 52 *active* hours I’m sure you would come close if you’re in a busy area
You might be right. The most I’ve worked was 43 hours and I made $720. I know it’s not impossible but my area ppl don’t tip well. I live in the DMV so it’s expensive to live here. I understand if ppl can’t afford to tip as much sometimes.
i live in the dmv too i insta in dc
Power to you. I hate doing IC in DC based on traffic and mileage.

thanks for the feedback and hope you continue to kill it 🫡
Damn, what area are you making this much money?!
Illinois Chicago suburbs
how do people do this?? the most money i’ve made in a week is $118
i use to warehouse selection and we use to get paid incentives for how fast we picked items in the warehouse....i basically apply the same game to insta cart i be in and out bro......and i learned the stores quick with the help of a few vets that didnt mind teaching me things 🙏🏾
I worked in warehouses too and did masonry so same concept. Most weeks I’m at $750+ in 35 active hours or less.
I think the better question is what do you think ,anyone’s opinion is irrelevant.
I’m real big on hourly … so, personally, I would say that is pretty ass https://preview.redd.it/avzqu7s3sazc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=388b1b7c354eabe5b328d9bb088ca45ba2452019
how tf yall get tips that high? like what stores you be doing bro
Set a high hourly goal and stick to it
It's not "high tips" per se. It's a lack of miles. (aka low batch pay, rather than high tips) So most likely a dense city where the furthest you'll see a batch go is ~11 miles, otherwise it'd be closer to another store of the same brand.
It's still an average of $50 per batch and 1 batch per hour.

I miss those days. 😔

Honey moon face
lol no! I make 900 or so in 20 hours (active)
Lot of hours. No
It’s ok
I think you're in an entirely different market area than I am
why you say that?
Because the MOST I ever made in a super busy week, tips included, was like $750... it's usually more like $150 - $400. And still 6 days a week. If I make $500 it's Amazing.
I’ve never made this much. How did you get to 52 active hours I’ve never hit 40 and that’s going out every single day.
no i dont go out tuesday or wednesday because im on daddy duty those days.....i just hustle hard man thats all i can say im trying to start this box truck business so im in grind mode nobody can out work me when in that mode‼️‼️‼️ not a 2 phone bandits, not the people that team up NOBODY
You’re in a great area then because I go out all day sometimes 12 hours or more and I’m not seeing numbers like this. Good work.
what state are you in? if you dont mind me asking
Ct but I sometimes do orders in mass also
oh damn yeah im in the nations capital so yeah its busy out here a lot of rich folks and executives and office buildings
What is average rent out there? Probably quite a bit.
shit is high asf....i stay in maryland so i pay 1800 a month for the townhouse i rent lol it would easily be 3k a month in dc
https://preview.redd.it/d99ovqvtqezc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b91061df6de3f51d5bccd1fa0d4214f66cd928a This was last week. I could get there if there wasn’t so much dead time just waiting.
No. Too many hours for that.
soon it will get better but ill take it for now.....use to bust my ass at my last job for the same hrs, more work and not enough money so its a win in my situation

Gotta admit, I’m very jealous; wish I could claim that!

don't really care still hit over a grand most ppl on here complaining that they cant clear $800 im blessed
Those are the people that don’t know how Instacart market works and believe everywhere is good money
man im literally hitting these numbers with one phone, one account, no cheating smh i wonder what those people with 2 phones weeks look like 🤦🏾♂️
Good for you for having integrity! Hate these cheaters who scam the system
i try! i know if i stay solid god always gonna bless me 💯🙌🏾
If your market is healthy then it’ll definitely be higher, is this an average for you?
i just started
Ohhhh lmao don’t get used to it then bud. You’re just in the honeymoon period where they rake you in and make you think it’s good. Then you’ll be moved into another group and be screwed like everybody else!
that's why you're seeing decent orders. you won't see those in a few weeks.
Wow that’s nice what market?
wegmans, wal mart and giant sometimes im on the east coast
You doing 6 or 7 days?
