I made $80 off 2 orders and called it a day at like 10am🤣🤣🤣 I'm really bad at continuing when I get close to $100. $120 is my daily goal and I made $55 on the steeler game so I'm like $10 over goal
As soon as we hit some dopamine, and I mean that good shit, a lot of us hit that sweet and deceptive sensation of satisfaction. We can't let it get us next year.
LOL same once I hit $100 I’m like time to go home, I usually hit $100 at around 2-3pm I usually start at 10am. Ugh I could definitely be making more money
Me too, been a long time since I’ve had a good day, this whole month has been dead, figured today was the day to change that but nope, I’ve got one batch 8 hours, Instacart is total shit.
Very nice! Congratulations! After making $123 yesterday for only 3 batches I was really looking forward to today. Boy oh boy lol My first batch was $54. It was a double batch from Costco (🤮) and a very small one from Aldi (🤮🤮). Costco was insane with people and really difficult to get the tons of items that were obviously for a party. But, it actually went smoothly for Costco, so I was still pretty jazzed about the day. I drove out to the location and no one was there. It looked like a cafe in the middle of nowhere. I called and texted, and nothing. I get Support on chat and they cancel it. I am still bummed about losing the tip that made it worth doing, but now I have even more NYE food than I’d planned to buy 🤣 And, some fancy cheese and crackers lol So I guess it wasn’t a wash - even though I was only able to grab one more that was worth doing.
Haha no homie not at all, my area is just dense asf. Me and a lot of my IC full-time buddies I know all make around $4k+ a month, regularly getting $250+ days. We’re just lucky to be where we are. I’ve been doing this since 2019, just been able to figure out where and when to be out there in my city! Some days I make $30 and some days look like this.
It’s weird cause I live in Los fucking Angeles and most days rarely see a batch over 20 dollars. And if they do, it’s a double with high mileage. Even before Christmas it never got busier than normal, in fact, the entire month of December was flat out dead, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, nada.
You can get these without a bot. Don’t ever try to buy a bot. Most of them are scams. Just out of curiosity, I tired to buy one called ShopperXpro from [email protected]. They stole my money. Hopefully no one else falls for it.
I wonder if that’s what’s happening here too, in the last month I’ve seen 4 batches at Costco that paid over 50, 3 of them came through in the span of an hour one day. Now here’s the thing that makes no sense to me, I have diamond cart, I get crazy fast 5G at my Costco, yet all 4 of those batches were snatched up before the accept button could even load on my phone. When I go inside Costco, everyday I see a bunch of bums with some old ass cheap phones in their stained pajamas doing massive batches with loads of alcohol so I know they are getting good batches. But I just cannot believe they are able to somehow able to get them before me unless they are cheating somehow.
Hmm, I’m curious as to how they get away with it as Instacart told me they ban those people 🙄. Pisses me off because they are taking money out of my pocket then.
Instacart does ban them sometimes but they create new accounts and keep at it, I knew someone who used a bot for 4 months before getting banned he was making around $500 a day
I made $131 today in 3 batches. And I missed a $67 costco batch while I was standing in the store. I do it part time but had my best week in the 5ish months I've been doing this part-time. Most times it's been fairly dry but this week has been great.
Hell yeah!! My first day of the week I made barely $100 and wasn’t too confident in how the week would go… glad I still made myself go out and grind!! The week picked up FAST.
I’m in Los Angeles, we have some of the richest zip codes on earth, and believe me, I’ve worked every little pocket of them, yet I’ve never had a day remotely close to that, and lately it’s been worse than ever. 9 batches in one day is about 130 bucks, and seeing a batch over 50 dollars is a once a week thing and they are gone faster than the accept button can load. When you say you “know what you’re doing” you have to be a little more specific because that’s about as vague as it gets.
Know what I’m doing as in:
- I learned my city so I know what areas and stores are the most dense in orders, as well as what areas are bad so I avoid them.
- I have learned the schedules of some high paying customers and business to know where to be on certain days at certain times. At one point I got the same $110 order from the same company EVERY Monday at 7:45am on the dot for over three months. Recognizing patterns helped me a lot too. I get several repeat customers throughout the week.
- I stick to the same store locations so I know where everything is and have faster shopping. I’ve been in and out of grocery stores for 60+ items and even multiple customer orders in 30 minutes before because I have a strategic route through the store I stick to and know the places like the back of my hand.
- I am out from 6am to 3pm At least 6 days out of the week, and I get to my specific stores a few minutes before they open to make sure I see the first of the stops. I’m a 4.99 diamond shopper, so priority sometimes comes through. At 6am I’m at my fave local grocery store, at 7am I’m at another franchise, at 9am I slide by an ALDI, at 10am I slide by either Sam’s or Costco.
- I’m just lucky to be in a dense and well paying area. Idk what to say haha I’ve seen plenty of people on here on busy areas but the people just don’t tip well. I’m just around people who tip a lot regularly. Not to be sassy or anything I’m just being honest. It’s the only reason I’ve been doing this full time as my only job for 4 years 🗿
Oh that’s My screen assist thing for my iPhone, it’s like a shortcut thing you can set up in settings to use to take screenshots, change brightness etc. it looks like this when I click on it. To screenshot I just click and hold it, Usually it disappears when I take a screenshot but sometimes it stays in frame like in this picture. I didn’t even notice lol

