What are the best times to shop Instacart?

The best times vary by market, but many shoppers watch mornings, lunch windows, evenings, weekends, weather, and store-specific rush patterns.

Generic advice can help you test, but it cannot replace your own records. A store that is strong in one city may be weak in another.

Track when you started, when orders arrived, how much they paid, and how much waiting happened before and between batches.

After a few weeks, compare daily history and store breakdowns by time window.
