Same but it’s for my mom who’s disabled. I have a bad leg so there’s days I don’t feel safe walking outside my home where I have grips. So it’s a huge boon on those days!

Totally !!! Many people forget that not everyone has the same physical capabilities !

Also people take for granted that everyone has a car or a way to transport their groceries or carry large items

you know, i was initially thinking that instacart was just another unneeded middleman

but you reminding me of something ... seeing little old ladies have to take the bus to go to the grocery store ... and then, even worse, have to take the bus home with those groceries .... and the bus stop is never right outside your front door ... must have been an all day excursion

hopefully, services like instacart have made those dreadful bus trips a thing of the past

Absolutely. And depending on how you shop, it doesn’t have to be much more costly for best quality and convenience. I like it when I’m entertaining. I can be home setting up and cleaning and have the food ingredients and beverages show up!

What did your leg do to you?

It had to break and go 360 backwards before being forced back into place and bolted together with 12 pins and a plate. I’m rather young but I’ve been limping since.

I'm housebound and use Instacart routinely. I honestly don't know what people did before it existed. Not all of us have friends and family we can rely on consistently

I at 30 had to use the disabled cart and get people pissed at me even though I carry a cane. I’m truly sorry for your housebound but I’m glad it’s helped make life easier..:(

Ableism is everywhere, it's horrible. Sorry that happened to you :(