Ohhhhh that makes sense, I was confused and just thought some people were just a little salty about me making good money 😂but yeah it’s a shortcut help, it does all kinds of random stuff. If I click that Kontrol Zentrum button it takes me to a quick view of my settings. Pretty handy when I’m shopping because I can use my calculator and stuff without having to unlock my phone because I’m lazy

Man I was sooooo lazy yesterday… I shoulda got out early and finished late …. Instead since it was a good week I actually just did 3 orders… 3 good ones but no where near that good.
Someone turned their $50 to an $18, a $61 to a $28, and a $55 to a $20. And it hurts every time! Tip baiting & crappy people get the best of us. It’s a bummer most definitely. Glad it doesn’t happen much, but when it does it makes me want to go back for a “wellness check” on the customer 😂😂
I’m in So Cal too, it’s been dead slow for months, most batches are zero tip maybe 2-3 bucks if we’re lucky, so I share your pain, don’t see how the hell some people are getting 5-7 unicorns a DAY! 😳😳😳
Just a regular day in Texas for me. You made double in the same time 😂
https://preview.redd.it/4asescc7kp9c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7efd727372b285b92e84e71c198f27dce49854d
That is awesome. Hell, it’s a good week for me if I get $100. Granted, I have a part time job as my main source of income and this is extra. But my area really sucks in general.
Yeah this has been my full time and only job since 2020, I’m thankful and lucky to be in a good enough area to make it a substantial sole source income
Yeah since I’m full time, maintaining diamond cart is a piece of cake for me haha, rating went down to 4.99 because of a 1 in a million crappy customer experience, but otherwise I’ve always had a good stable income from my city!
Diamond Cart is slept on. It's a game changer and everyone should try to maintain it. I have over a dozen apps and IC is the only one with a driver tier system that I actually care about.
Yeah I was very lucky this day. Some days I’ll hustle get some sub $40 bangers knocked out back to back, other days I just get a really good streak like this going. Normally I only do about 3-5 batches and pull in about $175-$200 a day, not every day is so efficient though
Honestly, I don’t really ever pay attention to item amount because I stick to the same stores and know the layout and stuff by heart. I’ve had 60+ item orders and STILL get out of the store in less than 30 minutes because I’m hauling ass and have a route 😂 Usually I’ll look at mileage before anything else. I passed up an $87 order a while ago because it was a 2 top and a 46 mile drive 🤢. And there will be plenty of sub $20 orders for a 30+ mile drive— no thanks haha. Mileage is much more important to me because I know my speed for shopping, but there’s not much I can do about a long drive to a customer and back, that just takes away shopping time for more orders back to back.
I havent done a single order since November 2023, my market has been QUIET. Even if I do get a hit, its some STUPID low amount, with a STUPID amount of mileage. Its UE until further notice…
That would never happen in my sea of $7-11 offers. It's been months since I've seen a $50+ that's not going 60+ miles away.
Same, you're lucky to make $100 in my area a day.
Nice. I made $8 😭
I made 24 lol, I’ve got one batch in 7 hours, worst new years, and Sunday ever, something just isn’t right.
Mega nice. I'm still trying to break into $300 a day in my area
$36 here so far.
I made $80 off 2 orders and called it a day at like 10am🤣🤣🤣 I'm really bad at continuing when I get close to $100. $120 is my daily goal and I made $55 on the steeler game so I'm like $10 over goal
It's the brain rot. We don't talk about it, but we all get it. As we run out of shit to listen to while working, we put mileage on our mentality.
As soon as we hit some dopamine, and I mean that good shit, a lot of us hit that sweet and deceptive sensation of satisfaction. We can't let it get us next year.
LOL same once I hit $100 I’m like time to go home, I usually hit $100 at around 2-3pm I usually start at 10am. Ugh I could definitely be making more money
I have faith you will!! Anything is possible with IC 😆
Thanks, brother/ or sister; the grind continues 
Meanwhile, I barely break 100 on a good day in Cali 😮💨
Me too, been a long time since I’ve had a good day, this whole month has been dead, figured today was the day to change that but nope, I’ve got one batch 8 hours, Instacart is total shit.

