Kroger will always have a special place in my gig journey because it's where I completed my very first Instacart order. Looking back, that first order definitely wasn't worth the money, but the experience was priceless. We all have to start somewhere...
Kroger – Where My Gig Journey Took Root
Albertsons is another store that's just a couple of miles from my house. I don't receive as many shopping offers here as I do at some of the larger grocery chains, but I still find myself here a few times each week through Instacart and DoorDash. One...
Albertsons – Small Store, Big Convenience
I could count on one hand how many times I had been inside an ALDI before I started doing delivery gigs. To be honest, for the first few months, I dreaded shopping there. You would think a smaller store with a more limited selection would make shoppi...

Walgreens is one of my go-to stores for smaller gig shopping orders. Most orders are fairly small, so they can be nice, quick shops—until you’re looking for shade 007 of a lip liner buried among 100 other nearly identical colors. 😂 A majority of the... One extra thing to keep in mind: some medication orders may require ID verification at delivery. It’s not a big deal, but it does add an extra step at drop-off, so it’s good to know that may be part of the order before you head out.

CVS is another one of my go-to stores for smaller gig shopping orders. I have two locations in my typical shopping area, so I’ve gotten pretty familiar with where things are—which definitely helps! Most of the orders I get here are just a handful of ...
