I picked up groceries at Aldi yesterday, fulfilling the second Instacart order. It wasn't quite as bad as the first time I picked up at Aldi, but was still glitchy. The first time, I followed instructions on the app to let them know I was on the way. The shopper seemed to assume I was there, and phoned to ask where I was. I told her I was on the way and would be there in a few minutes. By the time I got there, she had disappeared. I waited a long time and finally had to go in to find out what was happening.
This time, I decided I would skip the "on the way" notification and just click on "I am here" once I was parked. Well, that didn't work either. No one seemed to know I was there. Once again, I had to go inside and find someone. Yet I saw someone else drive up and get served while I was waiting.
I also did not get one of my items, but Instacart quickly gave me a refund for that.
My total bill was $43 -- less than estimated.
Afterwards, I went to Steak N Shake's drive-thru and got a burger for $6.
Variables are still at 85% because of the adjustments to the grocery expense.
Today is going to be a stay-at-home day.
Iggy is doing well on the fluids. He ate well this morning.