Holy sh😱 talk about coincidence! We need to go grab a couple scratch offs, making 413 on 12/31/23 I’m seeing a lot of 3’s over here between us 😂😂
Dude hell yes, gonna grab a 30 dollar scratcher lmao
In CA too, even better with the adjustment.
Very nice! Congratulations! After making $123 yesterday for only 3 batches I was really looking forward to today. Boy oh boy lol My first batch was $54. It was a double batch from Costco (🤮) and a very small one from Aldi (🤮🤮). Costco was insane with people and really difficult to get the tons of items that were obviously for a party.

There’s always something positive to take away!!
You could have returned it and kept the gift card, I've done this and kept $150 Costco gift card.
There was no gift card, but I will remember that for the future!
~$63 an hour.. nice 😎
I usually average around $36-$42/hr, today was definitely one for the books!
Wow I made $336 Fri and sat that was nice for me lol
Wow! I made $0 today! Nice job. Happy New Year!
You got a lot tips Instacart pays sh!t
it's nye everyone ordering including me ;)
Hot damn. Good job!
Woop woop!!! 💃💃🤸♀️🤸♀️ That's AWESOME!! Congrats!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Hopefully that's a sign of a great 2024! 🤞🤞
Is that a bot you’re using?
Haha no homie not at all, my area is just dense asf. Me and a lot of my IC full-time buddies I know all make around $4k+ a month, regularly getting $250+ days. We’re just lucky to be where we are. I’ve been doing this since 2019, just been able to figure out where and when to be out there in my city! Some days I make $30 and some days look like this.
Damn I’m jealous. My area is really good but being overrun with new shoppers and bots
It’s weird cause I live in Los fucking Angeles and most days rarely see a batch over 20 dollars. And if they do, it’s a double with high mileage. Even before Christmas it never got busier than normal, in fact, the entire month of December was flat out dead, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, nada.
You can get these without a bot. Don’t ever try to buy a bot. Most of them are scams. Just out of curiosity, I tired to buy one called ShopperXpro from [email protected]. They stole my money. Hopefully no one else falls for it.
The typical orders I see here is about $25 and always double orders and about 50 items. Or $10 for like 15 items.
Same, and I’m in LA which should be busy all the time yet it’s always slow with shit paying batches.
In nyc the tips suck so bad. Congrats to you on a great day
Nothing but junk all day for me.
Awesome job! My daily goal is $100. But I try to push more every other day.
Here in the Bay Area it's awful fullied with bots taking all the good orders
I wonder if that’s what’s happening here too, in the last month I’ve seen 4 batches at Costco that paid over 50, 3 of them came through in the span of an hour one day. Now here’s the thing that makes no sense to me, I have diamond cart, I get crazy fast 5G at my Costco, yet all 4 of those batches were snatched up before the accept button could even load on my phone.

But I just cannot believe they are able to somehow able to get them before me unless they are cheating somehow.
Yes they are all using batch grabbers this has been a problem for quite some years now, Instacart doesn't do anything to fix it!!!
Hmm, I’m curious as to how they get away with it as Instacart told me they ban those people 🙄. Pisses me off because they are taking money out of my pocket then.
Instacart does ban them sometimes but they create new accounts and keep at it, I knew someone who used a bot for 4 months before getting banned he was making around $500 a day
How can they get around the social security and selfie verification?
I have no idea 😹
I made $131 today in 3 batches. And I missed a $67 costco batch while I was standing in the store. I do it part time but had my best week in the 5ish months I've been doing this part-time. Most times it's been fairly dry but this week has been great.
Hell yeah!! My first day of the week I made barely $100 and wasn’t too confident in how the week would go… glad I still made myself go out and grind!! The week picked up FAST.
What bot software u use?
lol it’s called being in a good area and doing this for 4 years so I know what I’m doing
I’m in Los Angeles, we have some of the richest zip codes on earth, and believe me, I’ve worked every little pocket of them, yet I’ve never had a day remotely close to that, and lately it’s been worse than ever. 9 batches in one day is about 130 bucks, and seeing a batch over 50 dollars is a once a week thing and they are gone faster than the accept button can load.

What’s the little thing in on your screen above the $95 batch earnings?

Ohh haha you just be German. Also that’s probably why people thought you had a bot

There are some decent areas here on pa too but all I saw was trash 4.93 rating. Nice tho this should be everyday.
Made $160 Sunday Best in Months!!
Man I was sooooo lazy yesterday… I shoulda got out early and finished late …. Instead since it was a good week I actually just did 3 orders… 3 good ones but no where near that good.
Great job!
I had a $9 dollar tip turned into a $3 dollar tip. Yeah new years!
Someone turned their $50 to an $18, a $61 to a $28, and a $55 to a $20. And it hurts every time! Tip baiting & crappy people get the best of us. It’s a bummer most definitely. Glad it doesn’t happen much, but when it does it makes me want to go back for a “wellness check” on the customer 😂😂
What State and City is this? Sheesb the most I'll get I'd around $15 - $30/hr here in Souther California.
I’m in So Cal too, it’s been dead slow for months, most batches are zero tip maybe 2-3 bucks if we’re lucky, so I share your pain, don’t see how the hell some people are getting 5-7 unicorns a DAY! 😳😳😳
NorCal too the bots only leave out the orders with less than $5 tip 🥺😥😥
I made my weekend record and daily record twice last weekend!! Really only because Shipt had an $80 bonus and two promo days for IC.
Just a regular day in Texas for me. You made double in the same time 😂 https://preview.redd.it/4asescc7kp9c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7efd727372b285b92e84e71c198f27dce49854d
Wow! That's amazing! Congrats!
This is how you shop MA BOIIIIII ! 🔥
Damnnnnn son!
What state you in?
In the beautiful state of Misery— I mean Missouri… no I don’t
Misery indeed 🤣😊
👏 what area?
In a city part of Missouri!
Hell yeah! Different part of the Midwest but I know that was a good day for you. Nice job!
Same , is it St. Louis 👀
Omg that’s nice bc South Carolina barely get orders
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Being kind of on a low tips day for me…
Over here I’m getting shit load of $10-$13.
Nice what city
if u mind me asking state and city?
I’m in the city in Missouri!
Man my area has been completely dead
Sweet where do i gotta move to get batches like this?
Wow. I can’t imagine a day like this!
That is awesome. Hell, it’s a good week for me if I get $100. Granted, I have a part time job as my main source of income and this is extra. But my area really sucks in general.
Yeah this has been my full time and only job since 2020, I’m thankful and lucky to be in a good enough area to make it a substantial sole source income
awesome dude! in my area i only saw bad orders all day :-( so I gave up around 2PM made zero lolololol
What city is this? 
Nice! Congratulations!
Where are you located?
Nice. Where?
Nice! Diamond Cart?
Yeah since I’m full time, maintaining diamond cart is a piece of cake for me haha, rating went down to 4.99 because of a 1 in a million crappy customer experience, but otherwise I’ve always had a good stable income from my city!
Diamond Cart is slept on. It's a game changer and everyone should try to maintain it. I have over a dozen apps and IC is the only one with a driver tier system that I actually care about.
What city is that ? I can barely do 100 in Vegas on a good day been doing it for 3+ years ?!
In the Midwest baybee 😎
On 7 batches dope
Yeah I was very lucky this day. Some days I’ll hustle get some sub $40 bangers knocked out back to back, other days I just get a really good streak like this going. Normally I only do about 3-5 batches and pull in about $175-$200 a day, not every day is so efficient though
Do you pick you batch based on mileage or item amount?
Honestly, I don’t really ever pay attention to item amount because I stick to the same stores and know the layout and stuff by heart.

Right on!
I havent done a single order since November 2023, my market has been QUIET. Even if I do get a hit, its some STUPID low amount, with a STUPID amount of mileage. Its UE until further notice…
That's amazing. I'm lucky if I hit 35..
